One guest journey, five moments to upsell
Each moment is an event in your PMS with its own timing. chatlyn sends the message by itself, in the guest’s language, and the guest answers with a tap.
Open the WhatsApp line the moment they book
The confirmation makes the guest reachable on WhatsApp. Keep it clean, then follow with an offer message of its own while the excitement is fresh.
- Room upgrade
- Breakfast package
- Airport transfer
Sell the stay before they pack
Days before arrival is when guests plan. Put the upgrade, the spa and the arrival breakfast in front of them, one tap away.
- Early check-in
- Spa treatments
- Celebration extras
- Parking
Fill tonight’s tables and today’s spa slots
On the day they arrive, guests decide how to spend the evening. A message with tonight’s table and today’s free treatments turns that into revenue.
- Dinner table
- Same-day spa
- Excursions
Make leaving a little later worth it
The evening before departure is the natural moment for a late check-out, one more night or a transfer to the airport.
- Late check-out
- Extra night

Turn a good stay into the next booking
Two days after check-out, the stay is still vivid. Ask for the review and invite them back while they still remember the view.
- Return stay
- Gift vouchers
- Review request
- No WhatsApp? Key information goes out by SMS instead.
- A cancelled booking stops every message after it.
- Sent in the language the guest booked in.

How a tap becomes revenue
- Straight to your booking engine Link buttons open your booking engine, shop or spa booking page, so the guest pays where you already take payments.
- Or a reply your team confirms The request lands in your inbox with the booking beside it. Your team confirms and adds it in the PMS.
- The AI answers the questions in between Is the spa open on Sunday? Can we bring the dog? The AI replies on WhatsApp, day and night, and hands over when a person should.
The booking confirmation opens the conversation
Your PMS tells chatlyn when a guest books, arrives and leaves. Each moment sends a WhatsApp template with the guest’s name, dates and room already filled in, at the timing you set, from minutes to months before or after.
Messages go to the booker’s phone in their language. A cancellation stops everything still scheduled for that booking.
In the room, one scan away
A QR code on the room card or at the pool opens WhatsApp with your concierge menu: spa times, dinner, excursions, with photos, buttons and lists of up to ten options.
The scan starts the conversation, so the whole menu is free to use inside WhatsApp’s 24-hour window, and your team only confirms.
See which offer gets the tap
Every step of every journey is counted. You see how far guests get, which offers they click and which messages were delivered, read or failed.
Tracked links carry UTM parameters, so the clicks also show up in your Google Analytics.
95% of WhatsApp messages opened at Spa Resort Geinberg
Geinberg reaches more than 10,000 guests a year on WhatsApp: a morning message on arrival day with times, Wi-Fi and quick replies, and offers for the chalets, the sauna lounge and the adults-only spa.
With chatlyn, we turned guest communication into a revenue driver in our Spa, 95% open rates on WhatsApp campaigns and 86% of enquiries handled without staff involvement.
Bernhard SängerDirector of Operations, Spa Resort Geinberg Upsells happen in conversations, not newsletters
A newsletter is a message nobody is expected to answer. On WhatsApp the guest replies, asks about the spa or a table for tonight, gets an answer on the spot and books. See what those conversations are worth across your hotels.
€162 per room, across 120 rooms
An estimate, not a promise. It assumes 2.5-night stays and that 5% of guests who read an offer book it, which is the conservative case: on WhatsApp they can also ask first. Open rates come from Spa Resort Geinberg, a chatlyn customer: 95% on WhatsApp against about 20% for email.

Questions about guest journey automation.
Guest journey automation sends each guest the right message at each moment of their stay without anyone on your team pressing send. With chatlyn, your PMS reports the booking, the arrival, the check-in, the check-out and the stay itself, and each event sends a WhatsApp message in the guest’s language at the timing you choose. Most of those messages carry an offer.
Five: booking created, arrival, check-in, check-out and post stay. For each one you set the timing, from instantly to minutes, days or months before or after the event, and the message that goes out.
Two ways. A link button opens your booking engine, shop or spa booking page, so the guest pays where you already take payments. Or the guest replies in the chat, the request lands in your inbox with the booking beside it, and your team confirms it. The AI answers questions on WhatsApp along the way, but it never books or changes a reservation itself.
Each moment can have an SMS fallback, so key information like check-in times still reaches the guest. SMS is one-way: guests cannot reply to it, so offers work best on WhatsApp.
Each message goes out in the language the guest booked in, taken from your PMS. You write a template once, the AI helps translate it, and each translation is approved by Meta.
A cancellation stops every automated message still scheduled for that booking, so nobody gets a spa offer for a stay that is no longer happening.
Not if the messages are about their stay. Meta limits how many marketing messages each person can receive per day across all businesses, and we recommend one offer per guest every week or two. Messages about the booking itself, like check-in details, are not limited.
We integrate with Oracle OPERA Cloud, Mews, apaleo, protel, Guestline, Casablanca, Clock PMS+ and other systems. The connection is read-only and set up by our team. Tell us your PMS on a call and we will confirm what your setup supports.
Most hotels are live within 2 to 4 weeks. Our onboarding team connects the PMS and builds the first journey with you, so you never start from a blank page.
