About these flows
A communication flow is the collection of all messages that you as a rental owner and your customer receive about a booking and a trip. So you set which information is sent to whom and when.

Text messages (sms)
Click a communication flow and hit 'add'. You'll find option to send out text messages a day or 15 minutes before the start of the trip. It contains a link to the booking detail page with the start interface.
There are different regulations per country for the sending of automated text messages. Therefore, the text is not editable, and the number of supported countries is limited. At the moment we send your customers who speak Dutch, English, Danish, Spanish, Swedish, Italian or Portuguese a message in their own language. In other cases we will send an English message.
Why use multiple flows
You can create different flows, so you can vary the information for different boat types or locations. This way you can add specific location information such as the route to the jetty, or special instructions for a specific boat type.
Clearly you will expect less communication with renting a canoe for 2 hours than when renting a yacht for several weeks. You are completely in control of this!
