How it works

  1. Agent detects an abandoned booking-engine session — dates and room picked, no completion within 30 minutes.
  2. Re-checks availability in the PMS before messaging, in case the room sold in the meantime.
  3. Sends a reminder with the exact dates/room held and a direct resume link.
  4. If still open after 4 hours, follows up with a value-add, not a discount, to protect rate integrity.
  5. Places a voice call for high-value bookings left abandoned after 24 hours.
  6. Logs the outcome and reason — recovered, price, booked elsewhere — to the CRM for funnel analysis.
