– email addreses a message will be sent to (customer, room owner, other addresses),
– availability of the given message template (i.e. after a reservation is made, before reservation finishes, at any moment, etc.)
– manual or automatic sending of the given message,
– message language,
– reservation status which will trigger message sending (any, no payment, advance payment, full payment),
– room or room type where the message will be sent to,
– which message format will be used in the given template (i.e. HTML or SMS) and will it include attachment.
