Guest conversations live under the Guests segment of the Chats tab. Open one to read the thread and reply.

Open a guest conversation

1

Go to the Guests segment

On the Chats tab, tap Guests to show your guest conversations.
2

Tap a conversation

Tap a guest’s row to open the thread. Each message shows the channel it came in on, and incoming messages sit on the left while your replies sit on the right.

Act on a message

Every message has a set of actions. On a phone, press and hold the message; on a computer, hover over it and tap the button that appears. A menu opens with what you can do — Copy message, and on an incoming guest message, Translate message and Draft reply. A row of quick emoji reactions sits just above the menu.

Listen to a guest’s voice note

When a guest sends a voice note, it arrives in the thread as a playable message.
1

Play the note

Tap the play button on the message to listen. Its length is shown next to the button, and a progress bar tracks playback — tap anywhere on the bar to jump straight to that point in the note.
2

Read the transcript

The voice note is transcribed automatically and written out under Transcript, so you can read what the guest said without playing the audio out loud. It reads Transcribing… for a moment while the text is prepared.
A transcript behaves like any other message: if it’s in another language, tap Translate under it (or open its actions — press and hold, or hover and tap — and choose Translate message), and use Draft reply from the same menu to answer it.
If the transcript couldn’t be prepared, the note still plays and shows Transcript unavailable with a Try again to have another go.

Send a reply

At the bottom of the conversation is the reply box.
1

Pick the channel

To the left of the reply box is a channel selector. Superhost defaults to the channel the guest last messaged you on, but you can change it before sending.
2

Type your message

Tap the box (it reads Reply to guest…) and type your reply.
3

Send

Tap the send button. Your message appears in the thread right away with a small delivery indicator next to the time.

Delivery indicators

The icon beside an outgoing message’s time tells you where it is on its way to the guest:
If the reply box reads Guest is not reachable on any channel, the guest has no connected channel to message on. Connect one under Channels first.
If a message fails to send, a short note under the bubble explains what went wrong in plain language — for example that the guest’s phone is unreachable, or that WhatsApp’s 24-hour reply window has closed — along with a suggested next step when there is one. Tap Technical details to see the raw error from the messaging network (useful when contacting support), and tap Retry to send the message again.
Replying to guests is role-gated. If you can open a guest conversation but don’t see the reply box, your role can read guest chats but not reply. A property Manager can adjust this under Roles & permissions.

Draft a reply with AI

Short on time or words? Superhost can draft a reply from the conversation so far. It only ever fills in the reply box, you review and edit before anything is sent.
1

Open Draft reply

Open the guest message’s actions (press and hold on a phone, or hover and tap on a computer) and choose Draft reply. It’s offered on incoming guest messages.
2

Review the draft

A suggested reply appears in the box. Read it over and edit anything you want to change.
3

Send when you're happy

Tap send. Nothing reaches the guest until you do.
The draft is written in the guest’s language and kept short for the channel you’re replying on. Treat it as a starting point and give it a quick read before sending.

Translate a guest’s message

When a guest writes in a language you don’t speak, Superhost offers to translate that message into your language.
1

Tap Translate

An incoming message in another language shows a Translate button right on the message. Tap it — or open the message’s actions (press and hold, or hover and tap ) and choose Translate message.
2

Read the translation

The message is replaced by its translation in your language.
3

See the original

Tap Show original to switch back to the guest’s words, and Show translation to return to the translated version.
Translate only appears on incoming guest messages written in a language other than the ones on your profile. Set the languages you speak under Your profile so Superhost knows which messages to offer to translate. If a message has been translated before, its translation appears instantly.
