Abandoned Booking Recovery Sequence
A done-for-you hotel automation built for the Digital Marketing Manager, connecting Twilio, Mailchimp, and ActiveCampaign so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
When a website visitor starts a reservation, selecting dates and a room type, but leaves the booking engine before completing payment, the system automatically captures the session and sends a follow-up email within an hour with their selected dates pre-filled and a direct link back to checkout.
A second message goes out 24 hours later, and if the booking still hasn't been completed, a final message offers a small incentive, a complimentary breakfast or a room upgrade, to close the gap.
Visitors who abandon a booking during a rate spike are flagged separately so the revenue manager can see whether pricing, not indecision, is the real reason bookings are being lost.
Reservations that used to disappear the moment a guest closed the browser tab are now recovered at a meaningful rate every month.
- Cloudbeds or SiteMinder
- Zapier or Make.com
- Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign
- Twilio
- Google Analytics
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, a digital marketing manager has to notice problems after they've already happened, then scramble to fix them manually one at a time. It rarely feels urgent in the moment, but it adds up fast.
With this automation
- Instant first response by text and email on every new inquiry
- Follow-up cadences that stop the moment a lead replies
- Stalled-deal alerts before a pipeline quietly goes cold
- Clean CRM records without manual data entry
