Zeevou builds automated guest messaging into the guest journey, so registration runs without manual effort. Best Guest connects in two ways:

  • Automated messages — Zeevou automated messaging (email/SMS) delivers your registration link.
  • iCal sync — Best Guest imports every reservation Zeevou manages.

Estimated setup time: 5–10 minutes.

Before you start

  • An active Zeevou account with connected channels
  • A Best Guest account
  • Your Best Guest registration link, e.g.
https://bestguest.app/l/your-listing?channel=zeevou

(Use your real link. ?channel=zeevou records the reservation origin.)

Using the right link: every listing — each apartment, room, tent, RV, or whatever counts as your smallest bookable unit — has its own unique registration link. If you manage more than one listing, double-check you’re copying the correct one. Find all your links in Best Guest under Properties → [property] → Listings → Copy listing link, or grab them during the Listings step of onboarding.

Path 1 — Automated message

  1. In Zeevou, go to the gear icon (top right) → Automated Messages → New Automated Message — Host Core allows one active automated message; the Message Automation module removes that limit. Name it “Best Guest Registration”.
  2. Set When to Based on Booking’s Timeline and choose the number of days before check-in (e.g. 2 days before).
  3. To scope the message to a single OTA, add a condition under Booking → Channel — a separate “Creation Source” filter also exists, but it isn’t clearly documented, so don’t rely on it for channel targeting.
  4. Add your message and insert Zeevou’s guest-name placeholder from the editor.
Hello (guest first name),

Before arrival, please complete your online guest registration:
https://bestguest.app/l/your-listing

It takes under 2 minutes. We look forward to welcoming you.

Best Guest automatically reminds the main guest if they started registration but haven’t finished it. If a guest never opens the form at all, though, that reminder can’t reach them — so it’s worth scheduling a second scheduled message, timed 1 day after arrival instead of before it, using only the link:

Hello (guest first name),

Everything alright? Did you fill out all your forms and is the data correct?
Please follow this link if you still need to add/change some information:

Path 2 — iCal sync

Zeevou publishes iCal links at the Unit Type or Unit level rather than one combined property calendar — a Unit Type feed blocks bookings across every unit of that type, a Unit feed covers just that one, and occupancy typically refreshes every 3–4 hours (it isn’t real-time, and pricing/availability aren’t pushed). To import Zeevou reservations into Best Guest’s Reservation Verification, go to Listings → [Unit Type or Unit] → Pricing & Availability → iCal Links, copy the iCal link, and paste it into Best Guest.

  • Reservation confirmed → confirmation only
  • 2 days before arrival → registration link
  • Arrival day → access instructions
  • 1 day after arrival → reminder for guests who haven’t completed registration
  • Departure → checkout reminder

Troubleshooting

Message didn’t send — confirm the automation is enabled, the timing, and property assignment.

Reservation missing in Best Guest — verify the URL and ?channel=zeevou.
