Every Conversation, One Inbox
Thread your guest email in a single unified inbox — one thread per booking, with booking context alongside every message. Connect Gmail or Outlook, or use forwarded and inbound email, and respond from one place.
How it works
Airflow pulls guest messages from every connected booking platform into one unified inbox. Whether a guest reaches out through Airbnb, sends a Booking.com inquiry, or emails your direct booking address, the conversation appears in the same interface alongside the booking details.
Each conversation thread shows the guest's booking information, property details, check-in dates, and message history in a single view. Your team can respond directly from Airflow, and the message is delivered back through the original platform so the guest sees it in their familiar channel.
For teams, the unified inbox supports assignment, internal notes, and read status. Assign conversations to specific team members, leave internal comments that guests cannot see, and track which messages have been read and responded to across your entire team.

FAQ
Common questions about Unified Inbox
Can I reply to guests from Airflow?
Yes. You reply by email from Airflow, and the conversation stays attached to the booking so your team has full context.
Can my team use the same inbox?
Yes. Your team can access the unified inbox, with message templates for consistent replies. The inbox covers email, Gmail, Outlook and Airflow automations.
Does the inbox include Airbnb and Booking.com messages?
The unified inbox threads guest email per booking. It does not show Airbnb or Booking.com in-platform messages, which stay on the OTA. A WhatsApp inbox is coming soon.
