The Basics

Create a Workspace

Everything in Conduit happens in your team’s workspace. Your workspace is where all communication, channels, and collaboration tools come together for your team. A new workspace is automatically created for your team at sign up but you have the ability to create multiple workspaces.

Invite your Team Members

To add team members to your Conduit workspace, navigate to Settings → Members in your workspace. Admins can invite new members, manage their roles, and remove members as needed.

Import Your Listings

Connect your Property Management System (PMS) to Conduit to streamline guest communication within HostAI.

Set Up Your Channels

To start handling communications across all the channels you talk to people on, you should begin by connecting your email, whatsapp number, or creating a business number:

Build custom inboxes

Flexible inboxes help you handle communications across your entire operation in Conduit, allowing you to create a dedicate inbox to manage guests, homeowners, contractors, and more. Learn how to:

This setup allows you to centralize and customize your communication workflows, making it easier to keep conversations on track and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Organize Your Inbox

Get to Inbox Zero

A clean inbox is the foundation of a strong support team, enabling your team to handle new messages with clarity and efficiency. Our Inbox Zero workflow keeps your inbox focused and actionable by turning every message into a to-do item.

Conversations flow through Todo, Follow-Up, and Done, helping you prioritize and clean up your inbox daily.

Automate Messaging with AI

AI Messaging lets your team handle a high volume of inquiries quickly without sacrificing response quality. AI replies are generated for all messages, allowing your team to focus on more complex issues.

Tag Important Messages

Conversation Tags help categorize and prioritize guest messages, ensuring that critical issues like "Early Check-In Requests," "Broken Appliance," or "Refund Requests" are addressed promptly.

Label Important Reservations

Reservation Labels help teams categorize and manage bookings more effectively. Automatically apply labels based on rules—like labeling all reservations over $10,000 as "Big Ticket Guest"—or manually label unique bookings, such as "Family Stays."

Work Together to Resolve Issues Fast

Collaborate directly within guest conversations, ensuring everyone stays aligned on key issues.

Use notes to leave updates or @mention teammates to bring their attention to specific conversations.

Manage Your Knowledge Base

Teach Your AI

Your AI relies on the information it has to improve response quality. Teaching your AI, or adding new knowledge, ensures the AI has the most up-to-date and accurate details.

Knowledge can range from Wi-Fi passwords for specific listings to global company policies. You can apply this knowledge to one listing, multiple listings, or globally to all.
