What 3AM Guest Messages Look Like — With and Without Properly

Illustrative overnight thread Fictional guest, home and times. It shows how an overnight message about getting in is handled.
  1. Guest 3:07 AM

    Hi, we just arrived and the keypad won’t take our code. It’s raining and we have two kids with us.

  2. Properly hospitality agent 3:10 AM

    Sorry about that, let’s get you inside. On this lock you enter the code, then press the lock button at the bottom of the keypad. Could you try that?

  3. Guest 3:12 AM

    That worked, thank you!

  4. Properly hospitality agent 3:13 AM

    Glad you’re in. I’ve flagged this step to the owner so the arrival instructions can be updated.
