Sending your first packet

A "packet" is your house rules + fee schedule for a property. Sending a packet means emailing one guest a single-use signing link. Here’s the whole flow.

From the dashboard

Open the property, click Reservations, then New reservation. Enter the guest name, email, and dates. Click Send. PreArrive emails the guest a branded link.

You can also send from the Reservations tab in the side rail — pick a property, fill in the guest, hit send. Same result.

What the guest sees

A page branded with your property name (and address, if you set one). They tap each rule to acknowledge, then each fee — each one is a separate tap so we can prove individual disclosure later.

Then they draw a signature with their finger or mouse, hit submit, and get a confirmation email with WiFi, door code, and a link they can reopen until checkout.

What you get back

Three things land on the reservation:

  • A PDF certificate with the property, the guest, every rule + fee they acknowledged, the drawn signature, and the timestamp + IP audit trail.
  • A content hash on the signed snapshot — the rules + fees they signed are immutable, even if you edit the live packet later.
  • An email notification to you when they sign, so you don’t have to refresh.

Resending and overriding

If the guest says they never got the email, click Resend on the reservation — same link, no new token.

If they refuse to sign or use the link, you can mark the reservation as manually overridden — you attest you got verbal/messaging acknowledgment another way. The certificate notes the override.
