To avoid lost bookings, assign each chat to a named owner, define coverage windows and keep the conversation history in the company workspace. Levvo lets your team keep using WhatsApp. Section: The guest wrote at 11 p.m. and nobody replied The guest wrote at 11 p.m. and nobody replied A guest in Miami messages at 11 p.m. asking about availability. Your London team is asleep. Your Doha team has not seen the chat. By morning, the guest has booked another property. This happens in holiday rentals because enquiries, check-in instructions, maintenance issues and cleaning requests arrive in the same WhatsApp inbox. When several people share one number, nobody knows who should reply. Levvo lets several staff members work from one WhatsApp Business number, connected through a QR scan, while keeping conversation ownership visible. KeyPoints - Guests message outside office hours and across time zones. - Booking requests and maintenance issues get lost in shared chats. - Nobody knows who owns each conversation. - Levvo shows chat ownership, unanswered conversations and workload. Section: Why a shared WhatsApp number breaks down Why a shared WhatsApp number breaks down One phone works while one person manages it. When several people share it, the same questions repeat: - Who is answering this guest? - Is this a booking, a check-in issue or a maintenance request? - Did someone already send the arrival instructions? - Should the cleaner, the manager or the owner take it? Levvo lets you connect one or more authorised business numbers and see who owns each guest conversation, which chats remain unanswered and where workload is building up. Section: Separate enquiries, bookings and maintenance Separate enquiries, bookings and maintenance Not every message needs the same response. A booking request is urgent; a general question can wait; a maintenance issue needs the right person. | Message type | Owner | Next step | |---|---|---| | New booking enquiry | Reservations | Confirm availability and price | | Check-in or access issue | Guest experience | Send instructions or escalate | | Maintenance problem | Operations | Assign a technician or cleaner | | Cleaning schedule | Housekeeping | Confirm turnover time | | Billing or deposit | Administration | Reply with documentation | Levvo lets you create teams and connect authorised business numbers to the relevant team. Managers can review conversations, ownership, workload and reports within each team workspace. Section: Route by topic and availability Route by topic and availability Levvo's Topic Engine reads the subject of an incoming message and sends it to the staff member or AI agent who covers that topic, based on availability and speciality. In a holiday rental business, that means: - "Is the apartment available in July?" goes to reservations. - "The door code is not working" goes to operations. - "What time is check-in?" goes to guest experience. - "The cleaner has not arrived" goes to housekeeping. Levvo lets you adjust the words its topic classification uses, so routing reflects how guests actually write. Section: Set response expectations by message type Set response expectations by message type Do not promise 24/7 replies if nobody covers the night shift. Publish realistic response windows and make sure the handover reflects them. | Situation | Reasonable expectation | |---|---| | Booking enquiry during coverage hours | Reply within minutes | | Check-in issue | Immediate escalation | | Maintenance problem | Acknowledge and assign an owner | | Message outside coverage | Automated acknowledgement with next response window | Levvo lets you configure service thresholds and see when they are missed, along with unanswered conversations and workload by team. Section: Keep guest context in the company Keep guest context in the company If booking details and guest notes live only in one manager's phone, the business depends on one device and one person's memory. Levvo keeps chats, contacts and notes in the company workspace. If a staff member leaves or changes shift, conversations can be transferred to another team member. For long-term retention, connect your own Cloudflare R2 or Amazon S3 storage. Without it, message history is retained only for a limited period. Section: When Levvo fits When Levvo fits Levvo fits if your holiday rental business: - Receives booking enquiries and guest issues by WhatsApp. - Has several people sharing one number: reservations, cleaning, maintenance and management. - Needs to know who owns each conversation. - Wants to reduce unanswered chats during peak season. - Wants to keep the conversation history in the company workspace. It is especially relevant for property managers, holiday rental agencies, boutique hotels and short-let operators serving guests across different time zones. Section: When Levvo is not enough When Levvo is not enough Levvo is not a channel manager, a booking engine or a cleaning-scheduling tool. It does not replace: - Channel managers like Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo integrations. - Dynamic pricing tools. - Cleaning and maintenance scheduling software. - Payment links or deposit collection. - Review management platforms. If your main problem is managing calendars, pricing or cleaning schedules, you need a property-management system. Levvo solves the visibility and coordination layer around WhatsApp conversations. Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Can Levvo manage bookings automatically? No. Levvo does not replace a channel manager or booking engine. It helps holiday rental teams organise, assign and monitor WhatsApp conversations around bookings and guest issues. Can several staff members use the same WhatsApp number? Yes. Levvo lets several staff members work from one WhatsApp Business number, connected through a QR scan, while keeping conversation ownership visible. How do I avoid missing guest messages overnight? Define coverage windows and assign a named owner before each shift. Levvo shows unanswered conversations and workload so managers can spot gaps. Does Levvo store guest records? No. Levvo is not a property-management system. It keeps WhatsApp chats, contacts and notes in the company workspace, but bookings, calendars and pricing need a dedicated system. CTA Stop losing bookings to unanswered WhatsApp messages If your holiday rental team receives enquiries by WhatsApp, give every conversation an owner and keep the context in the company workspace.
