Overview
The Macros page lets customers view, add, and manage macros per unit. It simplifies handling both synced (PMS-imported) and unsynced (custom) macros.
Macro Types
Import Field: Pulled from supported PMS systems
Custom Field: Manually created by the user
Page Features
1. Add Import Field
The Add Import Field button allows customers to add property macros that are imported directly from their connected PMS (Property Management System). These fields automatically pull in dynamic property-specific data, such as address, number of bedrooms, or amenities.
Note: This button is only visible for customers using PMS platforms that support field importing. It is not available for VR, OwnerRez, Hospitable, or Hostaway.
2. Add Custom Macro
The Add Custom Macro button allows customers to create their own property macros manually. These custom macros can be used to insert personalized or property-specific content that isn't pulled from a PMS.
When a custom macro is added:
It is categorized as "Unsynced"
It can be edited or updated at any time
It is available for use across messaging templates, Home Guides, and more
This option is ideal for customers who need flexibility beyond standard PMS fields.
