Customer Emails Through Rex — Draft, Review, Send
Ask Rex to draft a customer email, then review and edit it on the compose page before sending. Rex never sends emails automatically — you always have the final say.
Rex can draft customer emails for you — check-in reminders, balance notices, follow-ups, or any custom message. You always review and edit before sending. Rex never sends emails on its own.

How It Works
Step 1: Ask Rex to Draft
Tell Rex what you want to say and who it's for:
- "Send a check-in reminder to Sarah Jones about her 10am booking"
- "Draft a balance reminder for the customer with $200 outstanding"
- "Message the Garcia family about the weather forecast for Saturday"
Step 2: Rex Creates the Draft
Rex: 1. Finds the customer's booking 2. Writes a professional email based on your request 3. Shows you a preview in the chat with the subject, recipient, and message summary 4. Gives you a Review & Send link
Step 3: Review & Edit
Click the link to open the compose page. You'll see:
- To — The customer's email (from the booking)
- Subject — Editable subject line
- Message body — Editable message text
- Booking context — Customer name, unit, date shown for reference
Edit anything you want — the subject, the wording, the tone. It's your email.
Step 4: Send
Click Send Email when you're satisfied. The email goes out immediately with your business branding, booking details, and contact information included automatically.

Starting from a Booking Page

- Click Email Customer
- This opens the compose page with the customer pre-filled
- Write your subject and message
- Click Send Email

Smart Email Safeguards
Duplicate Prevention
Rex checks if a similar email was already sent recently. If a balance reminder went out today, Rex will let you know:
"A balance reminder was already sent to this customer today. Want me to draft one anyway, or wait a few days?"
Email History
When Rex looks up a booking, it shows any emails already sent about that record — so you can see what the customer has already received before sending another message.

Tips
Let Rex Write the First Draft
Rex writes professional, friendly emails. Start with Rex's draft and tweak to match your voice — it's faster than writing from scratch.
Include Context in Your Request
The more you tell Rex, the better the draft:
- Good: "Remind Sarah about her check-in tomorrow at 10am and mention to bring sunscreen"
- Basic: "Email Sarah"
Check the Recipient
Always verify the To field on the compose page before sending.
