  7. Complete Quick Setup

    Whenever you import a property, JottoGo opens Quick Setup — a guided wizard that helps you personalize your Guest Jotto. You’ll confirm your property’s location, personalize your greeting, add your Guest Support details, customize your sign-off, enter your Wi-Fi information, choose your Delivery Schedule, and more. Simply tap Continue through each step. In just a couple of minutes, a personalized Guest Jotto will be ready to welcome your next guests.

    Complete Quick Setup
  8. Congratulations — check your email

    When setup finishes, JottoGo emails you a sample Guest Jotto PDF. Your automation schedule appears on the confirmation screen — you and your crew (if set up) will receive Jottos automatically for each upcoming booking.

What happens after setup?

After Quick Setup is complete, JottoGo quietly takes care of the rest.

Each new booking is automatically imported from Guesty, personalized using your guest’s reservation details and message history, then delivered according to your chosen schedule.

You’re ready to go from day one. As you become familiar with JottoGo, you can continue refining your Guest Jotto with your own branding, connect a printer for automatic printing, personalize Doggo Jotto for four-legged guests, and tailor Crew To Do—your printable prep checklist with guest-specific reminders and your own property tasks—to suit the way your team works.

Data we read from Guesty

Read

  • Properties and listing details (name, location, photos)
  • Confirmed bookings (guest names, stay dates, guest counts, channel)
  • Guest profile fields on bookings
  • Guest message threads
  • Booking updates and cancellations

Written back

  • None — JottoGo does not write data back to Guesty

JottoGo uses booking details and guest messages only to personalize welcome letters. Guest information is retained for the duration of the stay and automatically removed at 11:59 PM on checkout day in the property's timezone — long enough to personalize and deliver, but not kept as a permanent guest database.

Frequently asked questions

Can I customize my welcome letter?

Yes. Quick Setup gets you started in minutes, then you can continue refining your Guest Jotto over time with your own branding, welcome, Wi-Fi details, QR codes and other thoughtful touches.

Why are Guest Jottos personalized?

JottoGo looks for details your guests have already shared — such as celebrations, traveling companions, dietary preferences, and pets — to create a welcome that feels thoughtful and builds goodwill from the moment they arrive.

How does JottoGo help improve the guest experience?

Guest Jottos help guests feel expected, welcomed and genuinely looked after. Those thoughtful touches build goodwill at arrival, which can make guests more forgiving of small issues and more likely to remember their stay for the right reasons.

Do direct bookings work?

Yes. Any confirmed booking imported through Guesty can generate a Guest Jotto. Personalization improves as guests share more information through Guesty messages.

Do cleaners receive Jottos?

Yes. Invite your cleaners or co-hosts to your Crew Portal so they can preview and print Guest Jottos. On Pro, you can also include Crew To Do — a printable preparation checklist with guest-specific reminders and your own property tasks.

Can I print automatically?

Yes. Add an email-to-print address to your Automation and JottoGo can send each Guest Jotto to your property printer on the schedule you choose.

What can I do on the free plan?

Starter lets you build Guest Jottos, preview PDFs, send test emails, and use basic manual delivery. Automatic scheduled delivery is included on Essential and Pro.

What if I manage multiple properties?

JottoGo imports each Guesty property separately, including combined and lock-off listings. You can customize each Guest Jotto so it matches the personality and practical details of that property.

Can I disable Automations?

Yes. Pause or edit any Automation schedule from your dashboard without disconnecting your booking platform.

Do I need the Guesty Marketplace to connect?

No. You connect using Guesty’s Open API — create an OAuth application in your Guesty account and paste the credentials into JottoGo. A Guesty Marketplace listing may come later; it is not required to get started.
