Automation already handles a large part of guest communication. Confirmations, check-in instructions, reminders, and frequent questions can all be resolved automatically within seconds.
However, real operations still generate situations where teams need to intervene manually:
- maintenance issues
- special requests
- last-minute changes
- operational follow-ups
- conversations that require human validation
And although these exceptions represent a smaller portion of the total communication volume, they often consume a significant amount of operational time.
Today, 90% of customers consider fast responses critical. This has made speed and response consistency a fundamental part of the guest experience.
That’s why UpMarket has introduced a feature that allows teams to save frequently used replies: a new functionality designed to help teams respond faster, maintain consistency between agents, and reduce operational time spent on manual conversations.
Quick Replies Directly Inside the Chat
This functionality allows teams to save, organize, search, and reuse common replies directly from the Communications Hub.
Some common examples include:
“Could you please send us a photo of the issue?”
“Thank you, we will review this with the property owner.”
“We have attached the check-in instructions again.”
These are situations where human judgment, operational context, or internal coordination are still necessary. The problem is that many teams continue typing the same manual responses repeatedly.
The feature is designed to streamline the manual communication layer without losing control over the responses being sent.
Manual Processes as the Exception
One of the most common mistakes when talking about AI and automation is assuming that every conversation can be fully automated.
In reality, hospitality operations still require human intervention in many situations:
- complex incidents
- operational decisions
- reservation exceptions
- coordination with property owners
- internal validations
Automation helps manage communication volume, but teams still handle special cases.
And this is exactly where Quick Replies create operational value: they allow teams to respond faster without having to rewrite the same response hundreds of times each month.
More Consistency Between Agents and Teams
When multiple agents manage conversations simultaneously, it is common for differences to appear in communication tone, response speed, shared information and operational follow-up.
Quick Replies help create more consistent communication across teams, especially in operations with multiple agents or constant shift changes.
In addition, the feature significantly simplifies onboarding for new team members by allowing them to reuse pre-approved responses aligned with the company’s operational standards.
This not only reduces operational time, but also helps maintain more consistent communication standards across properties and teams.
How to Configure Quick Replies in UpMarket
- Log into your UpMarket account and click on the first option in the left-side panel: Communications Hub
- Once inside the conversation you want to manage, you will find a book icon at the bottom of the message composer: Open Quick Replies.
- Click the icon and a window will open showing all previously saved Quick Replies organized by categories.
- To add more Quick Replies, click: Manage
There, teams will have two options:
- create new categories
- create Quick Replies and assign them to an existing category
- This allows teams to organize frequently used manual responses inside one centralized shared library.
Faster Operations for Your Team
This functionality is designed to make the human layer of operations more efficient.
Because even in highly automated teams, there will always be conversations where an agent needs to intervene, validate information, or personally respond to a guest.
With Quick Replies, UpMarket helps teams reduce operational time, maintain consistency between agents, and respond faster without losing control over manual communication.
The result is a much more organized, efficient, and scalable operation capable of handling large conversation volumes without depending on improvised replies or repetitive manual processes.
