Automating digital check-in means guests receive the information, links, and instructions they need automatically as their stay date approaches — without a staff member manually sending each message. In **Jestor**, this combines native **WhatsApp** automation with embedded content directly inside forms or messages.

Manual check-in coordination doesn't scale well past a handful of properties — the same instructions, sent slightly differently by whoever happens to handle it that day, create an inconsistent guest experience.

## What manual check-in coordination costs

- Staff manually sending check-in instructions for every single booking
- Inconsistent information depending on who handles the message
- No automatic trigger tied to the actual check-in date approaching
- Guests having to ask for basic information that should have been sent proactively

## How automated digital check-in works

- Automations trigger check-in messages automatically as the stay date approaches
- **WhatsApp** templates keep instructions consistent across every booking
- **Embedded blocks** can include live content — a map link, a scheduling tool — directly in the message or form
- Guests can access self-service check-in information without waiting on staff

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automated triggers remove the manual sending step entirely
- WhatsApp templates ensure every guest gets the same, consistent instructions
- Embedded content keeps everything guests need in one message
- Scales the same way whether it's 5 properties or 500
