Say goodbye to scattered OTA conversations
Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com, Agoda and Airbnb play a crucial role in the travel, hospitality, and leisure industries. They help guests find, compare, and book their perfect stay or events. For accommodation providers, they drive bookings, fill up rooms, and expand global reach.
But there’s a catch. With multiple OTAs comes multiple inboxes, masked email addresses, and a flood of guest messages that are hard to track. One guest, one booking, five different email threads. Sound familiar?
This scattered communication doesn’t just frustrate your team. It slows down response times, creates unnecessary work, and leaves guests hanging. And in hospitality, every minute counts. That’s where the right OTA integration becomes not just helpful, but essential.
The OTA jungle
Let’s be honest. The way OTA messaging works today? It’s not built for teams.
Each OTA uses masked email addresses, sending messages through relay systems for guest privacy. While great for security, it creates a communication nightmare on your end. Instead of a clear and unified system, you’re stuck in a maze of disjointed threads.
- A new message from the same guest? New conversation.
- Guest changes dates? Another message. Another ticket.
- A different guest reaches out and mentions the same booking number? Still a new ticket.
This kind of fragmented online travel agency communication forces your agents to dig through inboxes, match reservation numbers, and hope nothing important gets missed. And unfortunately, things do get missed...
Threading that actually works (finally)
Here’s the good news: Trengo’s OTA integration fixes all of that.
We built an OTA messaging solution that doesn’t just collect OTA emails. It understands them.
Using smart threading logic, Trengo AI scans incoming messages from OTA platforms and automatically extracts the reservation number. Every message tied to that booking is grouped into a single conversation thread.
That means:
- One guest = one reservation = one ticket.
- No duplicate messages.
- No digging through inboxes.
- Just one clear view per booking.
Instead of switching between separate inboxes for Booking.com, Airbnb, Agoda, or even activity platforms like Viator and GetYourGuide, your team sees unified OTA messages in one place. This single source of truth allows your agents to focus on delivering great service rather than chasing scattered information.
The impact on your team
Here’s what it looks like in action:
- Keep every reservation in one place: Trengo integrates with Viator and GetYourGuide so you can manage not only hotel stays, but also tours and experiences, without losing sight of a single booking.
- Reply from one inbox: Airbnb conversations flow directly into your central OTA inbox, so you can respond to guests instantly without logging into multiple dashboards.
- Operational clarity: Stop jumping between threads. Every reservation sits neatly in its own ticket.
- Work with full context: With Booking.com and Agoda integrated, your agents can see the entire conversation history tied to a reservation, making responses faster, sharper, and more personal.
- Better guest experience: Guests feel heard through personalised messages and timely replies, which leads to better reviews, higher ratings, and more return stays.
By turning chaos into clarity, Trengo’s OTA messaging solution empowers teams to do more with less. No wasted time, no confused agents, no overlooked requests, just seamless online travel agency communication that feels effortless.
OTAs are an essential part of modern travel. But they shouldn’t make communication harder.
