Every Airbnb guest conversation, with booking context

Guests lists the Airbnb conversations for every listing you have connected. Open a conversation to see the thread together with its booking details, its reply mode, and anything waiting for your review.

Conversations that need you carry a pink Review badge. See Escalations and reminders for what it means.

Messages → Service

Your contractors on WhatsApp, in the same app

Service holds the WhatsApp threads with your cleaners and other contractors. Contractors keep using WhatsApp and do not need the Morphic app. Morph sends them turnover requests, reminders, and completion prompts, and records their replies.

Add contractors from Tasks. Cleaning coordination covers the invite, coverage, and task states.

The Messages badge in the sidebar counts items that need you in both tabs.

Labels and filters

See where each guest is in their stay

Each guest conversation shows its current stage, so you can tell at a glance whether you are answering an inquiry or helping someone mid-stay.

Stay stage labels in the guest inbox
LabelMeaning

Filter the list by reply mode with All messages, Autopilot, Copilot, or Manual. Reply modes and review explains each mode.

Automatic translation

Every incoming message, in your language

When a guest or contractor writes in another language, Morphic shows the message translated into your account language (English by default). Translated messages carry a Translated toggle; tap it to switch to Original and back. In Service threads the control reads Show … translation.

  • Translation is always on and never replaces the original, which Morphic keeps as received.
  • Very short messages and emoji-only messages are not translated.
  • Morph understands the guest's language when it drafts, whatever language the guest wrote in.
  • Airbnb replies are sent as written; Airbnb's own translation can show them to the guest in their language.
  • Messages to a contractor go out in the language chosen on their contractor profile.

Settings

Two AI Reply switches: guests and service

Guest messages: open message settings (the gear in Messages) to turn AI Reply on or off and choose the mode for New conversations. New conversations start in Copilot by default.

Service: the Service tab has its own AI Reply switch, which controls all AI replies and scheduling for contractors and service providers. It is on by default.

Turning AI Reply off

It pauses AI drafts and automatic replies. It does not rewrite the mode saved on existing conversations.

FAQ

Inbox and translation questions

Can guests message me on WhatsApp through Morphic?

Guest conversations come from Airbnb. WhatsApp in Morphic is for your contractors and service providers, such as cleaners, and for talking to Morph yourself.

Can I turn automatic translation off?

No. Translation is always on and display-only: the original message is always kept and you can switch to it with Original on any translated message.

Does Morphic translate my replies to guests?

Replies on Airbnb are sent as written, and Airbnb's own translation can show them to the guest in their language. Messages to contractors are sent in the language set on the contractor's profile.

Will old Airbnb messages get AI replies after I connect?

No. Imported history is there for context only and never creates drafts or replies.
