How It Works
Receive a Dedicated Number
We’ll assign you a dedicated phone number with your local area code so texts don’t go to your business or personal phone number. Or transfer an existing number of your choice to receive texts.
Set Up Your Team
Create your Team Page to make sure each team member sees every text message and reply. Set up office hours and an automatic out-of-office message so vacation rental guests know when they can expect a reply.
Use a Unified Text Inbox
The Unified Text Inbox saves all messages from guests, homeowners, vendors and potential guests as well as staff replies so your team knows when messages are answered. Besides speeding up response time, it prevents double responses, improves customer service and stores every message and reply.

Smart Features That Make A Big Difference
Rental Software Integration
RueBaRue integrates with popular vacation rental software. This allows us to import guest reservations and match the guest name, rental unit and arrival and departure dates when you receive a message so you don’t need to look anything up.
Use Our Guest Dashboard
This vital feature gives you a view of all your guest bookings such as guest name, arrival and departure dates, phone number, email and door codes. From this dashboard, you can communicate with guests via text message and re-send digital guestbooks, guest satisfaction surveys, 5 star review filters and social media campaigns.
Get A Unified Text Inbox
The Unified Text Inbox saves all messages from guests, owners, vendors and leads and staff responses so no question goes unanswered. This facilitates rapid replies, prevents duplicate responses and enhances customer service. Everything is stored so you have a compete record of all text correspondence.
Receive A Dedicated Texting Number
Your vacation rental business gets a dedicated texting number with your local area code to send and receive text messages from guests, owners, vendors and leads. This means texts don't come in on your personal or business phone.

"This is, quite simply, the tool you need. We adopted it as a way to facilitate contactless check-in and cannot imagine operations without it. A must.
My guestbooks and information now go out automatically by text and email at a pre-scheduled time. They look neat and professional and are super functional. I like that the platform can be customized to match my company colors and logo. Guest feedback has been great!
I LOVE how easy the software is to use. It makes sense, it flows and it's very easy for our guests to receive the informaiton they need by email and text. It has cut my job in half!
