Communication Platform

This release introduces unified branded email, automatic notifications, inbound conversations, and payment communication.

Email And Notifications

  • Organizations now send consistently branded email using their name, logo, colors, and managed reply address.
  • Operators can enable or disable automatic emails by notification type and outcome.
  • Templates are organized by purpose, outcome, and language, with usable system defaults and organization overrides.
  • English, Hebrew, Mongolian, German, French, Spanish, and Arabic are supported. English is used when a tour or traveler language cannot be matched.
  • Action buttons can appear naturally inside the message and include a visible link fallback.

Join Requests

  • Travelers receive the right confirmation after submission: awaiting tour confirmation, payment required, or no payment required.
  • Approved travelers receive a separate message with links to complete traveler details.
  • Approval creates or links traveler records and applies submitted rooming information.
  • Partner rooming imports remain separate and do not send join-request emails.

Payment Collection

  • Payment reminder controls are consolidated with notification settings.
  • Operators can configure reminders before, on, and after the due date, including repeat cadence and count.
  • Multiple overdue installments produce one current reminder for the total amount, not a burst of historical messages.
  • Enabling reminders does not replay stale before-due or due-date emails.
  • Manual sale amendments can be edited or removed, with payment schedules reconciled afterward.
  • Operators can cancel an affected active payment link and tell the payer to restart from the payment page.
  • Late settlements and overpayments remain represented accurately in the sale ledger.
  • Checkout cannot request more than the remaining sale balance.
  • The payment page clearly shows when another scheduled payment is not yet due.

Inbound Email And Conversations

  • Each tour has a reply address that can be copied and shared for tour correspondence.
  • Email that cannot be matched safely is placed in an unallocated inbox for review.
  • Operators can Reply or Reply All directly from an email in the Operations room.
  • Meaningful attachments can be reviewed and added to the tour vault; common inline and signature images are excluded where identifiable.
  • Temporary inbound files and completed processing records follow defined retention periods.

Mail Visibility

  • Mail history helps operators track sent communication.
  • A separate diagnostics view highlights delivery and processing problems that need attention.
  • Hotel outreach uses organization branding and language settings, and its send window closes after successful queueing.

Monitoring And Operations

  • Weather wind speed is displayed in kilometres per hour.
  • Monitoring alerts can escalate, resolve, and recur while preserving their lifecycle history.
  • Monitoring notices appear in Trip Health and the Operations room, with optional WhatsApp delivery where configured.
  • Organization-wide operations tasks can send due-soon and overdue reminders to assigned users.

Settings

  • Notification controls, languages, templates, and payment reminder timing are available through unified settings.
  • Obsolete mail-profile and arbitrary-template selection controls have been removed.
  • Notification email resources are available for direct template review and editing.
