An announcement is a special card in the app that catches a guest's attention. It consists of a title, nickname, and body. Optionally, you can attach a Call to Action (CTA) to navigate the guest to a specific part of the app or web.
The use of metafields is allowed in the title, body, and the CTA Url.
If meta fields are used and the announcement is shown through the public section, reservation-connected meta fields will default to their default value.
To facilitate all kinds of announcements, we have split them up into types. Below is a list of all types and their purposes.
Amenity
It is connected to a specific amenity and guides the guest through a CTA.
Guidebook
It is connected to a specific guidebook and guides the guest through a CTA to that guidebook.
Experience
It is connected to a specific experience and guides the guest through a CTA to that experience.
Native Browser
Guides the guest to an external page. The user is moved outside the app into a natvie browser on the mobile version.
In App Browser
Guides the guest to an external page. The mobile app opens a modal; in the web version, this opens a page within the default browser.
Wifi
This gives the user special information/instructions about the wifi. The CTA button connects the user automatically to the Wifi.
Generic
This generic card displays a title and a body to the guest.
All announcements have an nicknamethis helps you internally identiy what the announcement is for.
It is connected to a specific guidebook and guides the guest through a CTA to that guidebook. Announcements can be dismissed, meaning that certain announcements can be closed by the guest. Each announcement has a dismissable toggle that determines if the guest is able to close the announcement.
Dismissing announcements are only available in non-public reservation stages.
Dismissed announcements cannot be retrieved by the guest and not reinstated by the operator.
Announcements are colored by the branding setting. To make them stand out, we alter between colors.

The card it self is a gradient from the base90 color to the card-evenor the card-oddcolor.
2
The dismissable button background is a base30with a base colored icon.
3
The text is the on-base color
4
The CTA has the secondary background color and the on-secondary color.
See the branding appearance for more details on the colors and color variants generation.
You can connect resources like experiences, guidebooks, and amenities with announcements. Once a resource is deleted, the connected announcement will also be automatically deleted.
