Introduction – What does this module do for me?

The Weekly Program module helps you digitally communicate all activities to your guests. Guests can independently register for events – with or without logging into the system. This creates a modern, contactless experience – directly integrated into your Guestnet platform.


Feature Overview

These functions are available in the Weekly Program module:

  • Weekly schedule with calendar or list view

  • Activities with categories (including color and icon)

  • Custom fields for activities, e.g., “Meeting point” or “Guide”

  • Registrations with waiting list, price indication, participant limit, and export function

  • Registration form with individual fields

  • Highlight markings for important activities

  • Intermediate elements for structuring (e.g., recommendations)

  • Recurring appointments for repeat events

  • Multilingual content

  • Online payment (optional)

  • Link to guest account (if available)

  • Filter options for guests

  • Automatic reminder emails to guests (optional)

  • “Hide past activities” function

  • Date range configuration (e.g., visible +14 / +30 / +60 days)

  • Integration of the content via widget on other channels, for example the hotel website.


Settings

Go to:
Settings > Settings to activate the following functions:

  • Hide past activities in guest app:
    Expired events are hidden and not grayed out.

  • Waiting list for registrations:
    If activated, the waiting list is active for all activities with a maximum participant limit.

  • Send reminder email to participants before start:
    Participants receive an automatic email containing all information about the upcoming activity.

  • Notification:
    It can be selected whether registrations are always sent to the business immediately or as a summary after registration closes. A combination of both notifications is also possible.

  • Limit date range:
    Either one week or in two-week increments, it is possible to limit the date range so guests cannot browse too far into the future if no data has been entered yet. This prevents guests from seeing empty content.
    There are four limit periods: 7, 14, 30, or 60 days.

If the button is green, the function is active.
If it’s gray, the function is inactive.


Categories

To add more categories that can be selected per activity and help guests orient themselves, go to:
Settings > Categories

A window opens where existing categories can be edited or deleted. Add a new category with “+ New Category”.

When editing or creating a category, you can:

  • Define the category name in multiple languages

  • Assign a color to visually distinguish activities by category – also in the printed version of the weekly program.


Already created categories appear in the configuration area on the right side when creating or editing an activity. An entry can be assigned to one or more categories.


Show Only

With the “Show Only” function, you can display only certain categories in the weekly program without showing the bar with the other categories.

How it works:

  • Find category ID: Each category has its own ID.

  • Adjust link: Add the ID of the desired category in the link, e.g.:

    ​https://professional.guest.net/activity-calendar?showonlycategories=1228

    (The number “1228” represents the ID of the desired category.)

  • Multiple categories: To show multiple categories, separate the IDs with a comma, e.g.:

    https://professional.guest.net/activity-calendar?showonlycategories=1228,1229

This allows you to selectively show only the categories relevant to you.


List/Calendar view

In the list view, the entered activities are clearly listed.

You can switch to the calendar view via the button at the top right. In the calendar view, activities can be moved to another day by drag & drop.


Search activities

In the search field, you can quickly find already entered activities. Additionally, filtering by categories is possible.

Found activities can be edited, duplicated, or deleted directly.


Edit activity

To edit an existing activity, click on the three-dot icon on the right of the desired activity.

A small window with three options opens. Choose the edit icon next to "Activity".

The activity opens, and you can make the desired changes.

If you want to edit only a single appointment, please use the "Edit appointment" function.


FAQ about the module

Must the guest be registered to use the module?

Logging into the system is not required – guests can register for activities without a login.
However, if a guest is not logged in, the booked activity will not appear under “My Stay”.

Note: If it has been specified in the main menu that the module is only visible to logged-in guests, it can only be viewed by registered users.

Are the data stored?

Yes, all information is viewable in the backend and – if available – linked to the guest account.

How can I integrate the weekly programme widget into my website?
