    ​

  • New content:

    If you want to add custom content. Here you can freely add background color, title color, image, image placement, and text. You can format the text similarly to how you would in a Word document: font size, text color, left/right alignment, etc.
    Then click "Save".

    You can choose between a large and a small box. The weather forecast is then automatically updated to the set date.

    If you’d like to add saved daily quotes, sayings or similar content, you can select them here. Please note that a random piece of content will always be displayed. In the next step, you can choose the background colour, title colour, image and image placement according to your preferences.

  • Custom content:

    If you want to add your own previously created content, select:

    • The category

    • Decide whether a random or specific content from the selected category should appear
      ​

  • Content from Guestnet:

    If you want to add content from other Guestnet modules such as spa treatments, bike tours, etc.
    Once you've added a content box, you can add, edit, and arrange as many other content boxes as you wish.
    You can arrange the content boxes by defining the desired position in the top left corner of each box.
    ​

    You can view the Italian and English versions of the Morning mail by clicking “it” or “en” in the top left. Translations will be automatically adopted if they have been stored in Guestnet beforehand.
    ​

Publish via the “Publish in Guestnet” button – the Morning mail will then be published at 00:00 or on the predetermined time on the defined date for all guests.
​
