Automate WhatsApp & Instagram for Your Homestay with ZapUp

Reels of the mountain-view room go viral, then every DM asks 'date available? price?' while the host is out buying groceries.

Quick answer

ZapUp answers Instagram DM and comment enquiries about room availability and tariff automatically, checks your calendar, collects check-in dates and guest count, and sends a payment link to lock the advance before the host even opens the chat.

Watch it handle a real conversation

The demo on the right is the exact kind of exchange your homestay gets every day — answered, qualified, and booked without you touching the phone.

The four automations that do the work

Availability Check

Checks the host's calendar against requested dates and instantly tells guests which rooms are free before they lose interest.

Tariff & Meal Plan Quote

Shares per-night pricing with breakfast or meal options based on guest count and room type, no manual copy-paste replies.

Advance Payment Link

Sends a payment link for the booking advance and confirms the reservation only after the amount is received.

Check-in Directions & Reminder

Sends the address, landmark and check-in time a day before arrival so guests don't call for directions at midnight.

The Instagram side

Discovery happens on Instagram — ZapUp runs both

A reel of the sunset view or breakfast spread pulls in comment enquiries; ZapUp turns those comments and DMs into WhatsApp conversations that end in a confirmed, paid booking.

Before you ask

Can I automate WhatsApp bookings for my homestay?

Yes — ZapUp answers availability and tariff questions, collects check-in dates and guest count, and sends a payment link, all inside WhatsApp and Instagram DMs. You still approve unusual requests yourself.

Will guests feel like they're talking to a bot?

Replies use your own tone and pricing, so most guests just get quick, accurate answers. You can jump into any chat at any time if a guest needs something the automation can't handle.

What happens if a guest cancels after paying the advance?

ZapUp only handles the booking conversation and payment link — your cancellation and refund policy stays exactly as you set it, and you decide each refund manually.

Every unanswered message is a customer someone else got
