Why Yada
Built to bring guests back, and to prove it
The parts of Yada that matter most for repeat direct bookings.
One send checkpoint
Every email, SMS and WhatsApp message passes consent, suppression lists, cooldowns and quiet hours before it sends.
Never offers a taken date
Win-backs and upsells check your calendar first, so guests only see dates that are actually open.
Attributed direct bookings
See which campaigns, journeys, signals and loyalty touches led to a direct booking, with a clearly stated 7-day and 30-day window.
One guest, every source
Matches guests across PMS stays, OTA relay emails, your website widget and CSV imports, with dedupe and merge.
Loyalty built in
A guest portal, point rules and in-widget redemption, connected to your journeys.
AI drafts, you approve
Brand-voice drafts for every message. Approve each one, or turn on auto-send within the caps you set.
