I emphasize the importance of clarity in communication, stating that all correspondence will remain on the platform, while also providing a plausible reason for needing the email. I outline the steps to set up messaging rules that send requests for email addresses after a booking is made, with follow-ups if the email is not provided. I recommend sending these requests shortly after the reservation is accepted to ensure they are noticed. Please take action by implementing this strategy to capture guest emails effectively.</description></oembed>
