AI Booking Follow-Up and Consent Rules

Separate service reminders from promotional outreach and automated AI calls.

Educational information only. Verify current operator terms, eligibility, pricing and applicable legal requirements before acting.

What to know before you decide

01

Classify each message

A requested booking update serves a different purpose from an upsell, recruiting message or general promotion.

02

Capture permission explicitly

Where required, collect separate affirmative consent for marketing texts, calls and AI/artificial voice contact, with clear disclosures and records.

03

Honor opt-outs and audit delivery

Maintain suppression lists, avoid duplicate sends and route sensitive changes to human review.

04

Separate service from marketing

A requested booking status update differs from a promotional message or recruitment outreach. Classify each template by purpose and channel, and review applicable consent requirements before sending. Explicitly disclose automated or AI/artificial-voice calling where legally required; a general inquiry checkbox should not be treated as unlimited permission.

05

Build an auditable opt-out flow

Store the consent wording, time, source, channel and current withdrawal status. Prevent duplicates, honor suppression lists and stop future promotional messages when a person opts out. Escalate delivery errors and uncertain contact preferences to a human. Test the flow before enabling any live outbound automation.
