Marketing Autopilot and segments deep dive

Short answer: Taybl Marketing (called “Auto Pilot” in the product) fires email campaigns automatically off real guest events — no separate CRM, no list to import — because it shares the same guest data as Bookings.

Why it matters

The booking data that could bring guests back usually sits in a system that was never built to talk to a mailing list. Every campaign here targets guests who have actually walked through your door.

What it does

Auto Pilot triggers

Campaigns fire off real lifecycle events: first visit completed, guest became a regular, guest became VIP, birthday/anniversary upcoming, negative feedback received, and more.

Smart segments, built live

Filter guests by last-visit recency, lifetime visits, tags, average party size, lead time, or your "lapsed"/"regular" thresholds — recalculated every time, never a stale list.

Drag-and-drop email builder

Professional templates via an embedded design editor, with merge tags to personalise each send.

One-off or scheduled campaigns

Send now, send a test, or schedule ahead; targeted at a segment or your whole consented list.

Conversion tracking

Track from email sent through to guest seated, with revenue attributed to the campaign within a 14-day window.

Consent built in, not bolted on

Every send is limited to guests with explicit email consent, with one-click unsubscribe on every email.

What it costs

Monthly fee £39 per venue, up to 1,000 contacts
Per 500 extra contacts £10
Requires Bookings Yes — uses the same guest data
SMS channel Not currently offered
Team members Unlimited, every plan

Accuracy notes

Marketing is email-only right now — no SMS channel exists yet. There’s no automation literally named “win-back”; a lapsed-guest win-back is built by combining the “lapsed” segment filter with a scheduled or automated send. Revenue attribution is directional, not exact — we call it “attributed revenue,” not precise tracking.
