Attach files to scheduled messages 

To attach files to messages that are sent by the reservation system when a specific action is triggered in a booking, you need to follow these steps:
💡 Note: Files added will be sent out every time a scheduled message is triggered (it will always be the same file).

1. Go to your left-hand menu and select Inbox.
2. Select the Gear icon, then choose whether you want to add a file to a scheduled message or a quick reply.
3. Once you are in the text editor of the message, click on the attachment icon. A pop-up will open up where you can drag-and-drop or upload your files from your computer.
   💡 Note: The maximum file size that can be attached is 16MB. In case more than one file is attached, the sum of all file sizes cannot exceed 20MB.
   
4. If the file was successfully uploaded, it will show at the bottom of the message. Then Save your changes.
   💡 Note: If you want to delete the uploaded file from the scheduled message, just click on the little x icon at the bottom of the page.
