How to set when each moment starts

Each moment's timeframe controls when it starts for your guest, so the right information appears at the right time.

Each moment's timeframe controls when it starts for your guest, so the right information appears at the right time.

What it does

A moment only defines when it starts — it ends automatically when the next moment begins, so moments can never overlap.

How to set it up

  1. Open a moment and select the Timeframe & Access tab.

  2. Under Moment timeframe starts, set the four dropdowns: an amount (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 or 72), a unit (hours or days), a direction (before or after) and an anchor (Invitation, check-in or check-out). Not every dropdown is editable on every moment: only Pre-arrival lets you change all four. Check-in is fixed to before check-in, so you set only the amount and unit. During stay and Check-out are fixed to their anchor (check-in and check-out), so you set the amount, unit and direction. Post-stay always starts right after check-out and can't be changed at all.

  3. Use Reset next to the dropdowns to put a moment back to its default start time.

  4. Select Save Changes.

Good to know

  • Out of the box, Pre-arrival starts 0 hours after Invitation, Check-in 24 hours before check-in, During stay 0 hours after check-in, Check-out 24 hours before check-out, and Post-stay right after check-out — you can change any of these except Post-stay.

  • If check-in or check-out times aren't set on the invitation, Touch Stay uses 15:00 for check-in and 10:00 for check-out.

  • Moment start times are worked out in your property's timezone, and Touch Stay keeps the moments in order — a moment never starts before the one ahead of it.

  • The hint under the dropdowns says what the start time is measured against: your guest's check-in and check-out, the invitation date, or a guest registration form.

Why this is better: Hosts decide exactly when each moment appears instead of guests seeing everything at once.
