How to answer an application

Once you receive an application, you can go to your inbox to read it. Remember to check the traveler’s full profile, the position, and the dates they applied for.

You can answer in 3 different ways:

→ Pre-approve: use it when you’re sure you want to host the traveler.

→ Write back: send a message to get to know the traveler better.

→ Decline: if you’re not interested in receiving the traveler.

Have in mind that most travelers have flexible dates, so instead of declining someone because of availability, you can pre-approve them for different dates by clicking on “Suggest other dates”.

You can exchange as many messages as you want with the traveler, but you have 4 days to send the first message. If you don’t answer in 4 days or less, the application expires.

When you’re sure you want to receive the traveler:

1. Click on “Pre-approval”. Change the dates if you have to;
   
2. The traveler will receive the pre-approval message and they’ll be able to confirm the trip.
