  • Celebrations - Birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions during the stay
Current reservations are automatically expanded when you open the profile.

  2. Selecting the edit option from the context menu
  3. Making your changes and saving

Quick Actions

From the guest profile, you can quickly:

Add a Note

Click the + button to add preferences, nuggets, or celebrations

View Related Notes

Jump to Hurdles

Click the Hurdles stat card to scroll directly to open issues

See Wow Moments

Click the Wows stat card to view all special moments recorded

Syncing with Your PMS

This feature is available for Managers, Hotel Admins, and Admins only.
If your property uses an integrated PMS (Property Management System), you can manually sync reservation data:
  1. Open a guest profile with a current reservation
  2. Click the sync button (rotating arrows icon) in the Stay History header
  3. Wait for the sync to complete
  4. The page will refresh with updated information

Merging Duplicate Profiles

Profile merging happens automatically when your PMS sends merge events. ABRA preserves all data from both profiles during a merge.
When duplicate profiles are merged:
  • All reservations are consolidated to the surviving profile
  • Preferences, notes, celebrations, and hurdles are transferred
  • Wow moments and touchpoints are preserved
  • The duplicate profile is archived
If you notice duplicate guest profiles that have not been automatically merged, contact your system administrator or check your PMS for profile merge options.
