🧠Automated Request Routing by Department Is Now Live
The right request reaches the right team automatically.
As guest volumes grow, manually deciding where each request should go slows teams down and increases the risk of mistakes.
With this release, Butler AI introduces automated request routing by department — ensuring every guest request is sent to the most appropriate team without manual intervention.
Hotels can now:
- Create hotel-specific departments such as Housekeeping, Kitchen, Maintenance, Concierge, Spa, or any custom operational team
- Assign one or more WhatsApp numbers to each department, so notifications reach the correct staff instantly
- Let AI intelligently match guest requests to the best-suited department based on the request type and description
When a guest sends a request, Butler AI analyses both the service category and the message content, then automatically routes it to the most relevant department configured for that hotel.
This removes the need for front desk teams to manually triage requests, forward messages, or decide who should handle what — especially during busy periods.
The impact on operations is immediate:
- Faster response times to guest requests
- Clear ownership from the moment a request is created
- Fewer internal handoffs and follow-ups
- More consistent service across all departments
Because departments and WhatsApp numbers are fully configurable per hotel, this feature adapts to your existing workflows rather than forcing a new one.
Automated request routing works seamlessly alongside staff assignment notifications, giving teams full visibility while reducing operational friction.
