Are client records created automatically from bookings, and do notes carry over season to season?
Yes, client records are created automatically the moment someone books. Keep long-term details (preferences, past issues, guide notes) on the client record so they carry over every season — booking-level notes stay tied to that one trip only.
Yes — client records are created automatically from bookings in Mallard Bay.
When someone books, their contact/client info is tied into the CRM-style client record so you can reference them later for repeat trips, outreach, and booking history.
For notes carrying over season to season:
- Notes attached to the client record are the best place for information you want to keep long-term — preferences, past issues, guide notes, lodging notes, etc.
- Notes attached only to a specific booking stay with that booking, so they’re useful for trip-specific details but may not be the best place for recurring client info.
- If you want something to follow the guest year after year, put it on the client record rather than only on the booking.
So the workflow I’d recommend is: use booking notes for this trip, and client notes for anything you want your team to remember next season
