# Answer Civitatis customer messages with AI drafts

> Unread Civitatis traveler questions get drafts that use the real booking, date and meeting point. You approve each one before it is sent.

Travelers write the night before: where exactly do we meet, can a 6-year-old join, does the boat go out if it rains. The questions sit in the Civitatis provider panel until someone logs in, and the answer often depends on which booking it is.

Cotlet does it in your own Civitatis account with list\_messages, get\_booking and send\_message, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

## Can Civitatis do this on its own?

Civitatis has no supplier API (checked 12 Oct 2026). Messages with travelers and the booking department live only in the provider panel, and connected booking systems sync bookings and availability, not conversations.

By hand

## How you do it in Civitatis today

1. Log in to the Civitatis provider panel; contact with customers and with the Civitatis booking department both happen there.
2. Open each unread conversation and find the booking it belongs to, to see the activity, date, start time and group size.
3. Write the answer by hand, copying the meeting point and conditions from the activity listing, and repeat for the next traveler.
4. Requests to change a date or cancel are not the supplier's call: Civitatis manages cancellations, and only private services can change date, through the contact form on the Civitatis website.
5. The pain is timing: questions arrive in the evening and on weekends, and an unanswered one the day before a tour turns into a no-show or a complaint.

With an agent

## How to answer Civitatis customer messages with AI drafts

Prompt

```
Twice a day, read unread Civitatis messages, draft answers from the booking details and our meeting point notes, and show me the drafts before anything is sent.
```

1. 01  
### Pick up only what is waiting  
list\_messages with unread\_only returns the threads that need an answer. The agent sorts them by the activity date of their booking, not by when they arrived, so tomorrow's travelers come first.
2. 02  
### Read the booking behind each question  
get\_booking gives the activity, date, start time and group size. A question about kids on a booking for two adults gets a different draft than one on a family booking, and a question about a tour that already happened is flagged instead of answered.
3. 03  
### Answer from your notes, not from guesses  
Drafts use the meeting point and rules you give the agent once. When a question needs something the agent does not know, such as a rain decision or an exception for a dog, the draft says so and leaves the line for you.
4. 04  
### Route date changes and refunds to Civitatis  
Travelers cannot move a booked date themselves, so a request to change day or get money back is drafted to the booking department with to set to civitatis, with the booking reference, and the traveler gets a short note that it was passed on.
5. 05  
### Send only what you approved  
Each send\_message call waits for your OK. You can edit a draft, approve a batch, or skip a thread so it stays unread in the panel.

### What you get back

Example data

```
5 unread threads, 4 drafts ready
CIV-702154 Sofia Lindqvist, bike tour Tue 10:00: meeting point question, answered from your notes
CIV-702201 Omar Haddad, cruise Sat 18:00: asks to bring a 5-year-old, draft says yes with child life jacket
CIV-701875 Julia Weber: wants to move to Sunday, draft to the Civitatis booking department
CIV-702230 Ken Sato: asks if the tour runs in heavy rain, left for you
Skipped: CIV-699120, tour was on 2 Oct, flagged as a possible complaint
```

### Other ways to ask

- Every morning at 8:00, answer only messages about today's and tomorrow's tours.
- Show me every unread message from the Civitatis booking department, with the booking it is about.
- Draft a reminder with the meeting point to everyone booked on Saturday's sunset cruise.

Before you automate it

## What Civitatis allows, and what to know first

- Civitatis says dates and start times are fixed by the supplier and cannot be changed by the traveler, except private services, which are requested through the Civitatis contact form.
- Under the Civitatis general conditions, a traveler with a complaint must first complain to the supplier who provided the service, and the provider panel is where suppliers manage complaints.
- Civitatis is not responsible for the weather in which a supplier runs an activity, and an activity carried out in bad weather counts as carried out correctly.
- Each Civitatis activity has its own cancellation policy, shown to the traveler in the activity description and in the confirmation email, and Civitatis manages the cancellations.

send\_message asks for your OK by default. To run it daily without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
