Cendra’s Agent Hub is the central configuration interface for creating and managing AI agents. Each agent has its own identity, tone, working mode, and set of rules — giving you granular control over how AI handles guest communication for different properties or scenarios.
Creating an Agent
- Navigate to Agent Hub → Agents
- Click Create Agent
- Configure the agent’s identity:
- Agent name — a descriptive name (e.g., “Guest Support Agent”, “Owner Communication”)
- Active status — toggle to activate or deactivate the agent
Agent Configuration Tabs
Each agent has 6 configuration tabs:
| Tab | What it controls |
|---|
| General | Agent identity, custom instructions, tone, signature |
| AI Rules | Safety guardrails and behavioral restrictions |
| Tools | Response language, AI capabilities, automation toggles |
| Settings | Working mode, schedule, response timing, scope |
| Tags | Conversation categorization with escalation levels |
| Escalations | Rules for when to hand off to humans |
Navigate to Agent Hub → Agents to manage your AI agents: https://app.cendra.ai/agents
General
Custom Instructions
Define how your AI agent should behave — its personality, communication style, and constraints. This is a free-text field where you describe what the agent should do and how.
Tone Selection
Choose from 8 built-in tone templates:
| Tone | Style |
|---|
| Professional | Business-appropriate, clear, and courteous |
| Friendly | Warm, approachable, conversational |
| Formal | Structured, respectful, traditional |
| Casual | Relaxed, informal, natural |
| Technical | Precise, detailed, informative |
| Conversational | Natural flow, engaging, personable |
| Empathetic | Understanding, supportive, caring |
| Assertive | Confident, direct, action-oriented |
You can also create a custom tone by describing your preferred style and adding extra instructions.
Signature
Append a custom signature to every AI-generated message — useful for branding or compliance.
Response Language
Choose from 90+ languages for AI responses. Options include:
- Match Customer Language (default) — AI responds in whatever language the guest writes in
- Any specific language — English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Portuguese, and 80+ more
AI Capabilities
Toggle these features on or off per agent:
| Capability | What it does |
|---|
| Search Internet | AI can access weather, local recommendations, directions, and events |
| Search Availability | AI can check property availability and booking status |
| Suggest Alternative Listings | AI recommends other properties when the requested one is unavailable |
Auto Mark as Done
When enabled, Cendra automatically marks conversations as resolved after the AI responds successfully.
Settings
Working Mode
Control when and how the AI responds:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|
| 24/7 Autopilot | AI responds at all hours, fully autonomous |
| Semi-Auto | AI drafts responses for human review before sending |
| Business Hours | AI responds only during configured working hours |
| Custom Schedule | Set specific days and time windows for AI responses |
Response Timing
Fine-tune response behavior:
- Response delay — 0 to 10 minutes before the AI responds (makes responses feel more natural)
- Cool-off period — minimum wait time between consecutive AI messages (0 to 10 minutes)
Timezone
- Match Property Timezone (default) — AI uses each property’s timezone for scheduling
- Manual selection — choose from 500+ IANA timezones
Reservation Status Filter
Select which booking stages trigger AI responses:
| Status | Description |
|---|
| Inquiry | Guest has inquired but not booked |
| Follow-up | Awaiting guest response |
| Confirmed | Booking confirmed |
| Arriving in 2 days | Guest arriving soon |
| Check-in today | Arrival day |
| Check-in tomorrow | Day before arrival |
| Currently hosting | Guest is currently staying |
| Check-out today | Departure day |
| Post-stay | After checkout |
| Expired | Booking expired |
Property Assignment
Assign the agent to specific properties, or leave empty to handle all properties in the workspace.
