Where you spend your time

Why Travel Agency Sales teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

The travel sales desk connects enquiry routing, source-price research, quote follow-up, accepted-quote handoff, group deposits, and pipeline reporting. The task wall shows the manual work around those stages.

Configure client messages and supplier commitments to wait for advisor approval. A client accepting a quote does not prove that flights, rooms, or activities have been reserved.

What matters to you
  • Every enquiry scored, none lost in the inbox
    Read destination, dates, party size, and budget from connected forms, messages, and adviser-written phone notes.
  • Quotes drafted from rates that are live
    Capture supplier prices with source and check time; the advisor confirms availability and terms before quoting.
  • Quiet quotes chased before a rival books it
    After your follow-up window, draft a trip-specific check-in for advisor approval before sending.
  • Accepted quotes ready for approval
    Prepare booking details and a deposit-invoice draft; the advisor approves commitments before operations takes over.
  • Group deposits tracked name by name
    Match payments to traveller entries and draft targeted reminders for approval, keeping uncertain matches visible.
  • Built around your sales desk
    These are examples of what a travel agency sales agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your desk repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Travel Agency Sales team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A trip enquiry lands as a Jotform submission, a Gmail message, or a WhatsApp text from a client who found you on Instagram, and whoever checks the shared inbox next decides how fast it gets a reply, so a Saturday-morning enquiry can sit until Monday while a competitor already answered it.

    A connected trigger starts the enquiry check, typically within about a minute. The agent then reads the stated destination, dates, and budget, prepares the CRM record, and flags missing details for the advisor.

  • Building the first quote means logging into a tour operator extranet, then a hotel portal, then checking the GDS for flight availability, one screen at a time, for the exact dates a client asked about, before anything can even be priced.

    The desktop agent can read authorised supplier screens and record prices with their source and check time. It drafts options for advisor review; availability remains subject to supplier confirmation.

  • A quote goes out and then nothing, no reply for a week, and the advisor either forgets to follow up between calls or sends the same generic 'just checking in' nudge that a client has already learned to ignore.

    An agent tracks every quote sent, and after five days with no reply drafts a follow-up that names the actual trip, the destination, and the specific hotel quoted, queued for the advisor's one-pass approval.

  • A group booking of ten travellers means ten separate deposit deadlines, and tracking who has paid and who hasn't usually means scrolling a spreadsheet or the CRM by hand while the departure date gets closer.

    An agent compares traveller entries with recorded payments, flags uncertain matches, and drafts reminders for the outstanding names for advisor approval.

Apps

Some of the apps for your Travel Agency Sales team

Some of the travel agency sales apps your agent operates for you. Hundreds more are in the Actionist App Store.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA trip enquiry arrives in a connected intake appfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

Whether it's a Jotform submission, a Gmail message, or a WhatsApp text, the agent reads the enquiry after the next app check, checks it against the destination, dates, party size, and budget the desk actually sells, and creates the contact and deal in HubSpot before an advisor even opens the inbox, so nothing sits unscored.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    210 min / week
    Building a quote from supplier portals by hand

    An advisor logs into a tour operator extranet, then a hotel portal, then checks the GDS, one screen at a time, for the exact dates a client asked about, before a single price can go on the page.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent checks the same portals and drafts two options

    The desktop agent reads authorised supplier screens and records source prices with check times. It prepares two options for advisor approval, leaving availability and fare-rule confirmation to the advisor.

  • Sales
    105 min / week
    Remembering which quotes have gone quiet

    An advisor tries to recall which quotes still haven't had a reply among everything else in the pipeline, and the follow-up that does get sent is usually a generic 'just checking in'.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent tracks every quote and drafts a specific chase

    An agent tracks every quote sent and, after five days of silence, drafts a follow-up that names the actual trip and hotel quoted, queued for the advisor's approval before it sends.

  • Sales
    130 min / week
    Converting an accepted quote into a real booking

    An advisor manually confirms each supplier element, raises the deposit invoice, and writes up a handoff note for operations, usually squeezed in between calls on the day it's accepted.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Accepted-quote packet prepared for approval

    An agent assembles accepted terms, hold deadlines, and a deposit-invoice draft. The advisor approves commitments; operations receives confirmed supplier references and the unresolved items separately.

  • Sales
    90 min / week
    Tracking who's paid on a group booking

    An advisor scrolls a spreadsheet or the CRM to check which of ten or twenty travellers on a group booking have paid their individual deposit, usually the week the deadline is close.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent checks per-traveller status and names the gaps

    An agent checks each traveller's deposit status against the booking record daily and flags exactly which names are still outstanding, not the group as a whole.

  • Sales
    75 min / week
    Pulling together the weekly pipeline numbers

    A desk manager counts enquiries, quotes sent, and conversions per advisor by hand from the CRM at the end of the week to know whether the desk is keeping up with demand.

    Agent tallies the pipeline and flags what's slipping

    An agent tallies enquiries, quotes, and conversions per advisor automatically and flags any advisor whose conversion rate or reply time has slipped, posted every Friday.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent touching client budgets, supplier rates, and deposit money only earns its place if you stay in control of what it does. Configure the agent so you see every quote before it sends, approve every booking action, and own the record of exactly what happened.

Client quotes and follow-ups wait for approval

Every quote, follow-up, and booking confirmation drafted for a client queues for an advisor's sign-off first. Nothing reaches a client on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.

Keep bookings and money behind your review

Configure supplier commitments, invoice sends, refunds, and payment actions to require approval. The agent can prepare records and drafts; the advisor decides terms and confirms availability before any binding action.

A logged trail of every quote and booking

Review tool results with source links, price check times, and supplier references on the booking. An accepted quote is not confirmed inventory; require supplier evidence before marking an element confirmed.

Limit access to the records this job needs

Limit access to required enquiry and booking fields. Keep passport and sensitive traveller details out of sales prompts unless approved. Check model-provider terms and runtime settings before using live data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my sales desk need to be technical to use this?
Describe the task as you would brief a new advisor: which trip details to record and when to draft a quiet-quote follow-up. App setup varies: some connections use a sign-in flow, others need permissions or API keys, and a supplier portal may require tested desktop access. Start with sample enquiries in Ask each time mode and check each connection before relying on it.
How do I get started?
Bring a sample trip enquiry, quote template, and your desk's handoff checklist to a free demo. Begin with logging enquiries and drafting quiet-quote follow-ups in Ask each time mode. Review the outputs before adding supplier-price checks or accepted-quote preparation.
How do I make a customised AI agent for something specific to how we sell trips?
The agents and jobs on this page are examples of what AI agents for travel agency sales teams can automate, not a limit on what's possible. If your desk has its own way of handling a corporate RFP, a particular consortia's booking process, or a report only your desk manager cares about, you describe the job like a brief and Actionist builds a custom agent around your actual process and tools.
How quickly can I get Actionist set up?
Start by mapping a sample enquiry into your CRM and producing an unsent quote outline. Connect the inbox and CRM, define the trip types you sell, and test missing dates, an expired rate, and a duplicate enquiry. Setup depends on supplier access and review requirements; add quote sends and booking preparation after the advisor signs off those tests.
Our clients hand over budgets and sometimes passport details when they enquire. How is that data kept safe?
Keep sales intake to the destination, dates, party size, and budget where possible. Grant access only to the CRM records and booking folders needed for the task, and check your selected model provider's data terms and runtime settings before sharing traveller information. Self-hosting the runtime does not make external model processing disappear; passport and sensitive traveller details need a separate access decision.
Our supplier extranets and GDS have no API at all. Can the agent still build a quote from them?
The desktop agent can read and operate accessible supplier screens subject to your permissions and the supplier's controls. Test the exact lookup first and keep it read-only while checking results. Hotel portals, GDS interfaces, and tour systems differ; screen access does not bypass authentication or guarantee a reservation. The advisor still verifies fares, terms, and availability before quoting.
Will the agent ever send a quote or a follow-up to a client without an advisor seeing it first?
Choose Ask each time for quotes, follow-ups, supplier commitments, and payment-related actions. The advisor reviews the exact draft and decides whether it should send. Approval Modes can grant broader autonomy, so preserve explicit limits around prices, reservations, refunds, and traveller information when changing the agent's settings.
Enquiry volume doubles during peak booking season. Can the agent actually keep up?
The agent can process repeatable intake work and flag a backlog, but throughput depends on app access, research depth, and review time. Trigger pickup can take about a minute; it is not a promise that every enquiry is fully handled in that time. Test a peak-season sample and keep an advisor responsible for expiring holds and unanswered cases.
We handle corporate accounts that send formal requests for proposal. Can the agent help with those?
Yes. An agent can gather group rates across your relevant suppliers for the dates and headcount specified, build a first-pass costed itinerary, and draft it into a proposal document, leaving the advisor to refine the pricing and terms before it's submitted. It's the same drafting-then-approval pattern as any other quote, just built for a formal RFP instead of a walk-in enquiry.
