HL Question

I need to update the automatic message sent by HL/TA giving arrival details once a guest has paid the final balance.

When I set it up there was a template section but I can't find this now. Anyone know how to do this?

Payment for OD booking

Just received my first booking using OD online payment system. Guest has paid with credit card. Just wondered how long will it take to get into my account and whether they keep the bond or do I have to refund it back
