Find out where they are trying to open the link from
If they are trying to open it from the OTA inbox i.e. Booking.com, ask them to check the email that they’ve used on Booking.com for the pre-stay email.

Once the client has found the email they can simply check in online using the link on the email.

If your client cannot find the email in their inbox, you can advise them to check their spam box. Sometimes email providers archive emails from big corporations and these end up in the spam inbox.
In some OTA channels you will need to select an option to redirect emails to your guest's email address i.e. Airbnb.
