What to automate in your hosting workflow

Start with repetitive information that can be checked and kept current. Leave a clear path to a person when a guest needs a judgement call.

Useful starting points

• Booking acknowledgements and routine preparation information.
• Arrival directions and check-in instructions at the agreed time.
• Checkout reminders and cleaner changeover information.

Review before switching on

Check dates, access details, parking instructions and property-specific information. Consider what happens when a booking changes or is cancelled. Avoid including sensitive access information earlier than necessary.

Keep people responsible

Complaints, refunds, safety concerns and unusual requests need clear ownership. AI-assisted drafts should be reviewed where accuracy or a decision matters.

Start small

Introduce one workflow, check what guests receive and review exceptions before expanding. Automation is useful when it reduces repetitive work without hiding problems from the owner.
