Automation
Why waste time with tasks you can automate?
Minimize your workload by eliminating repetitive tasks
With Hostfully’s automation capabilities, you can streamline your most repetitive tasks that take up your team’s time. Use templates and triggers that are easy to set-up, or connect third-party short-term rental software (i.e.: cleaning, pricing, insurance, etc.) to do the heavy lifting.

Get to know Hostfully’s automation capabilities
Automate payments
Reduce wasted time invoicing and chasing payments. You will be able to automate security deposit reception and refunds, split payments according to your cancellation policy and get notified when payments succeed or fail.
Automate messaging
Guest messaging is a huge part of the booking process and guest experience. With our Property Management Platform, you can automate up to 70% of them. Simply create templates and set up a sequence of customized messages to be sent out to guests at any stage of their booking process via the use of complex triggers. Messages can be sent out via SMS, email, or booking platform.
Automate pricing
A fixed nightly rate is a great way to lose potential revenue. Hostfully’s platform integrates with a variety of dynamic pricing tools to help you automatically adjust your prices based on market supply, demand, seasonal trends, events, historical pricing, predictions and more.
Automate check-in
Using automated messaging, you can provide your guests with all the information they need for a smooth arrival and check-in at your location. First, send travelers a pre-check-in form to quickly gather their information. Before they make their way over, share self-check-in instructions, and even custom PIN codes for door locks unique to each reservation. Hostfully’s Property Management Platform makes this process much easier by integrating with our Digital Guidebooks.
Automate reviews
It’s a hassle to ask your guests for reviews and to also review them. Our automation capabilities allow you to create message templates to remind your guests to leave you a review after they’ve checked out. You can also fully automate your Airbnb reviews with our Hostfully Property Management Platform.
Automate reporting
Create simple or complex reports with data collected through your reservations, making tasks such as month-end reporting, owner payouts, and fees tracking a breeze. Formulas for calculations are easy to set up and with just a few clicks, you can have the information you need, in a way that’s easy to understand and analyze.
Our customers say it best
Find out why our clients love working with us
Hostfully has lots of great features at a fairly affordable price compared to other softwares. The onboarding was excellent and the customer service may be the best part about it. The enhanced reporting is what made me switch to Hostfully, it has saved me tons of time on the back end billing home owners.
Austin P, Turquoise Antler Short Term Rentals
Hostfully has a wide range of integrations with other technology software companies that we want to work with. Their “pipeline management “ functionality makes it super easy to get a quick understanding of all bookings and inquiries across all listings. On top of that, they have one of the best customer support teams that we’ve seen.
Jasper Ribbers, Overnight Success
Been great! Looking forward to opening more doors with Hostfully. Hostfully has been able to streamline my property onboarding and makes it much easier to have your properties on multiple channels without getting double bookings. The Hostfully customer service team is amazing and very helpful. Always there for me when I have questions.

Frequently asked questions
About Hostfully's Property Management Platform
Why use short-term rental automation tools?
Automating tedious and repetitive operational tasks is a way to save hundreds of hours, reduce manual mistakes and prevent employee burnout. The time saved will directly translate to more profit and growth, and your team will have more time to improve the guest experience. Our clients often identify our automation capabilities as one of their favorite aspects of our vacation rental software.
Just imagine the hours you will be saving when you use Hostfully’s Property Management Platform to automate your pricing, operations, check-ins, reviews, reporting, and more! So did you imagine how many hours? Yeah, it’s a lot :)
What are the benefits of automating messages?
When you automate your messages such as welcome notes, check-in instructions, invoices, thank you’s, etc., you’ll realize there are many benefits to doing so. First, you will be eliminating the most common error: simply forgetting to reply to your guest in time, which can cause a lot of inconveniences on their end. Using the wrong guest name is also a thing of the past – you’ll be surprised how frequent this is with manual messaging! You’ll also be saving hours of communication time monthly.
What are the benefits of automating pricing?
Hostfully’s Property Management Platform is integrated with various dynamic pricing tools such as Beyond, Wheelhouse, DPGO, Nightpricer & PriceLabs, that allow you to minimize routine tasks of monitoring your calendar, looking for vacancies, and then visiting all the OTAs to manually input reduced prices to fill in those days. Now you’ll have to simply adjust the price once on your dashboard, and this change will be implemented across all OTAs in just a click. Plus, these tools will select the best prices for you after analyzing millions of data points such as historical data, competitor pricing, events, and more. This means you’ll not only reduce time changing the nightly rates, but also doing the research.
What are the benefits of automating reviews?
This Hostfully feature allows you to completely automate the process of asking for reviews, and also completely automates the process of leaving reviews for your guests on Airbnb. You can create multiple custom review templates that will rotate with each new check out which helps you sound more authentic and personal.
