Nobody drives to a property that is still occupied. - [Short-term rentals](https://www.conduit.ai/industry/short-term-rentals.md) ## The Guest Requests That Change Your Housekeeping Schedule, Handled Automatically Late checkouts, early check-ins, and mid-stay refreshes all originate in the guest conversation. Conduit bridges the gap between guest requests and team execution without manual intervention. ### Late Checkout Approvals That Update the Turnover Schedule Guest requests a late checkout via WhatsApp. Conduit checks PMS availability, confirms the new checkout time to the guest, and dispatches the updated turnover window to housekeeping with the property and room details. The cleaner arrives at the right time. The three-message relay that used to take 20 minutes closes in under 60 seconds. ### Early Check-In Coordination Without the Back-and-Forth A guest asks if they can check in at noon. Conduit verifies room readiness in your PMS, dispatches a priority clean request to the housekeeping team, and confirms the early check-in time back to the guest in one automated sequence. The guest gets a confirmed answer. The cleaner gets a prioritized task with timing and room number. ### Mid-Stay Refresh Requests Routed Directly to Your Team Guest texts asking for fresh towels and a bathroom refresh. Conduit captures the request, dispatches it to the on-property team with the room number and specific task details, and confirms completion back to the guest once the team marks it done. Simple requests that used to require a coordinator now route automatically. ### Booking Changes That Trigger Proactive Schedule Updates When a booking extends, shortens, or changes checkout time in your PMS, Conduit's internal agent monitors the event and alerts your housekeeping team before the cleaner arrives at the wrong time. Schedule-impacting changes reach your team immediately, even at 6am when no coordinator is monitoring messages. ## Works Alongside Your Housekeeping Scheduling Tool Conduit is not a replacement for purpose-built housekeeping platforms like Actabl, RoomChecking, or Breezeway. It handles the guest-facing requests that modify the schedule those tools manage. ### Your Scheduling Tool Manages the Board, Conduit Handles the Guest Side Actabl, RoomChecking, and Breezeway handle the scheduling board, inspection checklists, and staff assignments. Conduit handles the guest-facing requests that modify the schedule those tools manage. Your housekeeping tool holds the schedule, Conduit updates it from the guest conversation. ### Guest Requests Become Structured Team Updates When a guest sends a housekeeping-related request, Conduit translates it into a structured dispatch: property name, room number, request type, timing, and priority level. Your housekeeping team receives actionable updates in the channels they already use. ### Integrates With Your PMS and Communication Stack Conduit connects to your property management system to check availability, verify booking details, and monitor schedule-impacting events.

Conduit receives the request across any channel and begins processing immediately in one unified workspace. ### Conduit Checks Your PMS for Availability For late checkouts and early check-ins, Conduit queries your property management system to verify availability and confirm whether the request can be approved. The check happens in seconds. The guest doesn't wait while someone manually looks up the booking. ### The Agent Confirms the Request Back to the Guest Conduit responds with a confirmation, new timing details, and any relevant instructions. The response feels natural and maintains the hospitality tone your brand requires. The back-and-forth that used to take 20 minutes closes in under 60 seconds. ### A Structured Update Dispatches to Your Housekeeping Team Conduit sends a structured message to your housekeeping team via Slack, SMS, or your preferred channel. The update includes property name, room number, request type, timing, and priority level. Your team gets actionable instructions without having to decode guest messages. ### Completion Confirmation Closes the Loop When the housekeeping team marks the task complete, Conduit can confirm completion back to the guest if needed. Every step is logged and visible in your performance reporting dashboard. You can inspect the tools the agent called, the decisions it made, and the path to each answer. ## Everything You Need to Make Housekeeping Coordination Work ### Full Observability Into Every Agent Decision Inspect every step your agent takes: the tools it called, the PMS data it checked, the decisions it made, and the path to each answer.
