*Automation*

Hostaway offers a vast array of automation tools to help make vacation rental management easier. Property managers benefit from a variety of options to facilitate everything from messaging, emails, task management, automatic invoicing, and Webhooks.

### Automated Smart Messages


#### Automate guest messaging to schedule your responses


Did you know that on average a vacation rental manager sends 2500 messages per month? The good news is that Hostaway automates an incredible 70% of them. That means users can save around 60 hours of work that would normally be used to answer messages related to check-in/checkout, property instructions, etc. Hostaway allows users to create automated messages that will be triggered on preset dates and times.

These triggers can be adjusted to send a specific message to a guest at check-in, during the stay, or on checking out. With so much on your plate, automated messaging makes your communication with your short-term rental guests flawless.
