What Guest Desk does, and what is still coming.

Every feature below is labelled honestly: built and available with setup, or coming soon.

Available with setup means the feature is built, but needs the right connection, verification and your approval before it runs. Coming soon means it is not yet available as a connected Guest Desk service.

  • Airbnb and Expedia messages through supported forwarding routes, or team-assisted replies where an automatic route is unavailable.
  • Quiet hours for scheduled information; urgent guest messages can still reach your team.

A housekeeping app that keeps everyone in step
