How Hostbuddy + TIDY Create the Ultimate Automated Operations Flow for Short-Term Rentals

Today, some of the most forward-thinking property managers are using Hostbuddy's automation and guest messaging combined with TIDY's on-the-ground operations tools to run their businesses with less manual work and more consistency. The results are remarkable.

Here's how the integration works, and why operators are loving it.

A Seamless Sync Between Guest Communication and Property Operations

Hostbuddy is known for automating messaging, guest workflows, pricing, review management, and all the "digital" pieces of the hosting experience. TIDY, on the other hand, provides tools to help you manage all the physical tasks that happen in properties:

• Turnover cleanings
• Mid-stay cleanings
• Maintenance tasks
• Inspections
• Inventory tracking
• Photo check-ins and check-outs

When Hostbuddy and TIDY are connected, the two sides of the business finally speak the same language.

• ✓ A reservation is created in Hostbuddy → TIDY instantly generates a turnover.
• ✓ A guest asks for an early check-in → TIDY helps you coordinate with your team and update status automatically.
• ✓ A mid-stay cleaning is approved → TIDY schedules it with the pros you work with.

No copy-paste. No texting pros manually. No last-minute surprises.

Just one integrated flow from communication to execution.

Unlocking Powerful Upsells: Early Check-Ins, Late Check-Outs & Mid-Stay Cleanings

One of the biggest wins of the Hostbuddy + TIDY integration is how easily it supports high-value upsell requests, including:

Early Check-In

When guests want to start their stay sooner, Hostbuddy captures the request and TIDY gives you tools to check if the property is ready, schedule an express clean if needed, and confirm availability, all without manual oversight.

Late Check-Out

A late departure doesn't need to disrupt operations. TIDY helps you automatically adjust schedules, notify your team, and ensure the next turnover stays on track.

Mid-Stay Cleanings

This is where operators are seeing major revenue boost. Hostbuddy markets the mid-stay option through automated messages, guests request it with one click, and TIDY gives you the tools to handle everything that happens afterwards.

The result:

• Increased revenue per booking
• Better guest satisfaction
• No operational headaches
• Your pros get more consistent work
• TIDY and Hostbuddy users grow effortlessly

It's a perfect three-way win: Guests love it. Managers earn more. Pros get more work.

Automation That Actually Reduces Human Error

Both platforms focus heavily on eliminating the "tiny mistakes" that cause huge issues in property operations. With the integration:

• Wrong check-in times don't get sent to your team.
• Missed turnovers become extremely rare.
• Guest changes are synced instantly.
• Your pros always receive updated instructions.
• Every cleaning has a digital checklist and photo report.

Instead of relying on memory or manual coordination, you can use these tools to manage everything consistently and at scale.

An Integration Built for Growth

The operators using Hostbuddy and TIDY together today are seeing improvements across:

Operational efficiency

A single change in Hostbuddy flows into TIDY instantly.

Team satisfaction

Your pros love the clarity of checklists, photos, access instructions, and reminders.

Guest experience

Cleaner, more predictable stays with fast, automated responses.

Revenue growth

Upsells become part of the natural communication flow, not something managers need to push manually.

Scalability

Managers with 3 properties and managers with 300 properties benefit the same, because automation works at every size.

This integration removes the complexity that typically prevents hosts from growing. Everything that can be automated is automated.

The Future of Property Operations Starts Here

The way Hostbuddy optimizes guest workflows perfectly complements how TIDY gives you tools to manage physical operations. Together, they're creating the next generation of short-term rental automation:

• ✓ Seamless reservation-to-cleaning sync
• ✓ Automated upsells that actually convert
• ✓ Smart scheduling and team coordination
• ✓ Fully documented cleanings and quality control
• ✓ A complete operations toolset built around efficiency

For property managers looking to scale without adding overhead, this integration is one of the smartest moves they can make.
