🔗 Host Tools + TIDY: Automate Your Turnovers and Keep Guests Happy

Host Tools is a smart platform for managing short-term rentals — from guest communication to calendar syncing. When you connect it with TIDY, your cleaning and maintenance operations become just as effortless as your booking management.

✅ Why Integrate Host Tools with TIDY?

By connecting the two, you’ll have:

• A Complete Overview – See all your properties, reservations, and cleanings in one place.
• Automated Scheduling – Turnover cleanings are booked automatically from Host Tools reservations — no phone tag with cleaners.
• Free Cleaner Access – Invite your trusted Pros to TIDY (it’s free for them!) so they can easily accept and track jobs.
• Full Job Tracking – Keep tabs on upcoming, in-progress, and completed turnovers.
• Seamless Sync – Cleaning status in TIDY is automatically updated in Host Tools after each job.

⚙️ How the Integration Works

Once connected, everything runs on autopilot:

1. Property Sync – All Host Tools listings appear in TIDY as properties.
2. Reservation Sync – New and updated reservations from Host Tools are added to your TIDY “Reservations” tab.
3. Automatic Scheduling – Based on your Automatic Booking rules, TIDY schedules turnover cleanings between check-out and the next check-in.
4. Cleaner Assignment – Pros in your “My Pros” list are offered jobs in the order you set.
5. Pro Experience – Assigned cleaners receive job details, your instructions, the Checklist (if any), and can message you through TIDY.
