Smart Reservation Management

Vanio AI automatically handles all aspects of your reservation lifecycle — from initial booking confirmation to checkout completion. The AI monitors your reservations across all platforms, processes changes and cancellations, and keeps everything synchronized without requiring your constant attention.

Getting Started

Setting Up Reservation Sync

1. Connect your booking platforms — Go to Settings → Integrations and connect your Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO accounts
2. Enable auto-sync — Toggle on "Automatic Reservation Sync" in Settings → AI Features
3. Set your preferences — Choose which reservation events trigger notifications in Settings → Notifications

How It Works

When a guest books your property, Vanio AI immediately:

• Pulls the reservation details from your booking platform
• Creates a unified reservation record with all guest and pricing information
• Starts monitoring for changes like date modifications or cancellations
• Synchronizes information across all your connected platforms
• Generates automated tasks for cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication

You'll see real-time updates in your dashboard as the AI processes each reservation. The system handles complex scenarios like date changes, guest count modifications, and pricing adjustments without any input from you.

What You See

Each reservation shows:

• Guest information — name, contact details, and special requests
• Stay details — dates, property, guest count, and pricing breakdown
• AI activity log — what actions the system has taken automatically
• Sync status — confirmation that information is current across all platforms
• Required attention — any items that need your manual review

Tips & Best Practices

Keep platforms connected — Regularly check your integration status in Settings. If a platform disconnects, you'll lose automatic sync for new reservations until you reconnect.

Monitor the activity feed — Check the AI activity log weekly to understand what's being handled automatically. This helps you stay informed without micromanaging.

Set up smart notifications — Configure alerts for high-value reservations or specific guest types so you can provide personalized attention when needed.

Review pricing sync — Enable automatic pricing updates, but spot-check your rates monthly to ensure they align with your strategy across all platforms.

Use reservation filters — Create custom views for different types of stays (business trips, long-term, VIP guests) to quickly focus on reservations that need attention.

Common Questions

What happens if the AI can't process a reservation change? The system flags it for your attention and sends you a notification. You'll see a "Needs Review" indicator in your dashboard, and the AI will explain what it couldn't handle automatically.

Can I see what the AI is doing with my reservations in real-time? Yes — every reservation shows a detailed activity timeline. You can see exactly when the AI synced data, created tasks, or processed changes, along with timestamps and results.

How does pricing synchronization work across different platforms? The AI maintains your base pricing rules and automatically applies them across all channels. When you update rates on one platform, the system propagates those changes while respecting each platform's specific fee structures and policies.
