How to set it up

  1. 01

    Describe the task

    In plain language, the way you would explain it to a new colleague. The description below is a starting point.

  2. 02

    Review the first run

    Discontinue shows you the result before anything runs on a schedule.

  3. 03

    From then on it runs

    On a schedule or when something happens. You can change it in chat at any time.

Description to copy
Twice a day, at 11:00 and 17:00, read the new guest messages from our guest journey tool. When a guest reports a defect, such as a dripping shower or a broken lamp, create a job for maintenance in our task tool: room, what was reported, time. If the room already has an open job for the same defect, don’t create a new one. Don’t reply to guests.

Step by step in the documentation: Create an agent in chat.

What the result looks like

The agent works from your description and reports what it did and what is open.

What stays with you

You decide which repair comes first. Your team writes the reply to the guest.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be duplicate jobs?

Before creating a job, it checks whether the room already has an open job for the same defect. If so, no new one is created.

Which permissions does “Guest-reported defects as jobs” need?

Guest journey tool (LIKE MAGIC or Hospitable): read, Read guest messages; Tasks & projects or Housekeeping & maintenance (Atlassian, awork, ClickUp, Linear, monday.com, Trello, or TIDY): read and write, Check open jobs, create a new job. When you connect a system you decide which areas and actions are granted. Everything else stays off-limits.

What happens when a rule does not apply?

Agents only work with the systems and actions you granted. Where a rule does not apply, a person decides, and every step is logged.
