Connect calendars, define event types, and trigger messages across the booking lifecycle.
01
Connect your listings and calendars
Sync your Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct booking calendars to Cal.com, then map event types like new booking, pre check in, mid stay, and check out. Set buffers for turnovers and assign teammates. Cal.com automatically avoids conflicts and respects time zones for guests, cleaners, and co hosts.

02
Design your workflow steps
Use guest communication templates to send self check in instructions, a house manual template, and check out reminders. Add SMS, email, and WhatsApp touchpoints. Trigger a cleaner task with an Airbnb cleaning checklist, notify your team in Slack, and create follow-up surveys with webhooks.

03
Automate and monitor
Go live with one click. Cal.com delivers messages on schedule, updates events on reschedules or cancellations, and logs activity. Track delivery, opens, and link clicks. Cleaners receive their turnover workflow with access codes and notes, and guests get timely, helpful guidance without back and forth.

Why short-term rental hosts, managers, and cleaners rely on Cal.com.

01
Stop manual messaging during peak turnover
Eliminate copy paste and late-night replies. Prebuild self check in instructions, parking details, Wi Fi, and local tips. Automatically send a house manual template after booking, a check in pack before arrival, and a check out checklist the night before departure. Cal.com sends on time, every time, so you can focus on operations and guest experience.
02
Reduce no shows and prevent confusion
Automated reminders and clear directions reduce guest uncertainty and support contactless access. Include lock codes, driving directions, and door photos. If a booking changes, Cal.com updates messages automatically, reducing support tickets and last minute calls.


03
Run consistent turnovers with less oversight
Standardize cleaner tasks with an Airbnb cleaning checklist and property specific notes. Assign cleaners automatically, notify backups when someone declines, and log completion via forms. Your turnover workflow keeps every unit ready on time, even across multiple locations.
04
Scale with open, flexible infrastructure
Cal.com is open source, API first, and optionally self hosted. Integrate PMS, smart locks, CRMs, and task tools via webhooks and the Cal.com Apps directory at https://cal.com/apps. Explore docs at https://cal.com/docs, security at https://cal.com/security, pricing at https://cal.com/pricing, and guides on https://cal.com/blog.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
These are some of our most frequently asked questions.
These are some of our most frequently asked questions.
How do I use Cal.com with Airbnb and my PMS?
Sync your booking calendar to Cal.com using iCal or an integration, then map booking events to workflow triggers. Connect your PMS via webhooks or custom apps to pass reservation data, guest contacts, and property attributes for templated messages and tasks.
Can I send self check in instructions only after identity is verified?
Yes. Add conditions to your workflow so access details are sent only after a verification step is marked complete in your PMS or a webhook. Cal.com can delay messages, wait for a webhook, and then continue.
How do cleaners receive and confirm turnover tasks?
Assign cleaners to properties and trigger tasks on checkout. Cleaners get email or SMS with the Airbnb cleaning checklist, notes, and photo requirements. They can confirm via link or your task tool integrated through webhooks.
What happens if a booking is rescheduled or canceled?
Cal.com updates or cancels scheduled messages automatically. Turnover tasks are reassigned or withdrawn, and backups are notified based on your rules. Guests receive updated details without manual intervention.
Can I maintain different templates per property or brand?
Yes. Store property specific guest communication templates and a house manual template per unit. Use variables for address, Wi Fi, parking, and policies, and route the correct version based on the listing or brand.
Is Cal.com suitable for multi unit operations and teams?
Yes. Cal.com supports multiple properties, roles, and permissions. Use routing, ownership rules, and team availability to coordinate co hosts, cleaners, and vendors at scale.
Do I need to use the hosted version, or can I self host?
You can use hosted or self hosted Cal.com. Both support workflows and the API. Review deployment options in https://cal.com/docs and reach out via https://help.cal.com for guidance.
