A pet variable for use in emails (Airbnb, VRBO, and Hostfully) would be extremely helpful. Many housekeepers charge a pet fee, but currently, there’s no automated way to notify them—only manual updates, which also require giving them broader Hostfully access than needed. A pet variable could trigger alerts to both housekeeping and guests, streamlining communication and operations.

A pet variable for Airbnb, VRBO, and Hostfully emails would be extremely useful. Many housekeepers charge a pet fee, but currently there’s no automated way to notify them—only manual updates, which also require giving them more Hostfully access than necessary.

This variable could also enable hosts to largely automate the pet confirmation process—collecting required details before sending access codes, similar to how many hosts handle contract signatures. It would streamline operations and improve both guest communication and housekeeping coordination.

This would be valuable to us for use in guest communication emails.

PM needs a notification indicating to her and her service providers that a pet will be staying at the property. This needs to work for all channels, not just direct bookings. A variable indicating whether a pet is coming (based on whether a pet fee was paid) would solve this problem. The statement variable displays whether a pet fee was paid, but the PM doesn't want to share that information with the service providers as it is unnecessary.

Agree! We offer dog amenities (dog bed, bowls, toy, and include a note about the dogs in our hand-written messages). This would make it so much easier to communicate with our cleaners that our guests are bringing a dog. Thanks so much!

Agreed would be very helpful

Agreed should be an easy variable to add.
