Description
Description Automate the entire guest communication lifecycle for your short-term rental properties. From the moment a reservation is confirmed in Guesty, this workflow sends a booking confirmation SMS, enrolls guests in a check-in reminder sequence, and automatically triggers a post-checkout review request. Property managers juggle dozens of bookings across multiple platforms. This workflow ensures every guest gets a consistent, professional communication experience — whether they booked on Airbnb, VRBO, or direct — by routing all guest messaging through Aloware's SMS platform via n8n. How it works A Webhook receives new reservation data from Guesty (via Guesty Automations or API webhooks). A Set node normalizes the booking data — guest phone, name, email, check-in/check-out dates, listing name, confirmation code, and guest count. An HTTP Request creates the guest as a contact in Aloware, storing the property name, dates, and confirmation code in custom fields and notes. A second HTTP Request sends an instant booking confirmation SMS with the reservation details and confirmation code. An HTTP Request enrolls the guest in an Aloware Check-in Reminder Sequence (you configure the sequence in Aloware to send reminders at 3 days, 1 day, and day-of with check-in instructions). A Wait node pauses until 18 hours after the checkout date. A final HTTP Request enrolls the guest in a Post-Stay Review Sequence — a thank-you SMS with a review link. How to use Import the JSON into n8n. Add these n8n Variables: ALOWARE_API_TOKEN, ALOWARE_LINE_PHONE, ALOWARE_CHECKIN_SEQUENCE_ID, ALOWARE_REVIEW_SEQUENCE_ID, and PROPERTY_COMPANY_NAME. In Aloware, create two Sequences: Check-in Reminder Sequence: 3-day, 1-day, and day-of SMS reminders with check-in instructions (WiFi, door codes, parking). Post-Stay Review Sequence: thank-you SMS with a review link (Airbnb, Google, etc.). In Guesty, configure an Automation or API webhook for "New Reservation" events, pointing to this workflow's URL. Activate and test with a test booking. Requirements Aloware account with API access and an outbound line Guesty account with webhook or automation capabilities Customising this workflow Add an IF node to route by listing — different check-in instructions per property. Include an MMS node to send a property photo or a map pin alongside the check-in instructions. Add a cancellation webhook that disenrolls guests from the reminder sequence when a booking is cancelled. Duplicate the workflow for Guesty's "Reservation Updated" event to send change-of-dates notifications. An n8n automation workflow template by Maxim Dudnik.
