how it plays out

From Arrival Questions to Booking Requests

Example guest-support workflows for short-term rentals. Property-specific instructions, access permissions, booking rules, and on-call contacts determine each response.

WhatsApp Spanish

"I just arrived and the lockbox code isn't working"

After-hours access emergency

  1. Identify the guest and reservation using the property’s verification process.
  2. Check the approved arrival instructions for the booked property.
  3. Guide the guest to the authorized access instructions without disclosing codes to an unverified caller.
  4. Contact the designated property manager if access still fails and relay the confirmed next step.
Access issue routed Example workflow
Phone English

"The hot water heater isn't working and we have kids"

Urgent maintenance affecting family guests

  1. Keep the property reference, reservation, hot-water problem, and guest callback details in the same ticket.
  2. Notify the host or maintenance contact under the property’s escalation rules.
  3. Share the repair update only after the responsible contact confirms it.
  4. Send compensation or alternative-accommodation requests to the host for a decision.
Maintenance message delivered Example workflow
Email Mandarin

"We want to book the same property for two weeks next summer"

Repeat guest long-stay booking request

  1. Record the requested two-week stay, dates, property, and party size.
  2. Check the availability and rate information provided for guest inquiries.
  3. Send any discount or booking-hold request to the authorized booking owner.
  4. Relay the confirmed offer and direct the guest to the approved booking process.
Repeat-stay request prepared Example workflow
Live Chat Dutch

"How do we operate the pool heating and the grill?"

Property amenity instructions during stay

  1. Identify the property and the amenity the guest is asking about.
  2. Share the host-approved pool and grill instructions for that property.
  3. Point to the relevant house guide for Wi-Fi and other appliance information.
  4. Escalate unclear operating instructions or a reported fault to the property contact.
Property instructions shared Example workflow

Keep Each Guest Request Attached to the Right Property

For vacation rental support, configure HeroDash fields for property reference, reservation reference, arrival date, and issue type. Access trouble at one property should carry its own instructions and local contact, rather than a general message about a broken lockbox.

Use the recorded issue type to distinguish access questions, maintenance reports, and booking changes in the support queue. Assignment rules can route work to configured groups; the host or local responder handles tasks that require someone at the property.

A maintenance ticket can retain the guest’s report, the contact notified, and the update received. Status-change triggers can tag the ticket and notify the assigned agent. For a guest who cannot get inside, follow the property’s immediate contact procedure; hourly automation is for follow-up work.

what comes off the call

Guest and Property Details to Keep Together

Agree these details with your team before coverage begins so the next person can act on the request.

  • Reservation reference, property, and verified guest contact
  • Arrival date and current access problem, if any
  • Approved house guide and access-sharing rules
  • Maintenance contact and urgency criteria
  • Booking-change and refund approval owner
  • Fallback contact when the first on-call person is unavailable

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Can support issue new door codes or approve refunds?

The workflow follows the permissions you provide. Access-code changes, compensation, and refunds go through the authorized property or booking owner.

What happens when a guest reports a maintenance problem?

Support records the property, issue, and callback details, contacts your designated responder, and relays confirmed updates. Physical repairs remain with your local maintenance team.
