Product Updates - April 2026

Here's a summary of everything new and improved at Hostify in April 2026

Written by Rachel Tommasino

Activity Log for Calendar (CAL2)

NEW

Activity Log — Full Visibility into Calendar Changes

Track every request that changes pricing or availability across your listings, including reservations, bulk calendar updates (e.g. PriceLabs), blocks, and more.

• Multicalendar overview — A new view shows failed/successful requests across all listings. Click any number to jump to the main Activity Log in Settings.

• Settings → Activity Log — See all requests affecting pricing or availability: reservations, bulk updates, blocks, and more.

• Request detail view — Click any request to see a full breakdown: listing name (links to the listing), what was sent to each connected channel, and the data transmitted. Failed requests show a red field with a brief explanation of the issue.

• Kibana ID — Each request includes an ID that maps to Kibana logs, useful for deeper investigation. Share with the team if needed.

• Per-listing log — The same detailed view is also available directly on each listing's page, filtered to that listing only.

Airbnb Reviews Dashboard

NEW

New Reviews Dashboard for Airbnb Is Live

A dedicated Reviews Dashboard is now available for Airbnb, giving you a richer picture of your guest feedback with enhanced statistics and visualizations.

• Quality Percentage Distribution — see how your reviews are spread across rating levels.

• Guest Favorites — identify which properties guests love most.

• Superhost Account Indicator — highlights accounts that have met Superhost-level performance.

• Trends & Distribution Over Time — track how your review quality evolves month by month.

• Top Issues Graph — visualize recurring guest concerns at a glance.

Settings & Account

NEW

User Last Login Column

Settings → Users now includes a Last Login column showing the last time each user logged into Hostify. The timestamp is automatically converted to your account's timezone.

Hostify AI — Autopilot

NEW

Knowledge Base Auto-Generation from Conversations

A new Generate from Conversations button on the Knowledge Base page analyzes your inbox history and proposes KB entries using AI.

• Produces general entries (all properties), listing-specific entries, and suggested custom instructions.

• Choose a time period of 1–12 months, review the draft batch item by item, and publish with one click.

• Multi-unit aware, deduplicates against your existing KB, and processes up to 5,000 threads.

NEW

Reservation Updates from Guest Messages

The AI agent can now act on what guests say in conversation to update the reservation automatically.

Planned arrival & departure — When the guest says "we'll arrive around 3pm" or "leaving by 10am", the agent sets the ETA/ETD on the reservation.

Check-in & check-out status — When the guest confirms "we're at the property" or "we just left", the agent marks them as checked in or checked out.

• Both capabilities are opt-in via separate toggles in Auto Pilot settings (Reservation Updates section).

• When off, the agent still answers questions about arrival times — it just won't write data back.

• Toggle states are included in the guest communication webhook payload for external system visibility.

NEW

Active Hours Schedule

Configure a weekday-by-weekday schedule to control when Auto Pilot operates.

• Each day has its own on/off flag and time window.

• Overnight windows are supported (e.g. 22:00–06:00).

• Disable the schedule entirely to run 24/7.

• Times are based on your account timezone.

NEW

Escalation Notifications

When the AI can't handle a guest message, it escalates in one step: internal note, starred thread, and a notification to your team.

• Alerts via email, SMS, or WhatsApp (works with both the Hostify shared number and your own WABA).

• A pre-built "Inbox Escalation (AI)" template is available in the Auto Message picker.

• New template variables: {{escalation_note}}, {{escalation_type}}, {{assignee_name}}, {{priority}}, {{thread_link}}.

• API endpoint available: POST /inbox/escalate for external integrations.
