Onboarding 101

Our Onboarding team has members available between 9AM through 8PM (EST), Monday to Friday. We do not have Onboarding team members available outside of these hours for onboarding calls.

Here’s a high level onboarding overview so you know what to expect. Usually onboarding takes 45 days or less—assuming you keep up with your assignments and there aren’t any delays from our channel integrations partners.

The process will vary slightly depending upon your desired pacing and needs. A proper setup will save you many hours of time and energy so start off on the right foot, and remember, just take it one step at a time.

Step 1

Join group onboarding call

Within 24 business hours after signing up, you will receive a welcome email from your personal Onboarding Specialist with your first homework assignment and information on when and how to schedule your first group call.

Step 2

Complete your first assignment

In order to stay on track with your onboarding, it’s important to complete your assignment before your first 1:1 call. You can walk through our help video and guide to:

  • Update account information, add properties
  • Add rental conditions
  • Enable a payment processor
  • Configure pricing or import from a dynamic pricing provider
  • Create custom templates and triggers to automate messagings
Step 3

Meet with your Onboarding Specialist

After completing your group call and assignment, you will schedule a 1:1 call with your personal Onboarding Specialist who will review your account, answer questions, cover any remaining steps, help you with your reservations and calendar, and provide you with instructions for enabling channels and going live.

Keep an eye on your email.

You’ll receive a whole series of emails with detailed information and easy-to-follow instructions for each step. Of course, we’ll be there with you throughout.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do not sync your Hostfully properties to the channels before completing pricing, fees, taxes and availability otherwise you may receive double bookings or bookings below the price you want.
  • Do not forget to do mock reservations up to the paywall after connecting to the channels to ensure prices and availability show as you expect.
After you adjust fees, taxes or pricing, we suggest selecting dates on your listing like a guest would and reviewing the order.

Once a property is toggled ON within a channel in Hostfully and you connect that property to an existing listing, the data in Hostfully completely overwrites your existing listing. This includes pricing, photos, descriptions and rental terms. Make sure your property is complete in Hostfully before syncing!
