Vacation Rental Email Automation - Part 2

[Jon Crosby]

Hi Everyone, hope you are all doing well!

Last year I posted my hack for setting up a free vacation rental email automation using a few free tools (Mailchimp, Automate.io, Google Calendar). Basically it's a system to which your guests and service providers can be automatically emailed based on check in/out dates. I know AirGMS, Guesty, etc. does this (even for free for small accounts), however if you are like me and use a 3rd party booking provider like Evolve, you do not have access to your listings for those tools to use so this is a nice supplement for better guest experience if you are in that situation.

I will be helping a friend convert his Evolve property in SD to this setup soon and decided to setup a document on how to do it. It's not for the technical faint of heart by any means, but it's totally do-able with a little time and patience and mine has worked great for me for over 2 years now with zero maintenance.

So, thought I would share with our STR crew here and feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions on how to improve it.

As always, I'm also happy to jump on a call with anyone that needs deeper explanation on any of the pieces.
