The problem
Watching all the time is exhausting.
Without alerts, you check everything, all the time — for fear of missing the essential.
Is the cleaning confirmed? Has the Airbnb payout arrived? Does this new iCal hide an overlap? With no warning, you reopen the app ten times a day to make sure. That constant vigilance wears you down, and it's precisely when you let your guard down that an important detail slips through.
HostDesk's alerts shift the burden: you no longer watch, you're warned. And only for what deserves your attention.
How it works
Useful alerts, and nothing else.
HostDesk only notifies you when a decision is waiting for you.
The bell
Everything that moves, gathered in one place.
A bell centralises your notifications: new booking, cleaning validated, payout received. You read the essentials of your activity in seconds, without digging.
- Notifications grouped and time-stamped.
- New items highlighted.
- History consultable at any time.
The thresholds
An alert when an expense drifts.
You set spending thresholds; HostDesk keeps watch. As soon as a category overflows, the alert drops — while there's still time to react and protect your margin.
- Alert on crossing an expense threshold.
- Direct link to expense analysis.
- You act before the drift settles in.

Payouts to reconcile surface: your accounting stays up to date effortlessly.
No drift endured
Exceeded thresholds alert you before they eat into your profitability.
You no longer watch: you're warned.
Sober, actionable alerts, to breathe without missing a thing.
Frequently asked questions
Everything about alerts.
What types of alerts does HostDesk send?
New booking, cleaning validated or late, iCal to confirm, overlap detected, payout to reconcile, expense threshold exceeded: HostDesk warns you at every event that matters, and only those.
Where do I receive my notifications?
In the app, via a bell that gathers everything, and in your dashboard as actions to handle. You keep a clear history of what happened.
Am I warned if a cleaning runs late?
Yes. If a cleaning isn't validated while an arrival is approaching, an alert drops so you can chase the cleaner or warn the guest in time.
Do expense alerts work with my thresholds?
Yes. As soon as an expense crosses a threshold you've set, HostDesk alerts you. See the Expense analysis page.
Will I be drowned in notifications?
No. HostDesk is deliberately sober: it only surfaces actionable events. No noise, no useless notification — just the signals that call for a decision.
Can I handle an alert directly?
Yes. Each alert leads to the relevant screen: confirm an iCal, schedule a cleaning, reconcile a payout. You go from signal to action in one click.
