Automated Message Trigger After Door Code Usage

Problem Statement:

• Hospitable's messaging rules only trigger based on scheduled check-in times, not actual guest arrival
• Hosts have no way to know when guests have actually entered the property
• Messages sent at scheduled check-in time may arrive before guests arrive or too long after they've settled in

Current Workaround:

• Setting a delay after check-in (e.g., 1-2 hours) to approximate when guests might arrive
• This is unreliable since guests may arrive earlier or later than expected

Impact:

• Messages may arrive at inconvenient times (before guests arrive or too late)
• Reduced guest experience due to mistimed communication
• Hosts can't confirm actual arrival timing

Proposed Solution:

• Add an option to trigger automated messages when a guest uses their door code/smart lock
• This would provide a reliable, real-time trigger based on actual guest arrival

Unlock:

• Hosts can send perfectly timed messages when guests actually arrive
• Improved guest experience with relevant, timely communication
• Better visibility into when guests have checked in
