Count-Based Task Triggers (e.g. Laundry After Every X Checkouts)

Currently, recurring tasks in Hospitable are primarily time-based (daily, weekly, monthly). While this works well in many cases, some operational tasks are better triggered by actual usage rather than time.

Feature request:
Add count-based task triggers that automatically create tasks after a defined number of events.

Example use cases:

  • Create a laundry deep-clean task after every 4 checkouts

  • Schedule filter cleaning after every 10 stays

  • Trigger linen rotation or mattress checks after every X bookings

Why this matters:

  • Many maintenance and operational tasks depend on guest usage, not the calendar

  • Improves consistency and prevents over- or under-maintenance

  • Reduces manual tracking and mental load for hosts

  • Scales better for high-occupancy or seasonal properties

How it fits with existing features:
This would complement existing time-based recurring tasks, not replace them. Hosts could choose the most appropriate trigger type:

  • Time-based (e.g. weekly inspection)

  • Count-based (e.g. every 5 checkouts)

  • Event-based (e.g. after checkout)

This feature would be especially valuable for hosts managing multiple properties or high turnover listings and would further strengthen Hospitable’s operational automation.
