Operations / Task Rules
Problem
I run 5 properties with 2 cleaners on a fixed roster: one cleaner covers Mon–Fri turnovers, the other covers Sat–Sun. Today the cleaning Task Rule (before check-in / after check-out) fires on every reservation regardless of weekday, with no way to scope the rule — or its assignee — by day of week. Recurring tasks can be scoped to a specific weekday but they're locked to Task type = Maintenance, so they can't be used for cleanings.
That leaves only manual workarounds: either set the cleaning rule to Manual and reassign every task in the Task Calendar by hand, or set a default cleaner and manually flip the weekend ones. Both scale poorly and are error-prone — the wrong cleaner gets notified, shows up, or misses a turn.
Notification Rules have the same gap: there's no day-of-week filter, so the off-duty cleaner still gets pinged unless I split teammates by property scope (which doesn't match how my roster actually works).
Proposed solution
1. Add a Day of week filter on cleaning Task Rules — multi-select Mon–Sun, applied to the trigger date (check-out date for after-checkout rules, check-in date for before-checkin rules). Lets me create one rule for Mon–Fri → Cleaner A, and another for Sat–Sun → Cleaner B.
2. Alternatively (or additionally), allow conditional assignee inside a single rule: "if check-out day in {Sat, Sun} → assign to Cleaner B, else → Cleaner A."
3. Mirror the same Day-of-week filter on Notification Rules so reminders/notifications respect the roster automatically.
Why it matters
Weekday/weekend cleaner splits are a very common roster pattern for short-term rental operators — it matches how cleaning crews actually schedule themselves. Without this, every host on a weekday/weekend split is doing daily manual reassignment in the Task Calendar, which defeats the point of automated Task Rules.
**Use case (mine)**
• 2 cleaners, 5 properties
• Cleaner A: Mon–Fri turnovers across all 5 properties
• Cleaner B: Sat–Sun turnovers across all 5 properties
• Want the right cleaner auto-assigned + auto-notified based on the check-out date, with zero manual touch.
