Step 3: Creating a Task Template
A task template allows you to define cleaning tasks and assign them to specific team members. Follow these steps to create one:
- Describe the Template:
- Template Name: Give your task a clear name for easy identification (e.g., “Check-out Cleaning”).
- Description: Provide a clear description of the cleaning task. For instance, request a full check-out cleaning or regular housekeeping. Specify details like checking lamp functionality or ensuring kitchen appliances are clean. This helps the cleaner meet your expectations effectively.
- Template Name: Give your task a clear name for easy identification (e.g., “Check-out Cleaning”).
- Assign the Task:
- I’ll Assign the Task Later: Select this if you haven’t yet invited a team member or they haven’t accepted your invitation.
- Assign to a Specific Member: You can assign the task only to members who have already accepted the invitation and accessed the Assignee Portal.
- I’ll Assign the Task Later: Select this if you haven’t yet invited a team member or they haven’t accepted your invitation.
- Apply the Task to Listings:
- Choose the listing(s) where this cleaning task will apply.
- Choose the listing(s) where this cleaning task will apply.
- Set Scheduling Rules:
- Currently, tasks are automatically created for every new booking. If a booking already exists, creating a template won’t trigger a task.
-
- Set the task deadline to ensure the cleaning is completed before the next guest arrives. You can set the rules based on the following options:
- 1 to 23 hours
- 1 to 7 days

5. After entering all the details, click Save.
Editing or Deleting Templates:
After creating a task template, you can edit or delete it by clicking on the three-dot symbol next to the template.
Important note:
- After creating a task template, you may notice that no tasks appear immediately under the "All Tasks" tab. This is because tasks are only generated when a booking is received for the assigned listing.
- Once a booking is made, a task will be automatically created and displayed under "All Tasks." The assigned team member will also receive an email notification about the new task.
- Please note that manual task creation is not yet available, but this feature will be introduced soon.
