Features

Boarding Pass

  • The Boarding Pass is a web app used by guests that can be customizable to fit your brand.
  • You can create custom guest verification rules based on which platform the reservation came from. Airbnb guests can have one screening process, while Booking.com can have another. Enso Connect offers 3 guest verification partners:
    • Autohost
    • Partee
    • Superhog
    • *Additional screening fees may apply from the partner companies.
  • Rental Agreement – Guests can view and sign your rental agreement and rules within the Boarding Pass.
  • Security Deposits and Damage Waivers – Set rules to automate the collection and release of security deposits, holds, or damage waivers.
  • Remote check-in – With a wide range of smart lock integrations, you can completely automate guests’ access to your property (see below for smart lock integrations).
  • Use “If This Than That” technology to configure when guests receive access to their check-in instructions. For example, create rules that prevent check-in instructions from being sent until the rental agreement has been signed and the security deposit has been collected.
  • Digital Guest Guides – A full-featured digital guest guide allows you to share important information about your property, reduce questions, and help guests live like locals. You can create multiple variations of your guide to create a hyper-personalized guest experience. For example, you could create seasonal versions that guide your guests to activities and venues relevant to that time of year. Videos can be included in your guide.
