What this helps you do
Prove one cleaning process before you automate it across your portfolio. This guide connects the property, task, assignee, field work, and manager review.Before you start
- Choose one test property and one upcoming or synthetic cleaning.
- Confirm the teammate or vendor has access to that property.
- Prepare the checklist, timing, and photo requirements your team uses.
- Keep any checkout workflow off until the manual test is complete.
Prepare the work
1
Review the property
Open Properties and confirm the address, access notes, rooms, and
cleaning details the worker needs.
2
Create or choose the cleaning task
In Tasks, use the cleaning task type or template your team has approved.
Set the property, date, time, checklist, and required proof.
3
Assign the right person
Assign the teammate, department, or vendor. Confirm their role and property
access before saving.
4
Check the worker's view
Ask the worker to sign in, open the assigned task, and confirm the schedule,
property, checklist, and instructions.
5
Complete the field test
Have the worker follow the checklist, add the required photos or notes, and
mark the task complete.
6
Review as a manager
Confirm completion time, checklist, photos, notes, and any issue that needs
follow-up.
Add checkout automation after the test
Once the manual process is correct, create or update a workflow that creates the cleaning task after the right checkout event. Use the same property, task details, and assignment rules. Run a safe test and inspect Workflows > Runs before enabling it.How to check it worked
- The task belongs to the correct property and time.
- The intended worker can open only the work they need.
- The checklist and proof requirements are clear.
- The manager can review completion and exceptions.
- Any checkout workflow has a successful safe test in Runs.
