Stop recreating the same work by hand every time a guest arrives or departs. Triggers can now create checklists and tasks: pick a template, pick the moment — check-in, checkout, booking confirmed — and HelloShift generates the work automatically, tagged to the right room and linked to the right guest.
Create Checklist: Generate a checklist from any template the moment an event fires — a checkout-clean checklist for every departing room, ready before housekeeping walks the floor.
Create Task: Create a task (with its subtasks) from a task template, one per room, inheriting the room tag and guest link.
Smart by default: Multi-room reservations get one item per room, repeated PMS events don't create duplicates, and if a template is ever deleted the trigger switches itself off safely instead of failing silently.

Merge Duplicate Guest Records
When the same guest shows up twice — a PMS double-send, a new phone number, a manually created record — admins can now merge the duplicate into the canonical profile right from the guest page. Notes, messages, tasks, stays, and history all move to the keeper, with a side-by-side review before anything is changed.

OTA Guests Can Use the Kiosk Too
Guests who booked through an OTA can now self-check-in at the kiosk using the confirmation number from their OTA booking email — HelloShift matches it to the PMS reservation automatically on supported PMS integrations.

Your Cleaning Week, On Your Phone
The mobile app now has a weekly Room Calendar with a My/All filter, so cleaners and supervisors can see the whole week's room assignments at a glance — not just today's.
