We're thrilled to announce the launch of SMS notifications for hosts! This new feature is part of our ongoing commitment to enhance communication and streamline the booking process on Hostshare.
New Feature Overview:
- SMS Notifications:Starting today, hosts will receive SMS alerts for new bookings. This initial rollout is specifically focused on new booking notifications to ensure a smooth integration and to avoid overloading our users with messages.
What to Expect:
Here’s a glimpse of what the SMS notifications will look like:

Looking Ahead:
- Broader Notification Scope:We plan to gradually expand the types of notifications sent via SMS, incorporating various other alerts to keep our hosts fully informed.
- User Preferences:Notification preferences will soon be integrated, allowing hosts to customize how and what alerts they receive via SMS.
- Enhanced Direct Actions:Future updates will enable hosts to interact directly from SMS notifications, such as replying to messages or viewing unread notifications, streamlining the communication process further.
- App Integration Challenges on iOS:We are aware that SMS links currently open in a web browser rather than directly in our Progressive Web App (PWA) on iOS devices. We are actively exploring solutions, including the potential for an App Store release, to enhance user experience and interaction with our platform.
Thank you for being a part of Hostshare, and we look forward to continuing to improve our platform to better serve you!
