Ecco can use vacation-rental operations and channel management from Hostaway in guest conversations when an approved connection is available. Confirm channels and actions for your setup with our team.
What is a Hostaway AI agent?
Hostaway supports vacation-rental properties, bookings and channel operations. Ecco can answer guest calls and messages, collect booking requests and hand complex questions to the team.
When a supported Hostaway connection is configured, permitted property and reservation context can inform guest replies. Availability checks, booking creation and calendar updates depend on the actions and permissions confirmed for your portfolio.
