Remove canceled booking from roster and notify staff

Automatically monitor reservation created or updated across Hostaway. Instantly remove canceled roster rows and notify operations when reservation cancelled, listing stops, or status changes — so you can keep availability accurate, alert staff, and avoid manual roster cleanup.

How this automation protects your availability

When a reservation is cancelled, your roster can go out of sync and freed nights can be missed. This automation formats dates, filters for true cancellations, deletes the matching Google Sheets row, and notifies operations by email—so your team can keep availability accurate.
