We’re excited to announce our newest integration: Hostex now works seamlessly with Alertify, the proactive noise monitoring and incident management platform trusted by top short-term rental operators worldwide.
This integration combines Hostex’s all-in-one property management tools with Alertify’s real-time noise and smoking detection, automated guest messaging, and verification features. As a result, professional hosts gain a smarter, more secure way to manage their properties.
Meet Alertify: Your Partner in Preventing Rental Risk
Alertify is built with one clear goal: helping hosts take action before small guest issues become costly problems.
By using smart, Wi-Fi-connected devices, Alertify continuously monitors for excessive noise, indoor smoking, and unauthorized gatherings — three of the most common and expensive risks in short-term rentals.
For example, a 2023 industry report showed that 21% of STR damage claims were linked to parties or disruptive guests. In addition, noise complaints made up 35% of neighbor disputes. In some cities, only two complaints can put a host’s operating license at risk.
However, Alertify does more than detect problems. It empowers you to act quickly. You can send automated messages, access after-incident reports, and verify guests using WelcomeLink. In other words, it’s the only solution designed to respond the moment an issue begins.
Proactive Guest Alerts: Real-Time Intervention for Noise & Smoking
The Hostex and Alertify integration brings proactive incident management directly into your workflow.
When Alertify detects a noise or smoking violation in a property, it instantly sends a polite but firm message to the guest, reminding them of the house rules. These messages are completely customizable and are sent automatically – no need for you to step in or monitor things manually.
Because Alertify is synced with Hostex booking data, the alert goes directly to the right guest for the right unit, avoiding confusion and saving you time. Hosts using guest alert have seen over 90% of incidents resolved with just a single message, before they escalate or affect the neighbors.
This kind of early intervention reduces the risk of property damage, helps maintain strong relationships with neighbors, and protects your reputation on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.
WelcomeLink: Automated Guest Verification Before Check-In
Guest accountability starts before the stay begins, and WelcomeLink makes that process seamless. This feature, included free with the Hostex and Alertify integration, sends a digital verification form to every guest automatically after booking confirmation.
The form prompts the guest to:
- Upload ID and take a selfie for identity verification
- Acknowledge and sign your house rules and guest agreement
- Purchase extra services with the Upsell feature
This ensures guests stay fully informed and gives you a legally valid digital agreement record.
In today’s climate, hosts often need to prove guest negligence during claims or disputes.
Therefore, WelcomeLink offers a vital layer of protection, without adding work for your team.
Synced Units = Smarter, Faster Incident Reports
Once you connect Hostex with Alertify, all of your properties and unit data are automatically synced. This means every noise or smoking incident is tied directly to the correct unit and guest reservation.
If an incident occurs, Alertify auto-generates an after-incident report que inclui:
- The nature of the violation (e.g., decibel levels, smoking levels)
- Timestamped sensor data
- Full guest details pulled from Hostex (name, contact details, check-in/out dates)
These reports are stored in your Alertify dashboard and can be easily exported or sent to third-party platforms like Airbnb Aircover or your insurance provider.
Why This Integration Matters
As the short-term rental industry becomes more competitive and tightly regulated, operational efficiency and guest accountability have never been more important.
The Hostex and Alertify integration was built to give professional operators the tools they need to:
- Prevent damage before it happens
- Automate guest communication and verification
- Maintain compliance in cities with strict noise ordinances
- Save time with smart reporting and data syncing
If you’re managing multiple units or simply want peace of mind, this integration offers a powerful, scalable way to protect your properties and streamline your workflows.
