Example Workflows

Here are a few ideas to help you get started:

Vacation Rental Management: When a new booking is made in your vacation rental software, a corresponding booking is automatically created in Keycafe. If that booking is updated or canceled, the changes are automatically reflected in Keycafe, ensuring real-time accuracy with guest access management.

Google Sheets Integration: Want to keep a centralized record of your keys? When a new row is added to a Google Sheet (perhaps for new properties or new key sets), a key can be automatically created in Keycafe, keeping your digital and physical key inventories perfectly in sync.

Guest Check-ins (Channel Manager or Calendar): When a new booking is confirmed in your channel manager or a new event is added to your Google Calendar for a guest check-in, Zapier can automatically trigger Keycafe to "Create Access to a Key" for the guest, sending them their unique access code.

Property Showings (CRM or Scheduling Tool): If you use a CRM like Salesforce or a dedicated scheduling tool for property showings, a new appointment created within that system could automatically "Create Access to a Key" in Keycafe for the real estate agent or prospective buyer.

Service Appointments (Service Management Software): For maintenance or cleaning services, a new service appointment scheduled in your management software can automatically "Create Access to a Key" for the service provider, ensuring they have access when needed.
