# GleamSync - Vacation Rental Cleaning Management

## What is GleamSync?

GleamSync is a SaaS application that helps vacation rental property managers coordinate cleaning schedules with their cleaners. It syncs calendars from Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com, plus any other calendar that publishes an iCal link, detects booking changes, and automatically notifies cleaners about upcoming turnovers.

## Key Features

- Calendar sync with daily automatic sync. Four calendar slots per property: Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and one "Other" slot for any calendar that publishes an iCal link
- The Other slot works with property managers and channel tools such as Hostaway, Evolve and OwnerRez, or a personal Google Calendar used for direct bookings. There is no integration to set up; if it gives you a calendar link, it works
- The owner names the Other calendar, and that name is shown on the cleaning schedule, the calendar and the cleaner's job list
- Booking.com publishes availability, not reservations. There is no guest name and no guest count, and every entry looks the same, so GleamSync cannot tell a booking apart from dates the owner blocked themselves. Both get a clean scheduled, which is usually what the owner wants
- Booking change detection across multiple fields (new, modified, cancelled)
- Manual cleans for jobs not tied to an iCal booking (direct bookings, mid-stay cleans, open dates)
- Automated email, SMS (U.S. & Canada phone numbers), and WhatsApp (worldwide) notifications (cleaning window, deadline, guest arrival alerts)
- SMS notifications are available for U.S. and Canadian phone numbers. WhatsApp is the notification channel for cleaners everywhere else in the world, and email works everywhere.
- Unassigned clean alerts for owners (escalating reminders)
- Owner copies of cleaner notifications with per-type toggles
- Multi-property management with per-property settings
- Cleaner assignment and scheduling
- Default cleaner auto-assignment (new synced bookings are automatically assigned to a property's default cleaner)
- Pending cleaner system (add cleaners before they register)
- Flexible fee system for the cleaning fees owners pay their cleaners (per-property default fees, per-property cleaner rates, per-clean overrides, one-time fee add-ons)
- Payment and earnings tracking (mark cleans paid or unpaid, totals by month, property, and cleaner, with history that survives property deletion)
- Cleaning status tracking (upcoming, pending, and completed)
- Smart clean window calculation (checkout to next check-in)
- Configurable clean deadlines per property
- Mobile-friendly cleaner portal
- One-tap clean completion from notification links (cleaners mark jobs done without logging in)
- Calendar feed subscriptions for cleaners (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook)
- Per-property calendar feed subscriptions for owners (all cleans with cleaner assignments)
- Custom notes per clean
- Defensive sync (suspicious feeds are held, not blindly applied)
