Agent shortlet workflow
Agents can operate shortlets for owned or delegated landlord inventory:
- `/host` -> **Shortlet** -> **Bookings** for incoming/upcoming stays
- `/host` -> **Shortlet** -> **Availability & pricing** for nightly rules
- `/host/shortlets/blocks` for manual date blocks
Operating checklist (daily)
- Keep listing intent as **Shortlet** for bookable stays.
- Ensure nightly pricing is configured per listing.
- Review pending requests throughout the day.
- Confirm or decline quickly with a clear reason when needed.
- Escalate payout questions with booking + payout references.
Manual payout model (pilot)
- No automatic host transfer yet.
- Admin payout queue handles settlement after eligible date.
- Use references and notes for auditability.
Troubleshooting
- **Request status conflict**: another action already processed the booking.
- **Availability mismatch**: overlapping booking/block prevented confirmation.
- **Missing payout**: confirm booking status and check-in threshold first.
- **Cannot edit pricing**: verify delegation scope or listing ownership.
Success tips
- Standardize response SLAs with your team.
- Use concise decline reasons for better guest recovery.
- Keep shortlet calendars clean to avoid false availability.
