Customer Update & Notification Calls for Short-Term Rental Operators

{"faqs":[{"answer":"A Customer Update & Notification campaign handles it as a single structured calling push. You give us the approved guest list and the one message to deliver, we quote the campaign, and calls run inside approved windows with every outcome dispositioned — confirmed, no answer, or opted out — with per-call notes routed back to your team.","question":"How do I notify vacation rental guests about last-minute changes without messaging each one individually?"},{"answer":"AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, which requires prior express consent. That's why we review your list source and consent records before any campaign launches — if the list won't support the campaign, we tell you plainly before you spend anything. AI disclosure is given on every call, and guests can request a human or opt out at any time.","question":"Can I legally call my STR guests with an AI voice, and what consent do I need?"},{"answer":"Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, plus a one-time campaign setup and a flat monthly management fee — both quoted before launch. There are no per-seat charges and no platform bill, which makes it workable for the 70% of vacation rental companies managing fewer than 20 units. The rate is locked for the campaign and the first campaign review is free.","question":"What does a guest notification calling campaign cost for a small rental portfolio?"},{"answer":"The process moves through campaign review, list and consent review, script and escalation approval, then launch — nothing runs until you approve the script. Once your list, consent records, and script are in place, campaigns launch and run inside approved calling windows with outcomes monitored in real time.","question":"How quickly can a notification campaign launch when a property issue comes up?"},{"answer":"Messaging tools send texts and emails that guests increasingly ignore — a phone call gets heard. My AI Call Center is also a managed service, not software you operate yourself: we run the structured campaign, handle disclosure and opt-outs, and deliver a dispositioned outcome report back into your CRM, so there's no new platform for your team to learn or staff.","question":"How is this different from vacation rental guest communication automation tools like messaging apps?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Campaign Review & Quote","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us what the call needs to accomplish — a check-in update, a maintenance notice, a policy change.
