Properties, reservations and guest threads
Hostaway
Webhooks and scheduled sync keep the booking context current, and guest replies return to the original Hostaway conversation.

Who this stack is for
Hostaway teams that rely on PriceLabs for dynamic pricing and want staff to ask questions or approve exceptional changes from Slack.
The coordination problem
The booking context is in Hostaway, the nightly recommendation is in PriceLabs and the commercial decision is made in Slack. Staff lose time opening tabs just to answer an owner, explain an empty weekend or apply a temporary bound after the team has agreed.
The answer
One workflow, with clear system ownership
Proptonomy brings the relevant reservation and pricing context into the same operational conversation. PriceLabs remains the pricing engine, Hostaway remains the PMS, and Slack remains the internal approval channel. Price changes happen only when an authorised teammate explicitly asks for them.
Recommended prices and listing bounds
PriceLabs
The AI can read recommended prices and bounds, explain them to staff or owners, and apply an explicit, authorised change.
How PriceLabs connectsTeam questions, exceptions and approvals
Slack
The right channel receives the decision with the relevant figures, and a teammate can approve or ask a follow-up without leaving Slack.
How Slack connectsExample workflow
From incoming question to confirmed outcome
The stack matters only if the same operational record survives the handoff between tools and people.
- 1
A pricing question arrives
An owner or teammate asks why a weekend is empty or what the current rate is. The Hostaway listing and reservation context identify the exact unit and dates.
- 2
PriceLabs supplies the numbers
Proptonomy reads the recommended price and current minimum, maximum or base bounds for that listing instead of inventing an answer.
- 3
Slack holds the decision
If a change is proposed, the facts and the exact before-and-after values go to the authorised team channel for an explicit instruction.
- 4
The action is logged
An approved PriceLabs change is applied and confirmed with what changed. PriceLabs still pushes rates to Hostaway through its normal connection.
Boundaries
What each tool continues to own
A trustworthy integration explains the non-goals as clearly as the data flow. These boundaries prevent duplicate records and unexpected writes.
Hostaway owns the reservation
The operation does not migrate away from Hostaway, and Proptonomy does not edit listings or reservations as part of this workflow.
PriceLabs owns the rate engine
Proptonomy reads and acts on selected PriceLabs controls; it does not replace PriceLabs forecasting or its channel-manager sync.
People approve exceptional changes
Reading is safe by default. Changing a pricing bound or override requires an explicit request from an authorised teammate and leaves an audit trail.
Rollout
Connect, observe, then enable
The exact credentials differ by system, but the safe operating sequence stays the same.
- 1
Connect the sources
Connect Hostaway, PriceLabs, Slack with the credentials or partner flow described on each integration page.
- 2
Confirm the matches
Check that properties, reservations, partner chats and external records resolve to the same operational entity before any write action is enabled.
- 3
Review observe-mode work
Let the AI read current traffic, draft answers and show proposed actions. Correct property knowledge and routing while nothing is sent automatically.
- 4
Enable one boundary at a time
Turn on the inboxes and actions the team trusts, while sensitive categories and less-tested properties remain behind approval.
FAQ
Hostaway + PriceLabs + Slack FAQ
Direct answers, written to stand on their own in search and AI results.
Does Proptonomy replace PriceLabs?
No. PriceLabs remains the pricing engine and continues pushing rates to Hostaway. Proptonomy makes its recommendations available inside operational questions and can apply an authorised bound or override.
Can the AI change prices on its own?
Not in this workflow. It can read and explain pricing data by default. A base, minimum, maximum or date override is changed only after an authorised teammate explicitly asks for it.
Do guest messages still go through Hostaway?
Yes. Guest conversations sync from Hostaway and approved or enabled replies go back to the same thread through Hostaway.
Why connect Slack as well?
Slack gives the internal team a familiar place for exceptions, pricing approvals and follow-up questions while the reservation and rate evidence stays attached to the decision.
