Known limits
What to expect from the Hostfully connection today, so the demo starts from the real picture.
Reservation changes and new guest messages from Hostfully reach Trellis as they happen. Properties, availability, and reviews are brought fully up to date when you connect, once every night, and whenever you ask.
When a guest message arrives, Trellis reads the whole conversation before answering, so a reply can trail the guest's message by a moment.
Hostfully limits how fast conversations can be read, so Trellis loads them at about 30 a minute. Bringing over a large inbox the first time takes a while.
