Automations create tasks for you when specific events occur at your property. Instead of manually creating a cleaning task after every checkout or a maintenance task every time a sensor goes offline, Minut handles this for you so nothing gets missed even when you're not watching the app.
There are three automations. Two are on by default. One must be turned on manually.
The three automations
Check-out clean
Off by default - Triggers a cleaning task when a stay ends
Trigger: Stay ends (checkout). The task is created when the stay is scheduled - not at the moment of checkout- so it appears in your task list in advance.
Due time: Checkout time of the stay
Auto-complete: No; must be marked as done manually by the assignee
Auto-assign: Yes; you can set a default assignee in the automation settings. The same person is assigned every time.
Applies to: All units. Requires a stay to be in the system- connected via Airbnb, PMS, or added manually.
Low battery
On by default - Triggers a task when a sensor battery is low
Trigger: Sensor battery drops to a low level
Due time: Set at creation; gives you time to send someone to charge the sensor before it goes offline
Auto-complete: Yes- completed automatically once the sensor is charged and back on the mounting plate. No manual action needed.
Auto-assign: Yes- configurable in the automation settings
Applies to: All sensors across all units in the organisation
Unmonitored unit
On by default - Triggers a task when a unit has been offline for 48 hours
Trigger: A unit has been offline (sensor disconnected) for at least 48 hours
Due time: Set at creation
Auto-complete: Yes- completed automatically once the sensor comes back online. No manual action needed.
Auto-assign: Yes- configurable in the automation settings
Applies to: All units in the organisation
Enable the Check-out clean automation
Mobile app
Tap the Tasks tab → tap Automations
Tap Check-out clean → toggle it on
Set a default assignee if you want cleaning tasks automatically assigned to a specific team member
You can change the assignee on individual tasks after they are created without affecting the automation default
Web app
Click Tasks in the left navigation → click Automations
Find Check-out clean and toggle it on
Set a default assignee and click Save
Customise automation tasks
Each automation uses a linked task configuration- a preset title, type, description, and checklist that is applied every time the automation fires. You can customise these to match your specific process.
Go to Tasks → Automations → tap or click the automation you want to edit
Edit the title, description, or checklist — for example, add a step-by-step checkout clean checklist so your cleaners have consistent instructions every time
Click Save. Your customisation applies to all future tasks created by this automation.
Add a checklist to the Check-out clean automation. The most common use of automation customisation is adding a cleaning checklist- strip beds, empty bins, restock toiletries, check sensor is charging, and so on. Write it once and every auto-created cleaning task includes it automatically.
See Creating and managing tasks for checklist setup.
