Changelog
The latest features, improvements, and fixes shipped to Hostmatic.
Pinterest & LinkedIn in Social Post Creator
The Social Post Creator now supports five networks — Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Pinterest is especially strong for short-term rentals, where STR content typically performs 5–10× better than on Instagram, and posts are now keyword-optimized for search discovery.
Direct Social Publishing
Publish posts to your connected social accounts straight from Hostmatic — no copy-paste required. Weekend Host connects up to 2 accounts with 30 publishes/month; Pro Host connects up to 3 accounts with 120 publishes/month.
Inactive Social Account Auto-Disconnect
Connected social accounts now auto-disconnect after 90 days of no publishing activity, keeping your seat count clean and your bill predictable. Post history is preserved across reconnects.
Public Listing Audit
Anyone can now paste an Airbnb URL and see a real audit summary — no account required. Full per-section detail and quick-win recommendations unlock with an email reveal, and hosts can share their results via a clean public link.
Tiered WiFi Guest Landing Pages
WiFi QR codes now open a branded landing page on the guest's phone — with email capture and upsell cards (Weekend Host+) and white-label branding (Pro Host). Android opens directly into Wi-Fi settings after copying the password; iOS copies automatically; QR is optimized for Google Lens.
Social Publishing Plan Flag Fix
Fixed three feature flags that weren't reaching live plan configuration, which caused Social Publishing to appear locked for some recently upgraded Weekend Host and Pro Host accounts.
Onboarding Email Drip System
New transactional email sequence for new signups — welcome email, feature nudges at day 3/7/14, and onboarding completion. All emails are sent via Loops transactional API with personalized content.
Security Audit: OAuth & API Hardening
OAuth state parameter signing, API rate limiting, IDOR prevention across all routes, and sanitized error responses. No stack traces or internal details leak to clients.
Social Post Generator: Campaign Tracking & History
Posts now include campaign UTM tags so you can track which social content drives bookings. View your full post history with publish status tracking and title editing.
OTA-Adaptive Dashboard
Dashboard now adapts to your setup — Airbnb-only users see relevant metrics without empty GA4 panels. The layout responds to which integrations you have connected.
Tactile Bio-Digital UI Refresh
Complete visual overhaul across all pages — frosted glass cards, refractive headers, bio-luminescent accents, and new typography with Cormorant Garamond headings. Light and dark themes both fully reworked.
Knowledge Base & Help Center
In-app help center with documentation for all features — link tracking, analytics setup, Airbnb tools, and integrations. Accessible from the sidebar.
Automated Test Suite & CI
Added 110+ automated tests covering security, API routes, and core functionality. Tests run daily via GitHub Actions to catch issues before they reach production.
Live Demo Account
Try Hostmatic without signing up. The demo account shows real-looking data with daily auto-refresh, locked-down settings, and an auto-starting walkthrough tour.
Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Integration
Connect your Meta business pages to see social post performance alongside your other marketing data. Includes OAuth flow, post sync, and insights metrics.
Image Analyzer: Tiered Scanning
Choose between Quick Scan (faster, fewer credits) and Full Scan (detailed analysis with more recommendations). Scoring thresholds refined for more accurate Booking Booster Scores.
Shareable Score Cards
Share your Image Analyzer results with a public score card page. Includes metric tooltips, UTM tracking on shared links, and direct Airbnb listing links.
Device & Browser Analytics for Links
Link performance now breaks down clicks by device type, browser, and referrer source — so you know if your audience is on mobile or desktop, and where they came from.
Feature Discovery Notifications
Contextual in-app notifications that highlight features you haven't tried yet. Non-intrusive nudges to help you get more value from your dashboard.
Position Tracker: Hybrid Credit Pricing
New flexible pricing model for Airbnb position tracking — buy credit packs for scans instead of a flat monthly fee. Scan quantities now vary by plan tier.
Dashboard Walkthrough Tour
Interactive guided tour for new users after onboarding. Highlights key features and shows you where everything is in your dashboard.
Multi-Property & Teams Support
Manage multiple properties from one account. Invite team members with role-based access. Each property gets its own analytics, links, and integrations.
Link Analytics: Unique vs Returning Visitors
See who's actually clicking your links, not just how many times. Link Performance now shows unique visitor counts alongside total clicks, with a breakdown of new vs returning visitors — both in the summary cards and per-link in the table. Powered by server-side fingerprinting so it works without cookies or client-side scripts.
Social Post Generator
AI-powered social media content for your listings. Pick a property, choose a post type — availability, feature spotlight, local guide, seasonal, or last-minute deal — and get a ready-to-post caption tailored for Instagram, Facebook, or X. Includes hashtags, character count validation, and optional tracked short links with UTM tags so you can measure what drives bookings.
WiFi QR Code Generator
New free tool — create professional WiFi QR codes for your vacation rental guests. Guests scan to connect instantly.
Google Rank Checker
Free SERP tool — check where your Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental listing ranks in Google search results.
Airbnb Image Analyzer
