Check daily hotel bookings and check-ins with a scheduled browser task

Idea + starter prompt, not run by us yet

For: Small hotel and guesthouse owners who check Booking.com by hand every day

A small hotel owner in Riga has Cowork run a scheduled task each day that goes into the Booking.com admin area, reviews bookings and confirms whether guests have checked in. Every run raised a permission pop-up he had to click. Claude helped find the cause, but nothing could be patched.

Steps

1. Write a short checklist of what you look for in the admin panel each day.
2. Run the task by hand once and watch every click.
3. Schedule it only after the manual run looks right.
4. Plan to approve a browser pop-up on every run, because the approval did not stick.
5. Have it report findings only, and make any booking changes yourself.

Starter prompt

Each morning, open my [booking platform] admin panel in the browser and check:
1. New reservations since yesterday.
2. Guests due to check in today and whether they are marked as checked in.
3. Anything that looks wrong, such as double bookings.

Write a short report with what you found. Do not accept, cancel or change any booking. Do not message guests. If a permission pop-up or login page appears, stop and tell me. Never ask me to paste passwords here.
