Late checkout vs. early arrival conflict list (n8n recipe)

Outcome: Housekeeping gets a prioritized list each morning of rooms where a late checkout collides with an early arrival.

What you need

• Daily arrivals and departures reports (CSV) from the PMS
• n8n
• Slack, Teams or email

Steps

1. Schedule Trigger: 6:30 AM daily.
2. Read the arrivals and departures files (email attachment or shared drive).
3. Code node: join on room type; flag departures with late checkout and arrivals with ETA before standard check-in.
4. Code node: rank by arrival time and VIP flag; suggest swap rooms of the same type that are already vacant.
5. Send the list to the housekeeping and front desk channel; repeat at 11:00 AM with updates.
