Action Center

What is Action Center?

Action Center is your centralized hub for important alerts, recommendations, and tasks related to your listings.

Instead of checking multiple pages, Action Center brings all listing-related actions together in one place, helping you quickly identify issues, review recommendations, and keep your listings optimized.

Action Center is updated daily and reflects the latest information available for your listings.

Where Can I Find Action Center?

You can access Action Center from several places within PriceLabs:

Dedicated Action Center Page

View alerts and actions across all of your listings in a single location.


Portfolio Dashboard and Multi-Calendar

A dedicated Action Center column highlights listing-specific actions directly within your portfolio views.

  1. Portfolio Dashboard
  2. Multi-Calendar

Review Prices and Calendar Page

Each listing's calendar includes an Action Center section that displays actions and recommendations relevant to that specific listing.

How Does Action Center Work?

Action Center continuously monitors your listings for potential issues, missing information, and optimization opportunities.

When the Action Center identifies something that may require your attention, it creates an alert or recommendation. These alerts are refreshed daily and may also update based on actions you take within PriceLabs.

Selecting an alert opens additional details, including information about the issue and steps you can take to resolve it.

Before any alert can appear

  1. Your listing must be syncing prices with PriceLabs.
  2. Alerts refresh when your listing syncs — they reflect your current setup, not a one-time snapshot.

Available Actions and Alerts

Action Center currently includes the following alerts and recommendations:

Missing Listing Information

These alerts help ensure your listing has the information needed for accurate pricing recommendations. These mean something basic is missing. Without it, PriceLabs can’t price or compare your listing as well as it should.
  1. Base Price Missing (available for trial users)
    1. Why we show it: A base price is the starting point for your rates. Without one, recommendations are much less reliable.
    2. When it appears: During your free trial, in the first week after you start, if the listing still has no base price — and either you just started syncing (within the first 3 days) or you haven’t had a booking in the last 10 days. This mainly applies to smaller accounts (about 50 listings or fewer) on the main parent listing.
  2. Bedroom Count Missing
    1. Why we show it: Bedroom count helps us compare you to similar listings in your market.
    2. When it appears: Your listing doesn’t have a bedroom count saved in PriceLabs.
  3. Location Missing
    1. Why we show it: Your listing’s location powers market data and neighborhood comparisons.
    2. When it appears: Latitude/longitude is missing, invalid, or set to 0,0.

Configuration Issues

These appear when your listing’s near-term occupancy looks weak and a setting may be holding you back. We only show them if bookings for the next ~30 days look low (under about 10% occupancy, or clearly below your neighborhood).
  1. Occupancy Based Adjustments (OBA) turned off
    1. Why we show it: OBA automatically adjusts prices as your calendar fills or empties. It can help you stay competitive.
    2. When it appears: OBA looks “on” in settings but is effectively disabled (using a default that doesn’t actually adjust prices), and your near-term occupancy is underperforming. Shown for smaller accounts (about 50 listings or fewer).
  2. Last-minute settings too conservative
    1. Why we show it: Last-minute discounts help fill dates that are close to check-in. If yours are weaker than what similar listings use, you may miss bookings.
    2. When it appears: Last-minute factor is off, or your custom discount is smaller or shorter than our market recommendation — and near-term occupancy is underperforming. Shown for smaller accounts (about 50 listings or fewer).
  3. Minimum stay higher than market
    1. Why we show it: If your minimum stay is longer than what guests typically book in your area, you can block shorter stays and lose revenue.
    2. When it appears: Your weekday or weekend minimum stay is higher than our recommendation, near-term occupancy is underperforming, and you’re not already using a market-driven min-stay profile.
    3. Heads up: Minimum stay suggestions are based on market booking patterns. They may not fit every property — for example, if your building or city requires a 2-night minimum, you may not be able to follow the suggestion. We’re working on better ways to handle cases like that.

Calendar and Availability Alerts

These alerts highlight potential issues with your calendar availability.
  1. Many blocked dates
    1. Why we show it: Blocked dates can’t be booked. Too many open up in the next year can mean lost revenue.
    2. When it appears: More than 3 blocked dates in the next 12 months. Only shown if your PMS sends block data to PriceLabs (many major PMS integrations do; some don’t).
  2. Many unbookable dates
    1. Why we show it: “Unbookable” means the date looks open but guests can’t actually book it — often because of stay rules (minimum nights, gap rules, etc.).
    2. When it appears: More than 3 unbookable days in the future on your calendar.

Pricing Recommendations

These alerts suggest pricing updates based on PriceLabs recommendations.
  1. Base Price Recommendation
  2. Minimum Price Recommendation

Bulk Actions

Some alerts support bulk actions, allowing you to resolve multiple listings at once. For example, you can review and accept Base Price Recommendations for multiple listings without updating each one individually.
