Airbnb checkout reminder

Disclaimer

Airbnb-checkout-reminder will no longer be maintained and it would not work as expected in the future. The reason for this is that it's extremely difficult to bypass Gmail/Airbnb api protections. They uses their own api protection mechanism, such as RECHAPCHA and Airlock. It means your app can suddenly stop working at any moment throwing errors such as 'Cannot find element: xxx timeout 30000s'. I'm currently working on version2 of this app which doesn't uses either Gmail or Airbnb api.

Features

  • It sends predefined check-in/check-out messages at a set time
  • It responds to certain type of messages like reservation-confirmation and sends gmail notification after finishing the job

  6. (Optional) If you want to receive error logs via Gmail notification,
    you can create filter to contain the word "에러" which means "error" in english.

    This is optional step but you'll find this helpful when you can't access Airbnb inbox.

Tips

  1. Use Google Chrome RemoteDesktop service when you're using GCP VMs and want to debug in with GUI.

  2. Transfer files, ex. credentials keys through GoogleDrive when needed.

  3. Manage your node process with PM2. They are definitely goto solution for managing node processes.
