Check hotel reservations and guest check-ins on Booking.com
A small-hotel owner in Riga runs scheduled Cowork tasks that use Claude in Chrome to check reservations and verify check-ins in the Booking.com admin panel. Task: Suggested implementation: A hotel owner uses Claude in Chrome within Cowork to automate daily checks of Booking.com reservations and guest check-ins. The workflow involves opening the admin panel, verifying data, and handling permission dialogs. Human role: The owner must manually click 'Allow' on browser permission dialogs for each scheduled run, as approvals are not persisted.; tools: Claude Cowork, Claude in Chrome. Human role: The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.; limitations: Prerequisites include access to the Booking.com admin panel and the Claude in Chrome extension. A key constraint is the non-persistent permission dialog, requiring human approval for every execution.

Overview
A small-hotel owner in Riga runs scheduled Cowork tasks that use Claude in Chrome to check reservations and verify check-ins in the Booking.com admin panel.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: A hotel owner uses Claude in Chrome within Cowork to automate daily checks of Booking.com reservations and guest check-ins. The workflow involves opening the admin panel, verifying data, and handling permission dialogs. Human role: The owner must manually click 'Allow' on browser permission dialogs for each scheduled run, as approvals are not persisted.
Reported result
The automated tasks execute successfully but require manual intervention for permission approvals on every run. While Claude identified the root cause of the permission issue, no permanent fix was applied because the Chrome extension is closed-source. Actual time savings or error rates are unknown and require measurement.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include access to the Booking.com admin panel and the Claude in Chrome extension. A key constraint is the non-persistent permission dialog, requiring human approval for every execution. Source reliability is low as the original article is inaccessible (HTTP 403), and details about the extension's internal debugging are truncated.
Try it
Act as a hotel operations manager. I want to pilot a daily automated check of Booking.com reservations using Claude in Chrome. Inputs: [Booking.com Admin URL], [Reservation Date Range], [Hotel Name]. Steps: 1. Configure a daily Cowork task to open the Booking.com admin panel. 2. Instruct Claude to navigate to the reservations section and verify guest check-in status for the specified dates. 3. Monitor the execution for browser permission dialogs. 4. Manually click 'Allow' on the permission dialog when it appears, as this step cannot be automated. 5. Capture the output summary of checked reservations. Deliverables: A daily report listing verified reservations and any anomalies. Quality Check: Compare the automated report against a manual check for one day to ensure accuracy. Safeguards: Do not modify any reservation data; read-only access only. Confirm the permission dialog behavior before scheduling recurring tasks. If the dialog persists despite 'Allow', pause the task and investigate. Measure Success: Time saved per day compared to manual checking. If inputs are missing, ask for the specific Booking.com URL and date range before proceeding.
