Learn about Autohost Stargate
Autohost Stargate is an email relay system.
Its purpose is to act as a gatekeeper in your online communications with guests, which allows Autohost's Screening AI to complete a risk analysis on the guest. The results of this analysis will determine where or not to release the check-in instructions.
Stargate uses verification-dependent filters to release (or withhold) specific messages (i.e. check-in instructions or house manuals).
To learn more about Stargate, refer to this help center article.
This is your current message flow:
Streamline > Guest
Your pre-check-in messages to guests are set up and sent by Streamline.
This is your new message flow:
Streamline > Autohost > Guest
Your pre-check-in messages to guests will first pass through Autohost Stargate, to ensure the right conditions are met before the messages are released to the guest.
For a visual representation of message flows, refer to this messaging flow chart.

Congratulations! You have just created two new communication documents on Streamline. Next, we will test the Autohost - Streamline workflow to ensure we are ready for our launch day. Feel free to contact your Onboarding Specialist to book your go-live date.
Access your unique Autohost Stargate ID email address by following this link. You will find it under the Stargate tab.
- If your Guest Portal is hosted on a white-labelled URL, be sure to insert it in place of the generic link (https://verifyhub.org). For info, contact your Autohost Account Manager.
- Each message sent through Stargate must have an #AHP# code snippet.
- Each code snippet must be unique. If two messages have identical code snippets, Stargate will be forced to ignore one of them.
- A message can have only one #AHP# code snippet. If you need to send multiple messages, you may create separate messages, and add a new code snippet.
- The #AHP# code snippet must be the last line of text.
