n8n Expert Needed: Hostex to Google Sheets Sync + Reservation Webhooks + Room Closeout Logic

Job ID: 40310400

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

Project Description:
I need an n8n expert to build an automation that connects Hostex with Google Sheets for my short-term rental business.
The project has 3 main parts:
1. Full reservation backfill
Pull all reservations from Hostex from January 1, 2026 forward and write them into a Google Sheet.
The sheet should include the main reservation details such as:
Reservation ID
Guest name
Property / room
Check-in date
Check-out date
Status
Channel / OTA source
Total amount if available
Number of guests
Created date
Modified date
Any other important reservation fields available from Hostex
2. Ongoing live updates using webhook or equivalent event-based sync
After the backfill is complete, I want the system to automatically update the Google Sheet whenever there is:
A new reservation
A modification / change to an existing reservation
A cancellation
The workflow should update the correct row in Google Sheets instead of creating duplicates whenever possible.
3. Room closeout logic
I also need logic to automatically close out certain rooms based on rules/conditions.
This may involve things like:
Blocking specific rooms under certain conditions
Closing availability for selected units
Triggering closeout logic based on reservation status, dates, occupancy, or manual rules
Possibly writing these rules from a control sheet or config area in Google Sheets
I want someone who can help design the cleanest and most reliable approach here.
What I need from you:
Build the n8n workflow(s)
Set up Hostex API integration
Connect everything to Google Sheets
Handle the initial data backfill
Set up real-time or near-real-time updates
Prevent duplicate rows
Make the workflow reliable with basic error handling
Clearly document how it works so I can maintain it later
Preferred experience:
Strong n8n experience
API integrations
Webhooks
Google Sheets automation
Experience with PMS / booking / reservation systems is a plus
Experience with Hostex is a big plus
Nice to have:
Ability to suggest the best sheet structure
Ability to make the workflow scalable for more properties later
Experience with reservation sync logic, cancellations, and availability controls
Deliverables:
Working n8n workflow JSON export
Google Sheet structure/template
Setup instructions
Testing to confirm backfill, new reservations, modifications, and cancellations all work correctly
Room closeout logic implemented and explained
When applying, please include:
Your experience with n8n and API integrations
Whether you’ve worked with Hostex or similar PMS tools before
Examples of similar automations you’ve built
Your estimated timeline and fixed price
You can also add this at the bottom if you want to filter out weaker applicants:
Important:
Please do not apply unless you are confident with n8n, APIs, webhooks, Google Sheets, and data syncing logic. I am looking for someone who can build this properly and cleanly, not just a basic proof of concept.
Here’s a stronger version with a more serious tone:
Budget note:
This is not a simple one-step automation. It includes API backfill, webhook/event handling, update logic, deduplication, and room closeout rules. Please bid accordingly.
