Listing Setup 4: Airbnb - Creating a new Listing on Airbnb or connecting an existing.
Listing Setup: Airbnb - The Setup
Connecting Airbnb to OwnerRez involves authorising the integration, choosing your Airbnb channel settings, mapping each OwnerRez property to a new or existing Airbnb listing and setting the sync so OwnerRez manages the listing. House rules can then be managed per property in OwnerRez before the listing is published. Getting these settings right once keeps every channel consistent.

Questions people ask
Can I connect an existing Airbnb listing to OwnerRez?
Yes. During property mapping you can link an OwnerRez property to an existing Airbnb listing or create a new one.
Can I set different house rules for each property in OwnerRez?
Yes. OwnerRez lets you manage channel rules at the property level, which is useful when listings have slightly different rules.
How long does it take for an OwnerRez listing to sync to Airbnb?
It can take some time after publishing, so check the listing on Airbnb once the sync has finished to confirm everything looks right.
