This article outlines the steps for publishing and unpublishing listings on the Boost Partner Network. Listings must be published to the Partner Network and then added to each Partner Network connected channel/OTA.
Overview
There are 3 main steps to complete when publishing your listings:
Prepare your listing to be published
Does your listing pass validation confirming that it meets the Partner Network minimum content standards?
Do you need to make edits to your property headlines, add a price-adjustment, or any other configuration changes in Boost?
Publish your listing to the Partner Network
Publish your listing to the desired Partner Network Channel (ex: Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Hopper, ETC)
Preparing a Listing to be Published
Its important to make sure your listing(s) is meeting the Partner Network requirements. Also, if you need to add some listing configurations in Boost, we suggest you do this before publishing. Please review ALL of your other property settings in Boost BEFORE publishing it.
Minimum Content Requirements:
All Partner Network channels require listings to meet the minimum content requirements. Learn More here: Partner Network - Minimum Content Requirements (Beta)
Boost has a built in validation tool to make sure your listings are meeting the above requirements before you publish them. Learn more here: Listing Validations (Boost New UI)
Common Configurations added in Boost
If you need to make any edits/configurations to your listings in Boost, make sure to do that before publishing. Here are some common examples:
Headline/Title Pattern
Cancelation Policy - Can be set for all listings and on the listing level
Price Adjustments - If you have set a mark-up in Boost on rent and/or fees
Important Note
Partner Network listing Headlines/Names must be no less than 20 characters and no more than 70 characters. If they exceed 70 characters Boost will automatically truncate them which may result in a less than optimal appearance on the live listing.
Publish to the Partner Network
If you have recently added new properties in your PMS, they will flow into Boost, but they will not be automatically published to the Partner Network and its connected channels (Marriott, Hopper, Etc)
Step 1. Log into Boost here: Rezfusion Boost and navigate to the Partner Network Listings Page.
Please note that you will only be able to successfully distribute listings that have an active PMS status. You will not be able to distribute inactive properties.
Step 2. Select Properties: Click the boxes next to the listing(s) you would like to distribute or check the box at the top of top to select all the listings in your current view.

You’ve now completed distributing listings on the Boost Partner Network - move to the 2nd step below to Add your properties to specific channel
Add Listings to a Partner Network Channel
Step 1. Navigate to the Partner Network Channel you are adding listings to.
Log into Boost here : https://boost.rezfusion.com/v2/app/login

if any of the listings are not valid, Boost will provide a Quality Check report that can be downloaded detailing what issues are present.
Step 4. Publish Properties
For properties that ARE ready to publish, you will be given the option to add a channel-specific markup for each of them.
You can then Click the Publish properties button. The published properties then enter a Pending status.
The channel reviews your properties and their status will be updated automatically
Mission Complete!
Important Info for Hopper Listings
Be sure to log into your Hopper host portal and turn on Auto Activate. If turned off, you would need to log in to Hopper and enable any new listings they push in order to set it live. But if turned on, once you push a new property from Boost, it will automatically go live on Hopper.
Unpublishing Listings on the Partner Network
Before deactivating a listing in your PMS, we highly suggest that you unpublish that listing in Boost to make it inactive on the Channel.
Unpublishing a listing from the Partner Network Listings page will unpublish that listing from all connected PN Channels. You can also unpublish on the PN Channel level.
Unpublishing on All Partner Network Channels
Step 1. Select each listing you'd like unpublished by checking the checkbox and clicking the Actions button, then Distribute
Step 2. Select Unpublish from channel from the drop down and click Next
Step 3. On the next screen, click Finish
Step 4. Once the unpublish Job has completed, run the Import/Sync on all unpublished listings.
Removing Listings from a Specific Partner Network Channel
Step 1. Navigate to the PN channel you wish to unpublish the listing from and click Manage Listings
Step 2. Find the listing on the Property Settings Tab
Step 3. Click the three dots and select Remove property then click Save
