Airbnb - Map Boost to existing Airbnb listings (Boost Original UI)
Overview
This article is focused on if you have been previously on Airbnb with properties. This article outline the process of “merging” the listings in order to keep the historical data regarding reviews with the newly connected Airbnb Boost listings.
Note if you have not been on Airbnb previously follow this Airbnb - Publish Listings (Boost Original UI)archived
1) Airbnb Account Connection
In order to merge, first we must have an active connection with the Airbnb account you would like to sync with. Once you log in to Boost (https://boost.rezfusion.com/user) you should see this Airbnb connection button. If you are confused about this process please contact your Implementation Specialist.
2) Ensure you listings are not available to be booked
After we have an active connection with your Airbnb account, you will need to temporarily remove availability from any units live on Airbnb to prevent your listings from being booked during the merge process on Rezfusion Boost. You will want to remove availability using your current channel manager. If you do not have a channel manager or if you are unsure on how to do this in your channel manager, you can snooze listings on Airbnb. Please follow the steps below to snooze your listings on Airbnb:
Snooze your listing for a set period of time
To snooze your listing and hide it from search results for a set period of time:
Go to Your listings on airbnb.com and select the listing
Choose the listing you want to update by clicking on the listing name or clicking the three dots icon
Click Edit
On the listing page, scroll down to Listing status and click Edit
On the Listing status page, click on Change Status and choose Snoozed from the dropdown menu
Enter the start and end dates, then click Save
You can snooze your listing for up to 6 months from the current date. Your listing will automatically reactivate when the timeframe you set is over. The day before your listing reactivates, you'll get a reminder email.
3) Airbnb Listings Mapping
Once your Airbnb listings are snoozed and we are connected with your Airbnb account, navigate to My Software Connections and look for Airbnb Listings Mapping
4) Mapping Listings Airbnb to Boost
Inside this navigation you will find a Connect Airbnb Listings with three columns Airbnb ID, Airbnb Listing Name, & Map to Boost Listing.
Map each Airbnb Listing to the corresponding Boost Listing by clicking Select Unit To Map
Available to search by unit name or PMS id once the unit name has appeared to map to Airbnb, click select button
Go through the list until you have selected all listings you wish to merge
5) Confirm & Save
Once you have confirmed a merge process, you cannot unmerge the listings. Please confirm listings have been selected correctly.
Navigate to the bottom of the screen and hit save.
A prompt will appear asking you to confirm the connection
