Step by Step: Activate an Accommodation
Go to Channel PRO
Access the Activation of Accommodations tab
Switch to Airbnb on the Menu
You will see the list of active properties in Avantio (VRMS). Select the accommodation you want to publish.
Click the activation button and fill in the fields:
Associated account: if you have more than one Airbnb account associated in ChannelPRO, select the account you want to sync the accommodation with
Type of listing: create a new listing or link the property to an existing one. If you select this second option, you will see in Associated listings all existing Airbnb listings that are assigned to the previously selected account
Click Accept to activate your property
When you activate a property, the default settings you previously configured during the portal connection are automatically applied to that accommodation. If you wish to adjust these settings for specific accommodations, you can do so from the configuration menu of each individual property.
In the menu for each property, you will also find the option to add the Minimum nights stay required by Airbnb for properties subject to regulatory restrictions.
If no restrictions apply in your area, you don’t need to change anything. Simply keep the default setting (0 nights).
Important Tip: To re-apply the default settings of the portal configuration, click on the "Use company settings" icon:
Step by Step: Deactivate an Accommodation
Access the "Activation of accommodations" tab
Switch to Airbnb on the Menu
Click on the activation/deactivation button to start the deactivation
You will now need to indicate to Airbnb the reason for the deactivation. The system will show you a dropdown with reasons and sub-reasons (example: "My space is not available" > "I'm moving").
When you select "Other reasons," a text field will open for you to explain them
Click on disconnect to confirm
IMPORTANT
When you deactivate a property, synchronisation stops and the listing is unpublished from Airbnb. Additionally, Avantio will no longer appear as software connected to the API, meaning you can manage the listing manually on Airbnb if you wish.
Change the Association of a Property
Did you activate an accommodation with the wrong ID? No problem:
Deactivate the accommodation first and then re-activate it selecting the correct Airbnb listing to associate.
Remember that the previous listing will remain published on Airbnb, but it will no longer be updated from Avantio. You will need to deactivate or delete it directly on Airbnb.
