Create a property via Airbnb Read-Only Mode

Updated

The read-only mode connection is designed only for importing data from existing Airbnb listings into RentalReady. It ensures that listing details can be transferred legally and efficiently before the synchronisation.

 

When you have the permission to use read-only mode, you can connect an existing Airbnb account and import listings details such as:

  • Bedrooms and property details

  • Amenities

  • Address details

  • Photos

  • License number

  • Property description

  • Wi-Fi information

  • Access instructions

This allows existing listings to be created as a property in RentalReady without manually re-entering all the information.

 

⚠️ Important:

  • This feature must be used before doing the synchronisation with full sync mode

  • The connection is strictly for one-time data import

  • It does not enable any synchronization between RentalReady and Airbnb

 

Process to follow

Step 1. Create the owner

Before connecting the Airbnb account, you must create the owner

This ensures that the imported listings are correctly associated with the appropriate owner profile.

 

Step 2. Connect RentalReady and Airbnb (Read-Only Mode)

Connect to the Airbnb account on which you wish to connect.

Make sure the Airbnb page is open in the same window in which you are logged into your RentalReady account.

 

From the main menu, go to Portfolio > Properties

Click on Connect new listing

Select Airbnb and click on continue

 

Click on Connect as read-only to import properties

Select all of your offices and click on Continue

 

Click on the red button connect with Airbnb

 

You will be redirected to a page on the Airbnb website, click on red button Allow to confirm the connection

The Airbnb account is connected to RentalReady!

 

Step 3. Import the listings

After the Airbnb account is successfully connected, you can import directly the listings.

N.B.: If you leave this page before doing the import, you just need to go back to this page and click on Bulk import from Airbnb button

 

Select the office where you want to create properties on and click on Next

 

Select the Airbnb account where the properties you want to import are published on and click on Next

 

Select the listing(s) to import (you can do multiple at once)
