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
