What is the difference between merge or import?
Merging allows you to combine an existing property with an Airbnb listing without affecting the set up you've already made.
Importing as a new listing will establish a new list of property in our system for your Airbnb listing.
Important! Always use "merge" when you have an existing property in your account. Creating multiple properties of the same address will create issues when it comes to jobs and payments.
Import a new property from your Airbnb account
Merge a property with an existing property with a listing from Airbnb
Select an Airbnb listing from the Selected Airbnb listings container and
Select the property you want to merge with from the Existing properties container
Click on the Merge button
You will see a pop-up message for you to
- Select the name that you would like to keep
- Select the address you would like to keep
Click on the Confirm button and you will see the property you have merged located in the Imported properties container.
Configuring your merged/imported property
Select My Properties on the menu bar
- To configure your property, click on the edit button under the settings column.
- Toggle the services on/off or adjust the details to further customise the services. Remember to save your changes once you’re done.
Note: Toggling the services will automatically pull relevant bookings linked to your imported properties. For example, turning on key exchange services will only create key exchange jobs under your bookings.
How can I tell if the property is connected to Airbnb?
On My Properties page, if the property is connected you will see “Connected” under the “Integration” column and the email address of your Airbnb account under Connected Accounts | While editing your property, you will also be able to see a “Connected” label with an Airbnb icon next to your property name |
Note: If your property is NOT connected, there will be no synced bookings in the KeyNinja system unless you manually booked them in.
Airbnb Sync issues
It is important to keep track and resolve all synced issues found on the Issues page. You can note the count of issues to resolve next to the menu link. There are 4 types of issues:
- Token expired - Airbnb will refresh their token every once in a while to ensure your accounts are kept secure. You will need to follow the types to reconnect on KeyNinja.
- Alteration - This occurs when your reservation when an alteration request has been made on your Airbnb platform. Please resolve the issue on KeyNinja platform to match the altered reservation.
- Overlapping - This occurs when there are overlapping dates of 2 different reservations. This can occur when there is a previous booking made manually (not synced) and it intersects with a synced Airbnb booking.
- Canceled - All synced cancellations from Airbnb will automatically mark KeyNinja bookings as “Cancelled”. You will also get an email sent to your email.
Note: KeyNinja will pull data from Airbnb at hourly intervals so it will take some time for new bookings to come in. If you need assistance with a last minute booking, please reach out to our support team.
