Booking Automation Check list
Rates
Its always good to have your base rates saved somewhere because during the integration process, the channel ( airbnb. booking.com) rates are going to get wiped off and you will need to re enter the rates in booking automation.
Availability
We are going to import all existing bookings hence it will automatically block off the calendar if a booking have been all ready generated. But if there are manual calender blocks like maintenance, owners requesting to block certain days of the property, direct walk ins, this needs to be noted down somewhere to manually block the booking automation calendar
Airbnb
We need owners access of all airbnb accounts, inorder to import and sync properties from airbnb. If you have a co hosting account, we CANNOT go ahead with the onboarding
