# Airbnb

## Prerequisites

* Airbnb login for the correct account
* Owner present to approve OAuth if needed

## 1) Log In and Authorize

1. Confirm you’re logged into the correct Airbnb account
2. Start the connection from Hostel Mate (Channel Manager)
3. Approve access in Airbnb when prompted (OAuth)

## 2) Map and Verify

1. After authorization, open the mapping page
2. Match Airbnb listings to your rooms and rates
3. Push a small price change and confirm it on Airbnb

## Tips

* Password changes after connecting will not break the integration
* Make sure duplicate iCal feeds are removed to prevent conflicts

## Troubleshooting

* No listings after OAuth: refresh the page, then re-open mapping
* Authorization loop: log out of Airbnb, log back in, and retry
