If you’ve ever wished for more flexibility when managing your Airbnb listings while connected to Sympl, you’re going to love our Airbnb 2-Way API Sync.
Previously, Airbnb listings connected to Sympl could only be updated from within the channel manager—meaning you had to log into Sympl to make changes to your pricing, policies, or rules. Now, with our 2-way API sync, that limitation is gone.
You can now make supported updates directly on Airbnb—via the Airbnb website or app—and those changes will automatically sync back to Sympl, just like they would from Sympl to Airbnb. This gives you the freedom to manage your listing in the way that’s most convenient, while keeping everything up to date across both platforms.
Whether you're updating your base rate while on the go or adjusting guest policies from Airbnb's mobile app, those changes will now reflect in Sympl automatically. Plus, you'll get early access to Airbnb’s newest features as they roll out, even before Sympl fully supports them.
What Can Be Synced?
2-way sync is currently supported for your Booking Settings, Price Settings and Availability Rules:
1. Booking Settings
From Airbnb’s Policies and Rules section, we sync:
Pets allowed
Events allowed
Smoking, vaping, and e-cigarettes allowed
If you change any of these on Airbnb, the same settings will be reflected in Sympl. You can also manage them from the Airbnb Booking Preferences overlay in Sympl.
2. Availability Rules
These come from Airbnb’s Pricing and Availability section. We currently sync:
Minimum stay
Maximum stay
Changes to these settings on Airbnb or in the Airbnb channel overlay within Sympl will automatically update the corresponding Sympl rental.
3. Pricing Settings
Also found in Airbnb’s Pricing and Availability section, we currently sync:
Currency
Nightly Price (mapped as Sympl’s Base Rate)
Weekly and Monthly Discounts
– These are converted from percentages (Airbnb) to fixed values (Sympl)Extra Guest Fee
Weekend Nightly Price
These settings will sync to Sympl when edited on Airbnb or via the Airbnb Pricing Settings overlay in Sympl.
