Airbnb is the most popular platform to list your vacation rentals (currently have 150M rentals and counting). Sometimes details (e.g. phone, email) are not synced from Airbnb into the PMS and thus, to Duve. To make the most out of Duve's automations, the guest's contact details are extremely important.
What can we do about it?
‼️ Best Practice‼️ : Integrate your Airbnb account with Duve and send either scheduled messages or manual messages
For setup instructions, see Airbnb OTA Integration | How to Connect
For general information, see New! Airbnb Integration
Manual Message setup: Ensure that the communication channel you are using is Airbnb
Scheduled Message setup:
Create a Scheduled Message to send by Chat - this will send messages directly to the Airbnb inbox, even if there is no email added on the Reservation in Duve.
Option 2: Incorporate the link of the Duve Check-in portal into an automated message sent from Airbnb to direct the guests to complete the Check-in.
