• Airbnb has Everything and limited update modes. In Everything mode, make changes in Beds 24. The next update replaces changes made on Airbnb. Messages support plain text and JPG/GIF/PNG files.

• Link your Airbnb account and match its listings to Smoobu properties. Smoobu sends prices and open dates. It receives bookings and cancellations.

• Tokeet says its Airbnb API updates instantly. It also lists inquiry pre-approval and guest messages. Check the setup guide for supported details and changes made when you connect.

• The Vrbo XML connection shares listing details, prices, bookings and messages. You need a tax number and credit card. If you do not qualify, use iCal calendar links. Old bookings may not import. Use email for Vrbo bookings from Expedia.
