When you connect Lodgify to Airbnb via the channel manager, you allow information to be synced between endpoints on both platforms. An endpoint is where data is gathered, in one end, from an API so that it can be synchronized at the other end. Lodgify uses endpoints to communicate data to Airbnb, such as rental prices, descriptions, and photos.
The table in this article details exactly what is synced, crucial for understanding error messages that may arise in the API connection between Lodgify and Airbnb. It is also essential when reaching out to our support team or the Airbnb support team.
