What syncs with Airbnb with partial connection: edit your content directly on the portal
With partial synchronization, you decide: manage prices and availability from Avantio and customize the rest from Airbnb.
If you're looking for a more flexible way to manage your advertisements on Airbnb, partial synchronization is an excellent option. This type of connection allows you to automate the essentials (like prices and calendar), while maintaining full freedom to adapt the advertisement content to your style or the portal's requirements.
🔀 What does it mean to have partial synchronization?
With the partial connection:
You manage rates and availability from the VRMS (Avantio).
You edit descriptions, photos, titles, and features directly in the Airbnb extranet.
It's the ideal option if you need to adapt the advertisements to Airbnb's specific tone and format, or if you already have optimized content directly on the portal.
📝 Important: When you create a new advertisement from the Channel Manager, the first submission is complete, including all content.
Once that initial synchronization is complete, if you have chosen partial synchronization, you can manage and edit the content directly from Airbnb, without the VRMS overwriting it.
✅ What data syncs from Avantio with the partial connection?
These are the elements that will continue to update automatically from the VRMS:
💶 Rates
📅 Availability
🛏️ Minimum stay
📆 Allowed check-in and check-out days
⏰ Check-in and check-out times
⏳ Release (minimum margin before booking)
🧽 Final cleaning and deposit
✉️ Guest messages
✅ Useful tip: Even if you manage fewer elements from Avantio, make sure your calendar and rates are well configured. They are key to your advertisement's performance.
🚫 What doesn't sync in this type of connection?
All of the following must be managed directly in the Airbnb extranet:
Advertisement title
Description
Photographs
Features
House rules
Cancellation policy
Custom rules
Optional extras
✍️ Best practices: Customize the content with the typical Airbnb traveler in mind. Use a friendly tone, highlight what makes your property unique, and address potential questions in the description.
