September ‘24 - Connect Airbnb to Each Akia Office


Product Updates

Connect a Different Airbnb Account to Each Akia Office

Do you manage multiple properties in Akia and have Airbnb accounts for each property? You can now connect a different Airbnb account to each Akia office so that you can manage inquiries, requests to book, and send Akia’s automated messages through the Airbnb platform.

Callouts

  • You cannot have multiple Airbnb accounts linked to the same Akia office (Airbnb Account A and B cannot be linked to Akia Office A).
  • You cannot link the same Airbnb account to different Akia offices (Airbnb Account A cannot be linked to both Akia Office A and Akia Office B). We suggest you create co-host Airbnb accounts that manage the units within each Akia office if you do not have designated Airbnb accounts.
