Airbnb Co-Host Messaging in the Inbox

Hostaway Screens (30).png

Before, users of the Hostaway Inbox could only send messages as the Airbnb listing owner.

This new feature allows accounts with Airbnb co-hosting permissions to be the sender for messages sent from the Inbox.

How it works:

  1. From the Inbox, select a conversation with an Airbnb Guest

  2. Below the text input field at the bottom of the message window, click on "Send message as [NAME]"

  3. Select from the drop down who you want to send the message as

Notes:

  • The feature only covers manually sent messages (not auto-messages)

  • Only available on the Dashboard (not mobile)

  • The user must have co-host access to the listing on Airbnb

  • The co-host's Airbnb account must be connected to Hostaway from the Channel Manager

  • The listing should be re-imported to refresh our list of co-hosts assigned to the property on Airbnb
