At LobbyPMS , the software for small and medium-sized accommodations of all kinds , we announce excellent news for all our clients in Latin America: We have signed our API integration agreement with Airbnb!

This represents a benefit for all current and future users, as this way, property management on Airbnb will be much simpler from LobbyPMS.

During the last quarter of 2021, our development team will be working hand in hand with the Airbnb team on the connection and thus, officially in December 2021, we will launch the corresponding connection for all our clients . As soon as everything is working correctly, we will be contacting each of our clients so that they can use this great tool.

What is an API?

An API (short for Application Programming Interfaces) is an “Integration Programming Interface”. In other words, it is a set of technological programming rules and protocols. These rules allow the two parts of an application to work together in a coordinated manner without communication problems .

It is precisely thanks to the way the API works that we can make our software work without interruptions, with the information that is available in LobbyPMS and Airbnb.

The people in charge of working on this connection are the programmers of each of the companies.

This part of the process requires some technical work, which will then result in a few clicks to ensure that the accounts are correctly connected for each user.

Benefits of Airbnb Integration

The integration we have begun to carry out with Airbnb will bring excellent benefits for all small and medium-sized accommodations in Latin America that use Lobbypms:

  • Users will be able to create listings and configure all booking conditions directly from Lobbypms.
  • They will also be able to update their room availability and rates directly from the Lobbypms platform.
  • All new reservations, modifications and cancellations generated on Airbnb will be automatically updated in Lobbypms.
  • The Lobbypms booking calendar will remain synchronized with all other integrated booking channels: Booking.com, Expedia and Hostelworld.
