Please note that no accesses will be created for the bookings made prior to you integrating your Airbnb account.
Communicating using Airbnb Messenger
You can now send your guest the booking code via the Airbnb Messenger service. We highly recommend using this option as they will always have access to this code during their stay by using the Airbnb App.
If you have already setup your integration, you will first be prompted to allow Keycafe access to write to the Airbnb messenger app. You will only have to do this once.
Your guest will then receive the booking code and booking link inside their Airbnb Messenger App. This will be a very convenient way to ensure your guest will always have access to the code to pickup your keys at the Keycafe SmartBox.
Updating or Cancelling the Airbnb Reservation
Updating or cancelling the original Airbnb reservation will also update or cancel the key access linked to your reservation.
Co-hosting Workaround
The integration does not support co-hosted accounts. However, if you obtain the Airbnb login credentials from the account you are co-hosting, you can use these credentials to connect to the account directly allowing you to manage key access from your Keycafe account.

2. Select Integrations from the left side menu.
3. Select the Airbnb account you would like to disconnect.
