🔗 What Is Property Pull from Airbnb?
When you connect your Airbnb account to mr.alfred PMS, you have the option to import existing listings. This process is called a property pull, and it allows you to fetch:
- Listing content (title, description, amenities)
- Photos
- Availability calendar
📌 Note: This is only available from the Pull Properties tab after connection is established.
🧭 How to Pull Airbnb Listings into mr.alfred
- Go to the Sales Channels module in mr.alfred PMS.
- Open the existing Airbnb connection set up by you and go to the Pull Properties tab.
- Make sure you’ve already mapped any existing listings in the Mapping tab to avoid duplicates.
- You’ll see a list of Airbnb properties tied to your account.
- Select the property or properties you want to pull into the PMS.
- Click the Pull Properties button at the bottom of the page.
- The listings will be imported as Draft properties inside mr.alfred.
Alternatively, instead of creating a new property in the PMS from the Airbnb listing, you can also link an existing PMS property to the Airbnb listing and choose to pull data from Airbnb into that existing property. This is especially useful when the property already exists in the PMS and only requires Airbnb data to complete or update it.
⚠️ Important Notes
- 🟡 Pulled properties are added as Drafts – some fields may require manual adjustment.
- ⛔ Rates, fees, and taxes are NOT synced during the import – you must configure them manually in the PMS.
- 🔁 To find newly added units, you need to save general settings page to find new units in pull property page
- 🔁 Use the Refresh icon to sync property content again from Airbnb.
- ↩️ Use the Undo option to cancel a pending pull.
- 📌 Use this feature only when necessary, as the process may take time and create duplicates if not mapped correctly.
🧼 Best Practices
- ✅ Always map existing OTA listings first to prevent duplicates.
- 🖼️ Review photos and re-organize them in the Gallery tab if needed.
- 🧾 Manually configure pricing, fees, and tax rules post-import.
- 🔍 Double-check imported content before publishing the property.
- 🔄 Consider linking existing PMS listings to Airbnb before pulling to avoid redundancy.
❓FAQs
Can I pull listings after the initial connection?
Yes. Go to the Pull Properties tab under the connected Airbnb account. This can be done at any time.
Will my Airbnb reviews get imported?
No. Guest reviews remain on Airbnb and are not pulled into the PMS (feature coming soon).
Can I select only certain listings to pull?
Yes. You can select individual or multiple listings before hitting Pull.
What if I pull a listing that already exists?
This may create a duplicate property. Always map listings under the Mapping tab before importing.
Can I pull Airbnb content into an existing PMS listing?
Yes. If mapped first, you can import Airbnb data into an existing PMS listing rather than creating a new one.
