Synchronization triggers and delay
| What? | Triggers | Delay |
| Calendar | A booking is created/updated/cancelled in your BokingSync calendar | The calendar is updated immediately. When a traveller books, a live quote is provided so availability and rates are checked. |
| Bookings | A new booking is recorded on Homeaway | Created on BookingSync before the traveller confirms so NO risk of double booking |
| Rate, property info, photos, reviews, fees and taxes | No trigger |
Homeaway reads the data every 24 hours but if a traveler books, a live quote is provided so the rates, fees, and taxes are accurate. When the prices are updated, it can happen that the price given to the traveler is different than the price calculated in BookingSync. In this case, BookingSync rejects the booking. The rental agreement is displayed during the payment process and directly comes from BookingSync. |
