Scheduling When Your Listing Syncs (Timed Sync)

With Advanced Sync Settings, you can:

  • Choose when your sync happens.
  • Select specific days for syncing.
  • Sync more than once every 24 hours.

Scheduling a Price Sync at a Specific Time

  1. Free with Dynamic Pricing Subscription

Steps:

  1. Go to Account → Settings.
  2. Click Sync Settings.
  3. Select Specify Your Own Time.

  5. Click Save.

Scheduling Multiple Daily Syncs

  1. Additional Cost: $1/listing/month for each extra sync
  2. While one daily sync is sufficient for most properties, additional syncs can be useful if:
    1. You manage a large portfolio.
    2. You use occupancy-based adjustments (OBA or POBA).
    3. You need intra-day syncs for frequent price updates.
  3. For example, you want to syncing your listings automatically at Midnight, 8 AM, and 4 PM.
    1. This adds $2/listing to your monthly invoice.

Steps:

  1. Go to Account → Settings.
  2. Click Sync Settings.
  3. Under PAID SUBSCRIPTION, click +Add Hour.
  4. Enter the time for your additional syncs
  5. Click Save.
