Request additions to PROPERTY Export / Import
For folks with a large number of properties the following would be very useful (at least in my opinion)
Request to Add following capability to property export/import in order to make mass changes quickly
#1 Description - add ability to export entire description to EXCEL, make blanket changes to multiple properties, and import back
#2 Variation of #1 - add ability to add text to TOP or BOTTOM of description. Personally I would use this to seasonally modify the top of all
descriptions to add things such as "Book Now for Winter", "Now Booking for Summer", etc.
Furthermore it would be nice to be able to add it in this PRE format
In general anything you could add to property export and import would be very useful.
Upvoting this and adding a related use case. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to export a complete picture of what’s configured for a property, especially the listing content and how it reaches each channel.
I manage three listings at one location and want to audit them for redundancy and consistency. Right now that means opening each Description, Amenities, Photos and Channel Rules page and copying text by hand, for every property and every channel override. It’s slow, and it’s easy to miss a field.
What would help: a read-only export per property (Excel or JSON), ideally with one row per field and these columns:
- Default text, plus each channel override (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google) alongside it, with inherited vs. overridden marked
- Amenities, with how each maps to each channel and any that are unmapped
- Channel Rules (house rules, cancellation policy, fine print)
- Photos with captions, order, and per-channel exclusions
- Custom field values and the property’s rules (min nights, booking window, deposit, etc.)
Why it matters:
- Lets owners compare units side by side and spot drift
- Gives a snapshot before a big edit, as a rollback record
- Makes it practical to review listing copy with an editor or AI tool without manual copy-paste
- Helps when a channel changes its policies (Airbnb’s house-rules update is a current example) and you need to check every listing quickly
This doesn’t need to be importable. A read-only report would solve most of it. Having the same data available through the API would be even better, since it would let scripts keep an audit current.
