What Happens After Setup

✅ Automatic Updates

Once connected, your integration will automatically stay synchronized:
  • Property information updates within 5 minutes
  • Booking changes reflect within 5 minutes
  • New reservations are imported automatically

✅ Property Images

  • The first image from each OwnerRez property becomes available in your Location information
  • These images can be easily used in your page headers

✅ Reservation Management

  • Current and upcoming reservations are automatically tracked
  • View reservation lists in each Location's Info section
