Oddly, while it is possible to view the AirBNB prices on when going to API INTEGRATIONS - AirBNB - Actions - Preview Rates, doing so with a Vrbo integration does not have that option under Actions.

But, if you select the AirBNB integration for the property in question, then Actions - Preview Rates, there is a CHANNEL box and selector you can change to any of the channels.

Would really be nice to be consistent across all the channels by having this under ACTIONS.

Thanks.

Hey Chuck,

You can find all the Preview Rate type tools up in the top Tools menu.  Look at "Channel Rate Tester" which is basically the same preview rates window you're talking about.

I believe the plan is to the other way actually and remove the Actions > Preview Rates option from the channel dashboard since the top Tools menu has access to it for all and is faster to get to.

Hmm. Rate Checker does do that. Thanks!

Love that y'all are not only adding features and fixing bugs, but also reorganizing around function. Guess I got too used to going into the API area to get API rates.

This can certainly be marked closed.

Hi Chuck - we went ahead and added it to the Actions dropdown on the Vrbo API page (and some other channels) too. Enjoy!
