Guesty and Rentals United
The Rentals United account can be created through the Guesty platform. Your Account Manager at Guesty will help you to sync your properties and introduce you to your contact at Rentals United.
Your properties have been pushed from Guesty to Rentals United and are now ready to be reviewed and then connected to our Sales Channels. Any editing of the Property information should be done in either your Airbnb or Guesty account.
Once you are connected to the sales channels, the property information will automatically be pushed to the channels. When you receive bookings from the sales channels, they will automatically be inserted into Rentals United, Guesty and Airbnb. If you want to add a new property to Rentals United/Sales channels, you need to toggle on the RU connection which you will find under the marketing tab in Guesty. The new property will appear in Rentals United within 24 hours. You will then be able to review it and finally push it to the sales channels.
Synchronisation Flow

Note
Guesty prefers you not to change your password as this will disturb the synchronisation. If you would notice any synchronisation issues, please refer to your Account Manager at Guesty. If you need further assistance, please contact support@guesty.com
Syncing Settings
