Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo bookings in one place
Airflow reads the booking-confirmation emails from every channel you list on and brings them into a single calendar, a single bookings list and a single stream of draft invoices. Bookings from these channels never carry an Airflow commission.
List on more than one platform and your reservations scatter across separate dashboards, separate inboxes and separate logins. Spotting a double-booking, knowing who arrives tomorrow, or totalling the month means hopping between tabs. Airflow brings Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together by reading the one thing they all send — the booking-confirmation email — and turning each into a structured booking in a single, unified view.
How it works
- 1
Connect your inbox once
Connect Gmail or Outlook, or set up forwarding, and Airflow watches for confirmation emails from Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together. One setup covers every channel.
- 2
Every booking is read and structured
Whatever the platform, Airflow parses the email into guest, dates, nights, rate, fees and taxes, and tags it with the source channel so you always know where a reservation came from.
- 3
One calendar, one bookings list
All bookings land in a single Airflow calendar and bookings list, so availability and arrivals are visible at a glance regardless of which platform produced them.
- 4
Draft invoices, if you want them
Connect Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage or FreshBooks and Airflow turns each booking into a draft invoice for your review — no extra steps per channel.
Per-channel quirks, handled for you
Each platform formats its emails differently and treats fees and commission its own way. Airbnb itemises a host service fee, Booking.com and Vrbo handle commission and fees in their own styles. Airflow reads each confirmation as that platform writes it, and if an email does not hold enough to build the booking it asks you for the missing details instead of guessing. Each booking keeps its channel label, so your reporting can still break income down by platform.
See double-bookings before guests do
The biggest risk of multi-listing is selling the same dates twice. With every channel feeding one Airflow calendar, overlaps are visible immediately. Calendar links cover both directions: each listing has an iCal feed that Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar can subscribe to, and Airflow reads the calendar links of your other channels every hour, so dates taken in one place are blocked in the others.
Email ingestion across the board
Airflow connects to none of these platforms through a two-way channel-manager API. It reads the booking-confirmation emails each one already sends, which means a single inbox connection covers them all, there is nothing to authorise per platform, and the system does not break when any one of them redesigns its dashboard.

How to Connect Airbnb to n8n
Airbnb has no n8n node for hosts. Here is how to get each new, changed or cancelled Airbnb booking into an n8n workflow through a Webhook node, with the fields you receive and how to check the signature.
How do I connect Airbnb to n8n? →Common questions
Is this a channel manager with two-way API sync?
No. Airflow reads booking-confirmation emails from Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo via Gmail, Outlook or forwarding. It unifies them in one view; it is not a two-way channel-manager API.
Can I tell which booking came from which platform?
Yes. Every booking is tagged with its source channel, so you can see and report income by platform even in the unified view.
Can Airflow push availability back to the channels?
Yes, via iCal feeds. Each property has a feed URL that Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar can subscribe to in order to block dates.
Does Airflow charge commission on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo bookings?
No. Bookings that reach you through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, an agent or any other channel never carry an Airflow commission, whichever plan you are on. Nor does a booking you add yourself that is already paid; one the guest then pays through Airflow carries your booking page rate. Reading a confirmation you forward uses automated tasks; see the pricing page.
