Honeybook for Short Term Property Rentals

Hi HB community!

I was just curious if anyone uses Honeybook to directly book short term rentals? For example, if I have a property that’s currently on AirBnb and I want to set up a website for direct booking… would it make sense to utilize all the automations and features in Honeybook to handle direct booking?

Obviously I’d have to block off dates manually on the other places the property is listed, just curious if there is anyone out there doing this already.

Hi @Nicole M. This is for sure an interesting use case. I have not done this but I have an Airbnb that I’ve also listed on other sites before so I understand what you’re trying to achieve. I would recommend doing an A/B test of sorts. 1-2 bookings using HB but do it all manually so that you are certain all the steps you want to put into automation are captured and then 2-3 with automation and watch how it all fires before you permanently launch all the steps via automation. Also, map it out in whatever tool works for you/your brain. For example, type out the steps on a Google doc or do it in a mapping tool such as Miro; it can even be done in Canva. I’m happy to talk it out with you if needed.
