This means individual homeowners aren't applicable. - This is a premium distribution channel that carries an additional cost (the price is $4 USD per listing)

Making changes to a listing after initiating the connection process
Making changes to listings after the connection process was initiated can only be synced to the channel if the listing’s status is either “Failed” or “Connected”.
|
For example: In this case, wait for the listing’s connection status to change to "Connected" or "Failed". If the status changed to “Connected”, the added images will be synced to the channel. If the status changes to “Failed” you will need to initiate the connection process again (the photos will be pushed to the channel). |
