Making changes to a listing after initiating the connection process
Making changes to listings after the connection process with the channel was initiated, can only be synced to the channel if the listing’s status is either “Failed” or “Connected”.
For example, if you finished the connection setup to a channel, and the listing is in “Pending” status, adding images to the listing in Guesty won’t be synced to the channel. You will need to 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).
