Airbnb iCal update is ruining my lock automation and hosting workflow

Hi Airbnb! 

 

Please reconsider updating your iCal decision on December 1, 2019. 

 

Many hosts and I use lock automation programs (like Rboy Apps) to program our locks based on our upcoming reservations. It automatically sends an SMS text with their check in and check out directions. As well as generates a lock code for the door. 

 

Already Rboy Apps has taken down the SMS generated text that it would send to guests letting them know of their pin code. 

 

Is there any work around with this or solution to our problem? 

 

Thanks,


Ken

Rboy needs to get API integration with Airbnb, open a case explaining the issue and ask for them to get Rboy into their API program...problem solved...only there's a backlog of software developers trying to get API access and Airbnb is super slow in granting it.
