Getting Started

Your first steps to start using Signal-Panda: save your preferences, add your property, and connect Airbnb when needed.

Complete your first setup

Settings has three sections: Account, Properties, and Bill forwarding. Follow these steps after creating your account, then return whenever your details change.

  1. Save your preferences

    Open Account, choose your display name, temperature unit, and time zone, then select Save Settings.

    Find your profile and display defaults in the Account section.
  2. Add the property

    Open Properties and expand Add Property. For Airbnb: choose Airbnb Listing and paste the full listing URL or numeric ID. For a rental: choose Rental Property and enter its name or address. Expand Property address, Landlord details, or Property manager when needed.

    Add Property form with Airbnb Listing and Rental Property starting options
    Choose the starting setup first; the form adjusts to the property type.
  3. Connect Airbnb with the browser extension

    The browser extension is highly recommended. Without it, most connected features—including private Airbnb imports, pricing tools, and Direct Booking—will not work.

  4. Check the saved property

    The Properties section shows your rental properties and Airbnb listings, with labels and an Accounting link for each. Airbnb cards also show whether the connection is Draft, Calendar verified, or Airbnb verified.

  5. Edit, replace, or remove it

    Use Edit Details to update the property or saved lease information. Standard accounts currently hold one property, so delete the existing property before adding a replacement. Deleting also removes its connected Signal-Panda data and cannot be undone.

Ready? Add or edit a property. If you need the Airbnb listing number, use the listing ID guide. If setup still does not work, contact support.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about account and property setup.

Why is the browser extension highly recommended?

The extension unlocks most connected Airbnb features, including private imports, pricing tools, and Direct Booking. Without it, those features will not work; iCal provides calendar-only access.

Where can I find my Airbnb listing ID?

Use the illustrated listing ID guide, or paste the full public Airbnb listing URL into Settings.

Can I replace the saved property?

Yes. Standard accounts currently hold one property, so remove the existing property before adding its replacement. Deleting a property also removes its connected Signal-Panda data.

What is the difference between an Airbnb listing and a rental property?

An Airbnb listing can use Airbnb connections and calendar data. A rental property uses the manual property and operations workflows without requiring Airbnb.
