v2 webhooks are now available and will be replacing the v1 webhooks at a future date! Read More

Webhooks are a way to receive data to your server (or another service like Zapier).

To set up a webhook:

  1. Go to Apps

  2. Click on Webbooks

  3. Type in a URL where you'd like a webhook sent and click Add

Webhooks can be sent whenever you receive a new reservation, and every time the "status" of the reservation has changed. This status change can include:

  • Pending

  • Accepted

  • Booking

  • Staying (only for Vrbo - a reservation is currently in progress)

  • Waiting for payment

  • Cancelled

  • Check-in or check-out date change

  • Number of guest change

Webhooks are sent to the given URL with a POST request. The data is in the request body, encoded in a JSON format.

In PHP for example, you can extract the webhook data as an array with:

$reservation = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);  

The webhook will look like this, with the relevant reservation id for your host profile, the guest's profile, and the listing's id.

The extras_price data point is the cleaning fee.

The confirmation code, provided by the platform, is always identical in relation with the same reservation and can be treated as a unique ID.

If a webhook takes longer than 30 seconds to respond, it is considered a timeout and will be retried. We will resend webhook notifications progressively for up to 24 hours, until the webhook responds with a successful HTTP response code (i.e. ‘2xx’) within 30 seconds.

It is not possible to resend webhooks generated in a specific period of time. You can only have all webhooks resent through the 'Send now' button in your Webhooks page.

All webhooks include a "Content-Type: application/json" header in every POST request that is sent to your server. 

The webhooks are sent from IP addresses within the 38.80.170.0/24 range. This means you can expect requests from addresses between 38.80.170.0 and 38.80.170.24.
