Enquiries Inquiries and requests are only imported if you opt in to importing them. <span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> If you import enquiries inquiries you should set "Bookings with Request Status to "Do not block the room" in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES > BOOKING RULES so the room does not get blocked in Airbnb. If you block the room Airbnb will lock it. In this case the enquiry inquiry will be imported with the status "Cancelled" so it can convert to a confirmed booking.
