Getting Started with Airflow: A Complete Guide

Welcome to Airflow

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the first step toward a calmer, more organised way of running your business. This guide will walk you through everything you need to get started.

What you’ll need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An email address for your Airflow account
  • Login credentials for at least one platform you’d like to connect (Airbnb, Booking.com, Xero, etc.)
  • About 5 minutes of uninterrupted time

Step 1: Create your account

Head to our Get Started page and enter your email. You’ll be redirected to create your Airflow account — no credit card required.

Step 2: Connect your first platform

Once you’re in, the onboarding wizard will guide you through connecting your first platform. We recommend starting with your primary booking platform (like Airbnb) — this gives you the most immediate value.

Step 3: Explore your dashboard

With your first platform connected, your dashboard will start populating with real data. Take a few minutes to explore:

  • Bookings — upcoming check-ins and check-outs
  • Messages — guest communications in one inbox
  • Tasks — automated to-dos generated from your calendar
  • Finances — revenue and payout tracking

What’s next?

Once you’re comfortable with the basics, connect additional platforms to unlock the full power of Airflow. Each new connection adds more automation and reduces more manual work.
