So, I finally turned the AirBNB API on. What do i expect next to happen when a booking or inquiry comes?
Also I am unsure if I should disable the calendar integration now.

Can someone point to where I could find this information? thanks

I didn't change anything with regard to calendar syncing with VRBO when I turned on the airbnb API, but I had not used airbnb previously, so maybe if you did you need extra steps. Seems to me though that Ownerrez knows you are using the API so probably does the right thing.

Did you use the Listing Quality Analyzer under the tools menu and confirm that your rates are as you wish?

When you install the Airbnb API, it's supposed to remove your Airbnb calendar syncs. You can add them back in again, but generally you don't want this - it'll just cause problems. Let the API handle the calendar data, it does that better than iCal does.
