Inquiry Widget with Property Selector?

I am unable to find a widget with property selector any more. I saw the instructions about the widget set up:
"If you choose "All Properties", the generated code will detect the correct property based on the URL of the page where it is hosted."

My issue is that I have one Facebook page for all my properties. I have embedded widgets in html tabs on my page, so I was hoping for a widget with a property selector. Or, will I have to embed a separate inquiry form for each property?

You can do this by creating a booking/inquiry widget and turning on the "show property selector" option.

You can also combine this with the property/availability search widget which will let guests search through your properties on FB and then link out to the property page on your site. Here's an FB page set up that way: https://www.facebook.com/mexicobeachrentals/app/190322544333196/

Thank you for that info, Chris. I think I got hung up when selecting a widget and the description said Booking/Inquiry (Single Property). :)
The Facebook example was very helpful. I hadn't seen what the availability widget looks like in action. I like it!!

Yep, it is "single" because it can do only one property at a time, but I went ahead and removed that suffix because you're right, it can be confusing.
