Should you pre approve Airbnb inquiry?

You can use pre-approval to help encourage a guest to book within 24 hours. Pre-approval is also vital for guests who are new to Airbnb and don't have reviews. They can't use the instant book option and will instead have to contact you to request their stay, which you can then pre-approve for convenience.
