How to connect
The first thing to do is ask the customer for their Cloudbeds property ID, which is in the URL:
Take that number and save it on the PMS integrations page:
Click the Save changes button.
Then, ask the customer to go to Settings > General and click the Connect your Cloudbeds Account button:
They will complete the login and authorisation. Depending on how much data there is, the initial import can take up to an hour, but it’s usually around 10ish minutes. Refresh the Guests > Guest list page every so often to check.
Known issues & solutions, and notes
When the guest orders something in Guest Engagement, the update is recorded in Cloudbeds very quickly - <10 seconds.
If a staff member marks the order as cancelled in Guest Engagement, at this stage, the line item is not updated in Cloudbeds. This currently needs to be done manually.
Quantities are not observed by Cloudbeds. For example, in the order above, 3 bottles of wine were ordered, for a total price of 75. However in Cloudbeds, the quantity will always be shown as 1 with the total price of the order, rather than separate line items.
