What it does
Your receptionist can create a reservation in the selected property after it collects the required guest and stay details. Your team can look up reservations and guests from the authenticated dashboard.
Before you start
Cloudbeds must issue a property API key with the required reads and reservation-write permission.
What it does not do
It creates one-room reservations only. It does not collect card details, charge payments, modify existing reservations, or choose a different room type during the call.
Set it up
- Create or obtain the least-privileged Cloudbeds property API key.
- Open Integrations, paste the key, and choose the verified property.
- Choose the room type and reservation defaults the receptionist may use.
- Place a test reservation and verify its Cloudbeds reservation ID.
