== ~~General Information~~ ==

==Summary==

An Auto Action is an action which can be used '''manually or programmed to run automatically''' at a time relative to the time of the '''booking''', to the '''check-in''' date or to the '''check-out''' date.

~~An Auto Action is an action which can be programmed to run at a specific time relative to the time of the '''booking''', to the '''check-in''' date or to the '''check-out''' date.~~

Auto actions have one or more trigger conditions and one or more actions. They can be triggered on a number of different conditions, like property, time or booking related conditions. Auto Actions can

*send pre-drafted Emails, messages or SMS

Auto actions have one or more trigger conditions and one or more actions. They can be triggered on a number of different conditions, like property, time or booking related conditions. Actions can ~~be to~~ send pre-drafted ~~emails/~~messages or SMS, change booking or invoice information or run webhooks.

*change booking information

*change invoice information

*run webhooks

*trigger HTTP POST notifications

You can create chains of actions to automate workflows.

</div>

== General Information ==

Template variables provide great flexibility when creating/managing the Auto Actions. Setup one Auto Action to trigger on multiple/all properties/rooms with the property specific details, using the [[Template Variables]]. This removes the need to duplicate your auto actions for each Property. Reducing the ongoing management, multiple copies of the same auto action will require you to edit/modify each auto action rather than update one auto action.

Using 'Group Keywords' you can refine the triggers in the Auto Action to include/exclude properties if the purpose/message in the Auto action needs to be different.

<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> Auto Actions are not designed as real-time actions. They are processed in batches so we recommend you set your triggers to allow for this.

== Setup ==

Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTION

~~Automatic actions will trigger every 15/20 minutes~~.

*Click 'Add New Action' button. You can choose whether you want to start with an empty Auto Action or whether you want to use a template that you can customise further.

~~Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT -> AUTO ACTION~~

You can ~~create a NEW~~ Auto Action~~, Modify~~ or ~~Delete from this section.~~

*To Create a ~~NEW Auto Action, Click 'Add New Action Button'~~.

*To MODIFY an Auto Action, scroll to the Auto Action and click on "Edit", make the changes and click SAVE.

Line 52:

===Setup Outgoing Email Service - Required for sending Emails via Auto Actions===

Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL and follow the instructions to connect your email address/account to Beds24.

Line 101:

Line 105:

'''Time'''

"Trigger Time" ~~defines~~ when the action is allowed to start. Once it has started it is allowed to go for the "Time Window" period. When the "Time Window" period has elapsed the auto action stops.

"Trigger Time" and "Trigger Event" define when the action is allowed to start. Once it has started it is allowed to go for the "Time Window" period. When the "Time Window" period has elapsed the auto action stops.

Both "Trigger Time" and "Time Window" are relative to a "Trigger Event" i.e. check-in, check-out, time of booking.

Line 161:

Line 165:

=== SMS ===

You can automatically send SMS messages. Please note that a fee per SMS message applies if this function is activated.

<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> SMS can only be used to communicate Information about a current booking. For legal reasons you can not use SMS for marketing purposes including discounts or vouchers.

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> The SMS will send in the language of the account, not the language of the booking. Read Example "Send an Email in the guests language to an internal Email address" for a way to control the language of the SMS.

Line 173:

Line 179:

=== Booking Info ===

Set up auto actions which automatically add or remove info codes. This is good practice for reporting and also to trigger/exclude bookings from other auto actions.

Booking info codes can be used to 'sequence' your auto actions.

For example, you have an auto action that sends a message to the guest, but only after another action has already triggered.

Consider the auto action to add a pending payment to a booking for the Security deposit authorisation, this should only be triggered when the Booking info code = STRIPEPAYMENT or CARDTOSTRIPE, both confirm the guest credit card is in the booking.

=== Invoice ===

Line 189:

Line 201:

=== Webhook ===

Create auto actions which trigger a web hook when the trigger conditions are met.

== Same day/Near term bookings ==

With Same day/Near term bookings, consider the actions/messages you want to trigger with your auto actions.

If you have messages/emails that need to send to your guest at various points before they arrive at your property, then for Same day/Near term bookings, you should consider consolidating the information and sending one message/email.

In the Trigger tab of the auto action, 'Between booking and check-in' can be used to manage which bookings the action can be triggered on.

===Example 1 - Same day booking ===

Trigger tab:

*Trigger Event = Booking

*Trigger Time = Immediate

*Between Booking and Check in = 0 and 0 (same day).

For your other auto actions, set the Between Booking and Check in = 1 and 999, then they will not trigger on same day bookings.

===Example 2 - Near term booking ===

If your business process is to send a confirmation message at the time of booking, then the check-in instructions 2 days before arrival, then for same day bookings, you can use 1 auto action.

Trigger tab:

*Trigger Event = Booking

*Trigger Time = Immediate

*Between Booking and Check in = 0 and 2 (Near term).

Message tab: consolidate the message from your standard Confirmation message and check-in instructions.

For your other auto actions, set the Between Booking and Check in = 3 and 999, then they will not trigger on Near term bookings.

== Multiple Properties ==

Line 277:

Line 316:

For example a trigger that tests all bookings from booking time for 1 year will test many bookings while a trigger that tests only the 7 days before check-in will test less bookings and perform faster.

The test tab of the auto action has a button that will show you how many and which bookings are being tested by the auto action.

The '''test tab''' of the auto action has a button that will show you how many and which bookings are being tested by the auto action. The list may include booking that will not trigger the auto action.

To check if the booking meets all the rules, enter the booking number and test if the auto action would trigger on that booking with some diagnostics information shown to help trouble shooting.

Alternatively open the booking and go to the Mail & Action tab, then search for the auto action id, check the details in the Status column.

'''Optimising your auto actions''' You can trigger multiple actions in one auto action,

*send an email/api message to the guest,

*send an SMS, update booking settings,

*add/delete a booking info code,

*trigger a webook,

*add a pending payment,

*update/add/delete a Charge/Payment item,

*assign an invoice number.

It is ~~also~~ possible to specify a ~~booking number and test if~~ the auto action ~~would~~ trigger ~~on that~~ booking ~~with some diagnostics information shown~~ to ~~help trouble shooting~~.

There is no requirement to set an individual auto action for each item if they can all apply at the same time.

<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> '''It is not possible to specify a specific time for the auto action to trigger.''' The use of the Trigger time 'Immediate' + 14 hrs (for example) will not trigger the auto action at 2pm local time, this will be the first time the booking could be checked to see if all other conditions are met, and added to the batch for processing.

== Troubleshooting ==

Line 307:

Line 359:

If you have sub accounts and need an auto action to be used across multiple accounts/properties, then create the auto action at the Master Account Level and set Property = 'All visible in account' and ensure the Master account has access to the properties.

*Trigger Window = 1 day

*Booking Status = All but not cancelled

Booking tab:

*Execution = One time only

*Change Room Unit Status = Select the option

It is assumed you use the Checkin/Checkout feature in the Dashboard, if not you can either manually add Checkin to your bookings (Booking info tab) or create an auto action to add the Booking Info Codes to the bookings.

</div>

===API/Webhook===

====Use API/Webhook to write to the field 'Message'====

</div>

You can use a webhook in conjunction with the API JSON function '''setBooking''' to write to any field in the booking. First you have to configure access to the API:

You need two keys to use our API JSON functions - one for the API itself and one for the property. The keys have to consist of 16 characters of your choosing.<br>

'''API key:'''

*{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT > ACCOUNT >ACCESS "API Key 1"

*API Key = my_very_secret_api_key

*API Key Access = allow any IP

*IP Whitelist = [leave empty]

*Allow Writes = Yes

*Property Access = Owned by this account only

*'''Property key:'''

*{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ACCESS > propKey = secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX

Set the triggers you need, for example:

Booking Field Contains: Message = XXX

Set the webhook like this:

* URL = <nowiki>https://api.beds24.com/json/setBooking</nowiki>

* Custom Header = [leave empty]

Body Data:

:{

::"authentication":

::{

:::"apiKey": "my_very_secret_api_key",

:::"propKey": "secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX"

::},

::"bookId": "[BOOKID]",

::"message": "[MESSAGE] - Append this message"

:}

</div>

====Use API/Webhook to write the value of the 'commission' field to a new invoice item====

</div>

You can create a new invoice item that contains the price of the channel's commission as a negative value to subtract it from the room price. You use the API JSON function '''setBooking''' for this. First you need to configure access to the API:

You need two keys to use our API JSON functions - one for the API itself and one for the property. The keys have to consist of 16 characters of your choosing.<br>

'''API key:'''

*{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT > ACCOUNT > ACCESS "API Key 1"

*API Key = my_very_secret_api_key

*API Key Access = allow any IP

*IP Whitelist = [leave empty]

*Allow Writes = Yes

*Property Access = Owned by this account only

*'''Property key:'''

*{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ACCESS > propKey = secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX

Set the triggers you need, for example:

Booking Source = Booking.com

Set the webhook like this:

*URL = <nowiki>https://api.beds24.com/json/setBooking</nowiki>

*Custom Header = [leave empty]

*Body Data =

:{

::"authentication":

::{

:::"apiKey": "my_very_secret_api_key",

:::"propKey": "secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX"

::},

::"bookId": "[BOOKID]",

::"invoice":

::[

:::{

::::"description": "Booking.com Commission",

::::"status": "",

::::"qty": "1",

::::"price": "-[COMMISSIONNUM]",

::::"vatRate": "7.00",

::::"type": "0",

::::"invoiceeId": ""

:::}

::]

:}

</div>

====Use Auto Action/Webhook to write to send data to Integromat====

</div>

You can use this option to send data to your Integromat account.

Set the rules in the Trigger tab, when you need to send the data to Integromat.

Go to Webhook tab:

URL = https://hook.integromat.com/ followed by your integromat account key.

Body Data = you can use the template variables allows in the list for Integromat [[https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Make#Data_Fields Data fields]]

For example :-

bookingData={

"bookId":"[BOOKID]",

"guestMobileNum":"[GUESTMOBILENUM]",

"guestMobile":"[GUESTMOBILE]",

"guestSMS":"[GUESTSMS:44]",

"guestFirstName":"[REPLACE|&|and|[GUESTFIRSTNAME]]",

"propertyName":"[PROPERTYNAME]",

"propertyId":"[PROPERTYID]",

"firstNight":"[FIRSTNIGHTSHORT]",

"lastNight":"[LEAVINGDAYSHORT]"

}

</div>

====Use webhook to switch a Shelly on====

</div>

Here is a simple PHP script with which you can switch a Shelly via an autoaction in beds24.

You can use this to switch on a string of lights on the day of arrival or to charge the night storage heating if a certain info code is set in the booking on the day before arrival.

Create an auto action and enter the PHP script ‘beds24-shelly-steuern.php’ under ‘Webhook’. The parameters for the control are transferred under ‘Data in body’:

id:b0b21c1xxxxx

shelly_server:shelly-123-eu.shelly.cloud

auth_key:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ

shelly_url:device/relay/control

parameter:channel=0&turn=on

email_result:[email protected]

remarks:Text, z.B. mit Template Variablen [GUESTFULLNAME] und [BOOKID]

</div>

====V2 version of the code for Shelly ====

</div>

Here is the second version v2 of the PHP script to switch on a Shelly device via an autoaction.

Now you can also store the device IDs in the script instead of adding them to the body parameters. This makes it possible to switch a Shelly device with a single autoaction. The device ID is then determined via the template variable [INTERNALROOMNAME].

Code: Select all

+== General Information ==
 Template variables provide great flexibility when creating/managing the Auto Actions. Setup one Auto Action to trigger on multiple/all properties/rooms with the property specific details, using the [[Template Variables]]. This removes the need to duplicate your auto actions for each Property. Reducing the ongoing management, multiple copies of the same auto action will require you to edit/modify each auto action rather than update one auto action.
 Using 'Group Keywords' you can refine the triggers in the Auto Action to include/exclude properties if the purpose/message in the Auto action needs to be different.
+<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}}  </span>  Auto Actions are  not designed as real-time actions. They are processed in batches so we recommend you set your triggers to allow for this.
