== How it works ==
== How it works ==
Beds24 sends bookings and modifications to bookings once a day to Chekin.  
When a booking is made or modified Beds24 will send information to Chekin.
Only bookings with a confirmed (or new) status are sent, requests and inquiries are not sent.
 
The Chekin invitation URL will be stored in an info item called CHEKIN_URL in the booking.
This can be sent to the guest by auto action and template variable. Check this [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Auto_Actions#Send_Remotelock.2FLockstate.2C_Nuki_PIN_or_Chekin_Link_2_days_before_Check-in_.28Self_Checkin.29_-_Select_from_the_predefined_template Auto action example]  for more information
 
The text of the info code CHEKIN_STATUS tells you the status of the booking in Chekin.
 
You can use the template variable [BOOKINGINFOCODETEXT:CHEKIN_STATUS]
 
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col"| Code
! scope="col"| Use
|-
 
|Guests complete
| when all the guests have been registered.
|-
 
|Police_complete
| when the guests data has been sent to police authorities.
|-
 
|Complete
| when all used features at Chekin are completed.
|-
 
|}


When documents are collected via Chekin the info code will be added in the "Info" tab of the booking.  
If you choose not to send modifications, the booking will not be resent while it contains the CHEKIN_URL info code, if you delete the info code from the booking and delete the booking from Chekin, it will be able to resend.
