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

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.
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.

== 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.

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.
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.
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.

====Use webhook to switch a Shelly on====
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
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

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

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].
