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:
Set the triggers you need"propertyId":"[PROPERTYID]", for example:

== General Information ==
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. Actions can be to send pre-drafted emails/messages or SMS, change booking or invoice information or run webhooks.
*To send Emails automatically you need to set up your outgoing Email address in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL.
*To send Emails manually open a booking and go to the MAIL /Action tab. Manual Emails will open in a window, you may send it as is or edit it before sending.
Some systems have a limit of about 2000 characters for this form of email generation. If the email will not open try reducing the amount of text.
=== Send Emails/Message/SMS to guests ===
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> Message API messages will be shown in the message tab of the booking and in the Channel Message centre. Currently this is only available for Booking.com and Airbnb.

</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
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:
*{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> ACCOUNT->ACCESS "API Key 1"
*API Key = my_very_secret_api_key
*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 Source = XXXBooking.com
Set the webhook like this:
* URL = <nowiki>https://api.beds24.com/json/setBooking</nowiki>* Custom Header = [leave empty]
*Body Data:=
:{
::"authentication":
::},
::"bookId": "[BOOKID]",
