Introduction

The Slowhop integration automatically imports reservations from Slowhop into your mobile-calendar calendar and sends your rooms’ current availability, prices, and restrictions to Slowhop. This means that a date booked through another channel will also be blocked on Slowhop, reducing the risk of double bookings.

Instructions

  • From the left-hand menu, go to Integrations → Channel Manager.

  • In the Direct integration section, click Configuration on the Slowhop card.

  • You’ll be taken to the 6-step Slowhop connection wizard.

Step 1: Introduction

  • Review the scope of the integration. It sends availability, prices, and restrictions to Slowhop and imports reservations from Slowhop.

  • Click Next.

  • If you have several properties on Slowhop, enter another UIK code and click Connect another property.

  • To check the current connection status, click Refresh status.

Property connected to another account

A Slowhop property can be connected to only one mobile-calendar account. If you see a message that the property is already connected to another account, disconnect it from that account first.

How do you disconnect a property?

  • Next to the selected property in the list, click the Disconnect icon.

  • In the “Disconnect the property?” window, click Disconnect.

  • The room mappings for this property will be removed, and its availability will be released in Slowhop. If this was the last connected property, synchronization will be disabled. Reservations that have already been imported will remain in the calendar.

Step 3: Room mapping

  • Assign the corresponding Slowhop properties to your rooms. Availability is sent separately for each property.

  • For each room, click the dropdown on the right and select the matching offer from Slowhop.

If an assigned property is no longer available in Slowhop, you’ll see the message “The assigned object no longer exists in Slowhop” next to the room; select a new property in that case.

Step 4: Rate plans
