  7. Click ‘Generate API secret key’ - Please securely store your API key on your end. If the key is lost, it cannot be recovered and you will have to generate a new key that will need to be updated in Operto. 
  8. Copy the ‘Account ID’ 
  9. Moving back to your Operto dashboard, paste the copied ID into ‘Account ID’ 
  10. Move back to the Hostaway dashboard and copy the ‘API Key’ 
  11. Paste this into ‘API key’ in Operto dashboard
  12. Once both the ‘Account ID’ and ‘API Key’ are copied from the Hostaway dashboard and into the Operto dashboard, click ‘Connect’
  13. Hit the refresh button on your web browser and then you will see that the status will change to ‘Connected’
  14. Navigate to the ‘Units’ tab on the left-hand sidebar of your Operto dashboard
  15. Click on ‘unactivated’, tab. You will see a list of all your imported properties

 

Customizing guest messages to include access codes: 

In order for your guests to automatically receive their access codes, you will need to configure your message settings in your Hostaway dashboard

  1. From your Hostaway account, click on the ‘message’ icon on the left hand side bar 
  2. Click on ‘Automations’ on the top right of the navigation pane
  3. In the body of the custom ‘Message’ field, you will need to include both standard fields from the drop-down menu: {{door_code}} and 1{{door_code}}. These are your check-in and check-out codes respectively.  mceclip1.png
  4. You'll also want to ensure you have two messages scheduled to be sent out to the guest:
    • The first one will be 1 hour after the reservation has been made with the 'always trigger' box checked 
    • The second one will be 3 hours before departure time with the always trigger box checkedmceclip2.png
    • Example:mceclip3.png
  5. Introduce  {{door_code}} for your check in instructions and 1{{door_code}} for check out. mceclip4.png
