How Data Sync Works

⬇️ Data Imported from Cloudbeds → Bookboost

Reservations:

  • Guest name (booker), check-in/out dates
  • Room/unit, occupancy, source/market/channel (if supported)

Guest Profiles:

  • First name, last name, email, phone
  • Full address, country, date of birth

Imported data is used across:

  • CRM (for segmentation and campaigns)
  • Digital Reception (for data confirmation)
  • Unified Inbox (for up-to-date communication)

Data Sent from Bookboost → Cloudbeds

When a guest completes a pre‑check‑in form, Bookboost updates or creates the profile in Cloudbeds:

  • Name, email, phone
  • Address, date of birth
  • ID document details (when configured)

Accompanying Guests:

  • Bookboost ensures added companions do not exceed Cloudbeds’ reservation occupancy limits.
 

🎯 Example Use Cases

  • Automate pre‑arrival messages triggered by Cloudbeds reservations.
  • Run pre‑check‑in flows to collect guest data and sync it back to Cloudbeds.
  • Build segments (e.g., OTA guests vs. direct bookings).
  • Enable front-desk teams to see updated guest info in Unified Inbox.
 

⚠️ Known Limitations

  1. Two‑way sync is limited to pre‑check‑in flows. Manual edits in the CRM do not sync back to Cloudbeds.
  1. Guest consent is imported only. It cannot be updated in Cloudbeds via Bookboost yet.
  1. ID document fields must meet Cloudbeds’ format. If incomplete, updates may be rejected.
  1. Availability: The integration is in limited release and may not be visible in all Cloudbeds accounts yet.
