YesBookit and Rentals United
The Rentals United account can be created through the YesBookit platform. Your Account Manager at YesBookit will help you to sync your properties and introduce you to a contact at Rentals United.
Your properties have been pushed from YesBookit to Rentals United and are now ready to be connected to our Sales Channels. Any editing of the Property information should be done in YesBookit account. Please bear in mind changes made directly in Rentals United will be overwritten in the next sync. Once you are connected to the sales channels, the property information will automatically be pushed to the channels. When you receive bookings from the sales channels, they will automatically be inserted into Rentals United and YesBookit. If you want to add a new property to Rentals United/Sales channels, you need to reach out to your Account Manager at YesBookit who will assist you with the sync from YesBookit to Rentals United. New Properties are usually pushed within 24 hours.
Synchronisation Flow
Property info editing/Adding new properties: YesBookit ➜ Rentals United ➜ Sales Channel
Reservations: Sales Channels ➜ Rentals United ➜ YesBookit
(Important: Cancellations are not synchronised from Rentals United to YesBookit, more details below)
Note
YesBookit prefers you not to change your password as this will disturb the synchronisation. If you would notice any synchronisation issues, please refer to your Account Manager at YesBookit. If you need further assistance, please contact support@yesbookit.com
Syncing Settings
If you would like to stop the synchronisation between YesBookit and Rentals United for some property information, please go to PMS Settings. Deselect the boxes that you wish to update manually in Rentals United and click Save. Now you can edit this property information directly in Rentals United. Please bear in mind that deselecting will be applicable for all your properties and future changes made directly in Rentals United will be overwritten in the next sync.
