This new feature allows you to update certain fields of a stay when specific information is received in the comments section of a reservation XML that is sent by the channel manager.
It is located in the mappings section the name "Remark Pattern":
With this new feature, you can map certain information patterns that arrive in the comments section of the XML so that some fields of the stay are automatically updated.
For example, if you want the stay's channel to always be updated to "Booking Engine" whenever the text "web_hotel" appears in the comments, you would map it as follows:
- Add a new comment pattern mapping.
- Select which field you want to update, in this case the channel.
- Manually indicate the pattern to read, in this case "web_hotel".
- And select which channel it should be updated to, from the list of channels configured in the property, in this case "Booking Engine":
In this way, whenever the text "web_hotel" appears in the comments of a reservation XML sent by the connector, the stay will automatically update the channel to "Booking Engine".
