Software Release 01/05/2024

Bookit deployed the below changes into the live production system overnight. Should you require further information in regards to any of the below features, please reach out to our friendly Bookit Support team who will be more than happy to help.

New Functionality:

Channel Manager Access Keys

Applies to accommodation providers ONLY, who connect to a channel manager.

Accommodation providers who connect their Bookit Direct console to a channel manager will no longer need to provide their Bookit username and password to the channel manager.

In addition to providing better security, changing the operator password will not break the channel manager connection.

The connection will now be via Channel Manager Access Credentials, located in the left hand menu of the operator console.

The operator will choose their channel manager from the drop down list, and their unique Channel Manager Access Credentials are generated.

These credentials are then pasted into the Username and Password fields in their channel manager.

NOTE:  No action is required for existing operators, as the Channel Manager Access Credentials have already been applied.

Upgraded Functionality:

Stage 2 MFA has now been released to all users.

When a staff member sets up a new user profile, if the username entered is already in use by another person, Bookit will provide username suggestions.
