The Associations section allows you to create a group calendar that displays the availability of all members within an association on a single page. This feature enables different Reservation Key accounts to connect and share their availability.
Associations are designed for groups like bed and breakfast associations, where members can easily view each other’s availability. This is particularly useful for checking availability at other member properties when one is fully booked, facilitating guest referrals.
You have two main options:
When creating a new association, you will need to fill in the following details:
This unique code will link the rooms and units you select to the group availability calendar. You will share this code with other members who wish to join your association.
Enter the name of your association.
Provide a title for the association calendar page.
Enter the website address for your association. Clicking on the association name may link to this URL.
Code is provided that you can use to embed a direct link to the association’s weekly calendar on your website or other platforms. The code will be similar to:
<a href="[ASSOCIATION_WEEKLY_CALENDAR_URL]" target="_blank">View Association Weekly Calendar</a>Choose the specific rooms or units from your account that you want to display on the association’s group availability calendar. Check the boxes next to the desired rooms or units.
To join an association that has already been created, you will need the following information:
Enter the membership code provided by the administrator of the association you wish to join. This code will link your selected listings to the existing association calendar.
Enter a title for your listing as it will appear on the association calendar.
Enter the website address for your property. Clicking on your listing name on the association calendar may link to this URL.
Provide your contact phone number for the association listing.
Similar to creating a new association, you will find code to embed a quick link to the association’s weekly calendar. The usage is the same as described in section 2.5.
Choose the specific rooms or units from your account that you want to include in the association’s group availability calendar. Check the boxes next to the desired rooms or units.
