Digital Guidebooks for AdvanceCM

One guide per reservation, whichever channel AdvanceCM took it from

For operators distributing through AdvanceCM

AdvanceCM is the newer, channel-focused product from the team behind Tokeet, built for operators who list the same inventory on Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda and their own site. Guests from each of those channels arrive with different confirmation emails and different expectations. BetterSTR evens that out: every AdvanceCM reservation, whatever its source, gets the same personalised guide, built from the details already stored on the AdvanceCM rental.

How the AdvanceCM connection works

1

Start from BetterSTR

Pick the AdvanceCM card under Integrations and press Connect. Use this card even if you once used Tokeet.

2

Grant access at advance.cm

AdvanceCM shows a permission page for BetterSTR. Approve it with the blue button. You don't handle any API credentials.

3

Inventory and reservations load

Each rental is imported, then reservations for the following 12 months are fetched per rental in the background.

Event driven, on the Tokeet platform

AdvanceCM runs on the Tokeet platform, and BetterSTR subscribes to that platform's events. A reservation confirmed on any channel, a change of dates or guest, a move to a different rental, a cancellation, and rentals being added, edited or deleted each trigger a notification. BetterSTR then reads the current record from the API, so guides track AdvanceCM closely without any scheduled polling.

Good to know

  • A rental you delete in AdvanceCM is deactivated in BetterSTR, and rentals missing from a manual property sync are flagged so you can tidy them up.
  • Switching a rental on in BetterSTR queues its upcoming reservations straight away.
  • Past reservations, up to ten years back, can be imported with a historical sync for SMS campaigns.
  • BetterSTR holds one PMS connection per account, so disconnect any other system first.

One guide format for every channel

Each channel formats its booking confirmations in its own way. A BetterSTR guide doesn't depend on any of them, so a Booking.com guest and an Airbnb guest staying in the same unit open the same page with their own name and dates on it.

  • There are no AdvanceCM-specific shortcodes. Reservation and rental data fill the standard ones, including {{wifi_ssid}} and {{wifi_pass}}.
  • Guides translate for international guests, which helps when your channels reach many countries.
  • Each rental can also show its guide on an Android TV display.

AdvanceCM questions

How is AdvanceCM related to Tokeet?

AdvanceCM comes from the same company and runs on the Tokeet platform. BetterSTR gives it its own Connect card and you approve access on advance.cm, while the data and notifications behind it are shared with Tokeet.

I used Tokeet before and now use AdvanceCM. Which card do I connect?

Connect the AdvanceCM card. Since one PMS can be connected at a time, disconnect the old Tokeet connection in BetterSTR first.

Do reservations from every channel get a guide?

Yes. Reservations AdvanceCM receives from Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda or direct bookings all come through, each with its own guide, and the source channel is recorded so you can see where it came from.

How quickly do AdvanceCM changes reach BetterSTR?

Within moments in most cases. Confirmations, date or guest changes, moves between rentals and cancellations each send a notification, and BetterSTR reads the updated reservation right away.

What if I remove a rental from AdvanceCM?

BetterSTR deactivates it rather than deleting it, so its guide stops being used for new bookings. Running Sync Properties also lists any rentals that no longer exist so you can remove them.
