Sirvoy Digital Guidebook Integration

Add one webhook URL in Sirvoy and every new, changed or cancelled booking reaches your guest guides and room TVs as it happens.

BetterSTR
INTEGRATION
Sirvoy

New: in beta

Your Sirvoy bookings, turned into guest guides

Sirvoy is the booking system and channel manager many small hotels and B&Bs run on. BetterSTR takes each booking it sends and gives the stay a personalised guidebook, a welcome by name on the room's TV and a WiFi QR code that works first time.

There is nothing to install and no API key to find. You enter your hotel's details in BetterSTR, copy the webhook URL we give you, and add it in Sirvoy under Settings. From then on Sirvoy sends us each booking as soon as it is made, changed, cancelled or restored. Webhooks are part of the Sirvoy Pro plan.

Like every BetterSTR integration, it is part of the free plan. The Sirvoy connection is new, so it is marked beta while the first hosts use it.

What syncs from Sirvoy

Here is exactly what BetterSTR takes from the bookings Sirvoy sends. It only receives: nothing is changed in Sirvoy.

ItemSynced?Details
Rooms Yes Each room becomes its own BetterSTR property the first time a booking names it, so each room's TV welcomes its own guest. New rooms start switched off: turn on the rooms that have a TV or need guides. Room names and room types come from Sirvoy and update when you change them there.
Property name and address Entered once Sirvoy doesn't send property details, so you enter your hotel or B&B name, address, country and time zone when you connect. Every room uses them, and the address sets the map, weather and nearby places in your guides.
Photos No Sirvoy doesn't send photos. Add them once in BetterSTR; new bookings won't overwrite them.
Check-in and check-out Partial Bookings come with their dates, and the guest's expected arrival time when they gave one. Your usual check-in and check-out times are set when you connect (3pm and 11am if you leave them blank) and you can change them any time.
Reservations Yes New and changed bookings from every channel, with their dates, adults, the source they came from, the total price, surcharges and extras. Cancelled bookings come through as cancelled, and restored ones come back. A booking for several rooms appears on each of its rooms.
Guest name, phone and email Yes With the guest's country, language and message, when the booking has them. If a room has its own guest name, that room's TV greets that guest.
Earlier bookings No Sirvoy only sends bookings as they are made or changed. A booking made before you added the webhook arrives the next time it changes in Sirvoy.
Door codes No Sirvoy doesn't send door codes. Add access details to your guide in BetterSTR.
WiFi name and password No Sirvoy has no WiFi fields. Enter them once in BetterSTR to power the WiFi QR code.
Guide link (written back) No The webhook only goes one way, so the link can't be saved on the Sirvoy booking. BetterSTR sends it to the guest by email or SMS with your notification rules.

How the connection works

  1. Enter your hotel details in BetterSTR. Under Integrations, choose Sirvoy and enter your hotel or B&B name, address, country, time zone and your usual check-in and check-out times.
  2. Copy your webhook URL. BetterSTR gives you a private webhook URL with a copy button. Keep it private: it is what lets Sirvoy send bookings to your account.
  3. Add it in Sirvoy. In Sirvoy, go to Settings > Sirvoy account. Under Booking event webhook, click Add, paste the URL as the Callback URL, name it BetterSTR and click Save. Sirvoy allows up to ten webhooks, so this works alongside any you already have.
  4. Switch on your rooms. Each room appears in BetterSTR the first time a booking for it arrives. Turn on the rooms that have a TV or need guides.

How quickly changes arrive

Straight away. Sirvoy sends each booking to BetterSTR the moment it is created, changed, cancelled or restored, so there is no sync to wait for and nothing to run by hand.

The Sirvoy page in BetterSTR shows when the last booking arrived and when Sirvoy last checked the URL, so you can see the connection is working.

Good to know before you connect

  • It's in beta. The Sirvoy connection is new. If something looks wrong, email support@betterstr.com and we'll look at your account with you.
  • You need Sirvoy Pro. Booking event webhooks are only on the Sirvoy Pro plan.
  • Only new and changed bookings are sent. Sirvoy doesn't send older bookings, and there is no way for us to fetch them. Each one arrives the next time it changes in Sirvoy.
  • One integration per account. A BetterSTR account connects to one booking system at a time.
  • Photos, WiFi and door codes are set in BetterSTR. Sirvoy doesn't send them. Set them once and new bookings won't overwrite them.
  • Think your URL leaked? Create a new one on the Sirvoy page in BetterSTR. The old one stops working straight away, so paste the new one into Sirvoy.
  • Disconnecting stops the bookings. When you disconnect, BetterSTR deletes your webhook URL and refuses anything sent to it. Remove the BetterSTR webhook in Sirvoy too.

Sirvoy integration questions

Where do I add the webhook in Sirvoy?

In Sirvoy, go to Settings > Sirvoy account. Under Booking event webhook, click Add, paste your BetterSTR webhook URL as the Callback URL, name it BetterSTR and click Save. You find the URL on the Sirvoy page in BetterSTR after you enter your hotel details.

Which Sirvoy plan do I need?

Booking event webhooks are part of the Sirvoy Pro plan. On the BetterSTR side the integration is part of the free plan.

Why can't I see bookings I made before connecting?

Sirvoy only sends bookings when they are created, changed, cancelled or restored, and it has no API for us to fetch older ones. Each earlier booking arrives the next time it changes in Sirvoy.

How do guests get their guide link?

By email or SMS with your BetterSTR notification rules. The Sirvoy webhook only goes one way, so the link isn't saved on the booking itself.

Why are my rooms switched off?

Each room becomes its own property the first time a booking names it. BetterSTR creates rooms switched off so you choose: turn on the rooms that have a TV or need a guide.

A booking isn't showing. What should I do?

Check the webhook is still listed in Sirvoy under Settings > Sirvoy account > Booking event webhook, with the URL shown on the Sirvoy page in BetterSTR. If it is and the booking still hasn't arrived, email support@betterstr.com.
