Webhook Collection
You can create Webhooks to be notified about any changes of the property's ARI or about booking and some OTA specific webhooks.
Webhooks are Push-notifications. When any changes happens, we send a POST request with JSON payload to the provided endpoint.
Webhook UI
We have an UI available to view, add and edit webhooks also so you can lessen your development efforts if you wish to manually set up instead of via API.
- ari
This will send you any ARI changes like changed availability or prices, useful if you allow users to change ARI in the Channex interface or mobile app and also to integrate any RM system
- booking
If you wish to get all booking changes then this is the one, you will get notification for any booking revision new, modified and cancelled.
- booking_unmapped_room
This will let you know if any bookings were created which were not mapped
- booking_unmapped_rate
Similar to unmapped room but this means room is mapped but rate is not
- message
If you use the messaging API this is required to push messages to you in real time
- sync_error
You can see any sync errors on your dashboard
- reservation_request
Airbnb specific, You can see a reservation request and can accept or deny
- alteration_request
Airbnb specific, You can see a alteration request and can accept or deny
Retrieve a list of Webhooks associated with users Properties.

The message is provided to the provided webhook endpoint, depending on the webhook settings (

Triggered when any changes have happened at the property State or inventory table. We provide information about changed prices, restrictions and availability.
Note: We have included the user ID of who generated the changes, this can be useful if you would like to ignore changes made by your own app.

This event was originally designed to trigger a Pull booking revision operation from the PMS. When this event arrives, we expect the PMS will call
api/v1/booking_revisions/:id, to pull the new revision and ack it.Alternatively the PMS can call the Feed endpoint also to get list of all unack bookings.
Triggered when Channex receives a booking revision but can’t map it with existing Room Types. This can happen if the channel is not mapped correctly or if the OTA provides ID which has no mapping.
This event is designed to notify PMS about potential problems at mapping and usually used to trigger notification to support team at PMS side to investigate problems with mapping.
Please, keep in mind, to prevent any potential problems with overbookings, Mapping Issues should be solved in short time-frame and should have high priority.

Triggered when Channex receives a booking revision but can’t map it with existing Rate Plans.
This trigger will not come if revision has not mapped Room Type error. Booking Unmapped Room event will mute Booking Unmapped Rate, because when we have no mapped Room it also means rate is not mapped.
This event is designed to notify PMS about potential problems at mapping, but in that case, we can map Room (and correctly process Availability changes), but can’t map to Rate Plan.

Where BOOKING_MESSAGE is structure equal to regular Booking Revision structure.
Before you start any integration with webhooks, you should to know -
Sequence of incoming webhook calls can be different from sequence of events which trigger that calls. Webhooks may come out of order.
Explanation
At property A we have 2 state changes event:
Change availability for Room Type A from 0 to 1.
Change availability for Room Type A from 1 to 0.
This events triggers 2 webhook calls with
ari type. But when Channex sends the first webhook we might catch some network issue at middle level and message failed with a timeout error. This is a temporary error and webhook will be rescheduled. Second webhook had no issues and was sent successfully and would arrive first.PMS receives webhook #2 with Availability 0.
First webhook is queued for 2nd attempt to be sent to the target endpoint and this time all went well and we deliver that webhook.
PMS receive webhook #1 with Availability 1.
As a result, if PMS will interpret incoming results, this can cause problems. Instead use information from payload, we suggest to use webhooks as a trigger to execute logic to pull ARI info from Channex.
So, in case with Availability changes, we suggest instead using data from payload, trigger a pull request to get values for changed dates.
