Here are some things to know before you set up justhooit for Mews Operations:

• If you're already live with Mews, Mews does not configure the entire channel manager integrations for you. If you have any problems fixing the mapping errors within Mews, contact the Mews support team to help you troubleshoot.
• If you already have a contract with justhooit, click Connect integration.
• This channel is a two-way connection meaning that Mews manages availability, rates and restrictions. Reservations are pushed from justhooit into Mews.
• This channel does not require any monthly fees or contract commitments.

Step 1: Connect justhooit

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace.
2. Under Categories, click Distribution.
3. Locate the justhooit integration and click Explore.
4. Click Connect integration.

Note: justhooit can work with mapping codes generated in Mews or justhooit.

Step 2: Update mapped space categories

When you connect the justhooit integration, Mews automatically maps all your space categories.
If you don't want Mews to send a space category to justhooit, you can remove it.
 

To remove mapped space categories

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager rates.
4. Find the rate that the space category is connected to, and click on the Channel manager ID.
5. In the Channel manager categories section, find the space category you want to remove and click the icon.
6. Click Delete.

Repeat steps 4 - 6 for every space category that you don't want sent to justhooit.

If you need to add more space categories in the future, you can manually map them.
 

To manually map space categories

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager categories.
4. Click +.
5. In the Channel manager ID field, enter a unique code for this space category. Mews recommends that you create a short code to describe the space category, for example, "PRES" for "Presidential Suite". Make sure not to include spaces or special characters.
6. Under Category, select the space category you want to send to justhooit.
7. Select the Synchronized checkbox to send availability updates to the channel manager. Note: If a space category is unsynchronized, Mews doesn't send any updates.
8. Click Create.

Repeat steps 4 - 8 for every space category that you want to map.

Step 3: Update mapped rates

When you connect the justhooit integration, Mews automatically maps all your public rates.

• If a rate is mapped and synchronized, Mews sends the price and restrictions updates for it.
• If you want to assign reservations to rates but manage prices and restrictions from the channel manager, keep your rates mapped and unsynchronized.

If you want to remove some rates entirely so that reservations cannot be assigned to them, you can do so.
 

To remove mapped rates

• If you want to completely remove a rate so that no reservations can be created with it, delete or unsynchronize the rate in both Mews Operations and justhooit.
• If you want to send private rates, you can manually map them.

To manually map rates

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager rates.
4. Find the rate you want, and click on the Channel manager ID.
5. Click +.
6. In the Channel manager ID field, enter a unique code for this rate. Mews recommends that you create a short code to describe it. For example, "NRBB" for a non-refundable rate that includes breakfast. Make sure not to include spaces or special characters
7. Under Rate, select the rate you want to send to justhooit.
8. Find the Synchronized checkbox and decide which updates you want to send to the channel manager.

• Synchronized rates send pricing and restriction updates to the channel manager.
• Unsynchronized rates don’t send pricing or restriction updates to the channel manager, but can still receive reservations.

If you want to manage rate pricing in justhooit rather than Mews Operations, make sure the rate is unsynchronized.

9. Click Create.

Step 4: Connect space categories to rates

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager rates.
4. Find the rate you want, and click on the Channel manager ID.
5. Connect the rate to one or more space categories:

• Click +, and then click + Channel manager category to connect only specific space categories. For example, if it's a promotional rate.
• Click Connect all to connect all mapped space categories to the rate.

Step 5: Mapping Products

Package products to ensure that you add them to your channel manager reservations. Note: justhooit provides unique codes for product mapping.
 

Products charged per night or per person per night

If you charge the product per night or per person per night, you can package it with a rate.
 

Step 1: Map the product

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager products.
4. Click on + to map a product.
5. In the Channel manager ID section, enter the unique code provided by justhooit
6. Click Create.

Repeat steps 3 - 6 for every product that you want to send to justhooit.

Step 2: Connect the product to a mapped rate

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Click Channel manager rates.
4. Find the rate you want to package a product with, and click on the Channel manager ID.
5. Click +, and then click + Channel manager product.
6. Under Product, select the product you want.
7. Click Create.

Repeat steps 5 - 7 for every product that you want to be available via justhooit. Repeat these steps with the same rate to package it with multiple products.

Product charged once or per person

You cannot map these products. Yo need to create a product rule instead.

1. Go to the main menu  > Settings > Services.
2. Select a Bookable service.
3. Under Settings, click Product rules.
4. Click the + button.
5. Choose the condition that must be met in order for the product to be added to the reservation. For example, if you want the product to be added when the reservation is made with a specific rate:

• Under Rate condition, select Equals.
• Under Rate, select the rate you want to package the product with.
• Under Origin condition, select Equals
• Under Origin, select Channel manager.

6. Click Create to create the product rule.
7. In the Rule actions section, click + Rule action.
8. Under Product, choose the product that you want to add to a reservation. The system selects Add under the Action field by default. Note: Choosing Cancel under the Action drop-down excludes the product from the product rule. 
9. Click Create.

Step 6: Map travel agencies

For each travel agency, you need to create a profile / contract and set up mapping. Then, Mews Operations can automatically detect and handle any new reservations from that agency.

With justhooit, Mews recommends that you only map the most specific reservation sources. You can learn more about travel agency mapping here.

Step 7: Send mapping info to justhooit

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Locate the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.
3. Find and copy the Channel manager ID.
4. Send it to justhooit support. Note: justhooit refers to this ID as a "connection token."
5. justhooit support pulls the Mews Operations mapping information to justhooit and instructs you on how to complete the mapping in justhooit. Once you are done with this, you can continue to the next step.

Step 8: Test the integration

This test fails:

• If there are any errors with your mapping setup in justhooit, or
• If you don't finish this step.

To resolve any mapping issues in justhooit, contact justhooit support at [email protected].

To test the integration:

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace > My subscriptions.
2. Find the justhooit integration and click Edit to go to the settings page.

7. When you have no mapping errors, log in to your justhooit account and compare the availability, rates, and restrictions to those in Mews Operations.

• If they don't match, make sure you didn't add availability limits, commissions, taxes, or markups in justhooit. If you need help with this step, contact justhooit support at [email protected].
