Connector API Certification: Integration pilot

There are two steps that follow the Connector API certification:

 

• Creation of your integration client profile in Mews production (live environment)
• Completing a successful two-week pilot with a mutual customer

 

 

Creation of the integration client profile in Mews production

 

• The Mews Technical Partnerships team creates an integration client profile for your integration in the Mews production environment.
• The unique Client Token is automatically sent to the email you indicated in the Certification form.
• This token remains the same for all connections to all mutual customers that have added your integration to their Marketplace subscriptions in Mews.
• At this stage, your integration is tagged Private and is not yet generally available in the Mews Marketplace.

 

Note: never share the token with unauthorized parties. In case you need to discuss connectivity issues with the Mews Technical Partnerships team, mention your integration name and avoid sending the full token.

 

 

 

Piloting your integration with a mutual customer

 

To allow clients to connect your integration to Mews, the last step to complete is a two-week pilot with a live Mews property.

 

• If you already have a mutual customer in mind and mentioned them on the Certification form, the Technical Partnerships team then adds the integration to the pilot property for you. The Access Token, unique to the property, is automatically sent to you either via email (in the same inbox as your Client Token) and/or Webhooks.

 

• If the pilot property was found after you submitted the Certification form, provide the pilot property name. The Technical Partnerships team then adds the integration to the pilot property for you.

 

• If you don't have a pilot property, let the Technical Partnerships team know, to help you find one. Keep in mind that this may take some time, and we may not always be successful in finding a pilot.

 

 

Once you have successfully run the integration at the pilot property for two weeks, contact the Mews Partner Success team at [email protected] for a final review of your integration.

 

If everything goes smoothly during the pilot period, Mews then lists your integration on the Mews website and in the Mews Marketplace.

 

Note: In general, the pilot is run at only one property. In exceptional circumstances when necessary, two or more Pilots may be conducted at the same time. In either case, the integration partner must confirm that they are able to successfully onboard all properties and provide the necessary technical support.
