Connecting Spot2Nite to RMS
Spot2Nite can be connected to RMS using one of two methods. Spot2Nite will confirm the preferred method during the onboarding process.
Method 1 - Connection via the RMS Channel Manager
Connect Spot2Nite by following the general Channel Connection process. This involves activating the channel in the RMS Channel Manager, mapping your categories and rate types, and enabling the connection.
Method 2 - Mapping Managed by Spot2Nite
In this method, all mapping is handled directly by Spot2Nite. No mapping configuration is required in RMS.
