Activating and Configuring REST API ARI Channel Connection in RMS

Activating and configuring REST API ARI Channel Connection in RMS

 

Overview

The REST API ARI Channel Connection enables partners to receive pushed notifications from RMS when changes to Availability, Rates, or Inventory (ARI) occur.

This includes a range of integration types such as Channel Managers, Booking Engines, Rate Managers, and other partners who have developed against the RMS REST ARI Push.

The relevant module can be activated in the Module Market in some cases, or by contacting the RMS Sales team in your region.

✎ Please Note: RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
★ Tip: The Module Market can be accessed by System Administrators.

Support

If you have any support questions regarding an issue with a REST API ARI integrated partner, please reach out to the partner directly.

The partner will review the issue and share the logs with RMS if further investigation is needed.
