  1. Hi, we are having some problems generating a Dotnet (6) client from the Connector API specification in Visual Studio 17.4.0 on Windows 10.

    The root cause seem to be that languages like C# (.NET), Java, and go, do not support "discriminated unions".

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new Dotnet (6) project in Visual Studio
    2. Open “Connected Services”
    3. Add the Connector Open API specification
    4. Build the project

  2. Hi,

    It would be great if Mews provide createdby/updatedby or some boolean identifiers to identify the source of action.

    Usecase : Customer creation/update : External API consumers sends customer (loyalty members) profile updates to mews via API calls, Mews in turn sends Webhook events whenever customer updates happens via API calls or Manual updates. As we seek to maintain the synchronisation of customer profiles in both Mews and CRM system, the update events goes to infinite loop if we don't stop using an identifier. for example, Customer profile is updated in CRM then CRM triggers an updated event, this results…

  3. When downloading Accounting Items through the API, it would be very useful to see the original currency and original amounts as well. We have some internal processes, where we need to see the original transaction details.

    One additional "section" in orderItems: OriginalAmount
    One additional "section" in paymentItems: OriginalAmount

    This would also save some round trips with cashier transactions as we would have the needed currency in one run.

    Hello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community. Remember you can share a link to your request so that your colleagues can also upvote your suggestion. It would also be great if you could shed some more light on the internal processes where the original currency information is needed! 

  4. A meeting room can only be booked once during a day period. This is a problem since meeting rooms e.g. can be booked from 09:00 till 12:00 and again from 13:00 till 17:00. This basic case is not possible.

    Is there any change planned which would allow us to book rooms based on the actual reservation time and not only once per period?

  6. When an availability block is created in Mews, a new rate is created, dedicated to this block. The new rate is based on an original rate, taken from the list of rates already existing in Mews. Let's say a hotel has a company profile "Company X" which books a conference. The user selects rate = "Company X corporate rate" and Mews creates a copy of this rate and attaches it to the block. When fetching the block via the API, the block references this copy as its rate ID.

    We want to know what the original/underlying rate is for such…

  8. The new messages functionality is a huge improvement for guest communication. It would be very useful to have additional options like archive/delete, mark as unread and star messages from customers (or internally).

  11. Get Customers response requested by guest room key NFC UID

    As POS Operator I want to use a guest room key UID (16 digit Hex code e.g., 803687a2415404) to search for the guest on the POS so that do not have to ask for the guests room number and can use the same method to pay and justify a room posting.

    Given I greet a guest at the Hotel Restaurant when tap the guest room key on my POS mobile device (NFC reader) then the Interface response with customers details base on the guest room key UID.

  12. It would be great if we could get the Confirmed Date from a Reservation out of the API. Mews shows this in their own report(s), but it's not available in the Connector API.

  15. When a refund is done via a group bill and the refunds are added to the individual reservations (so that the refund accounting items are added to these reservations), the reservations themselves are not marked as being updated (UpdatedUTC). Therefore, if you perform a query to check for updated reservations, these reservations are not sent and thus we miss getting the updates for these reservations.

    So our request: update the UpdatedUTC for reservations when a refund is done via a group bill, since accounting items were added to these reservations.

  16. Hi!

    We need a flag to tell mews not sending the cancellation email when we're cancelling a reservation through the "reservations/cancel" endpoint.

    Many thanks in advance!

  17. When adding and fetching availability blocks data from Mews via the Connector API, it seems that the CompanyId parameter is missing from the Availability Blocks object, which can be a problem when trying to sync all data and/or when trying to filter or sort availability blocks by Company. Often times, the availability blocks are related to corporate contracts and therefore it is important that a third party system is able to link availability blocks in Mews to a company. Having this possibility also allows the property to fully utilise Mews as the centre of truth when it comes to customer/company…

  18. It is extremely useful to qualify Resource Dirty / Clean / Inspected States with occupancy status.
    As it is to resolve occupancy Status, reservation’s arrival and departure dates must be queried for the Resource against current date.
    If the current date falls within arrival and departure then the occupancy can be resolved by Reservation State
    Started means occupied, anything else means vacant.
    Is there a simpler way to do it?
    Could it be included in the Resource response?

  19. It would be useful to add the new field "Reservation Source" to the API as many hotels use it interchangeably with "Channel Manager" to indicate channel information.

  20. Currently unable to attach the company to a bill via Connector API. Having this enables possibility to fully automate bill management for corporate/event bookings.

    One way could be to allow integration partners to specify CompanyId in the bills/add endpoint.
