Hotek Keycutter multiple keys in one command
Mews now send and API call to Hotek Key cutter for only one key at a time, if you want to create multiple keys at a time it send it separately and not in one command. We check with Hotek and they confirmed to us that Mews send multiple keys creating in different commands and not in one command. This cause a lot of irritation with people at the reception, because it's not clear when the first key is created and when they need to put the second key on the card reader. Allowing duplicate keys is not and option…

Integrate Mews terminals to POS
Being able to use Mews terminals with any POS provider, rather than having a second payment provider enabled.
10 votesHappy to share that it is now possible to connect Mews payment terminals with other POS or Kiosk systems! Check out the API use case documentation here: https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/use-cases/mews-terminals

Attach Company Id to bills
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.

Include merchant fee adjustment in the CreditCardTransaction object
Integration partners can retrieve the estimated transaction fee via accountingItems/getAll, with CreditCardTransaction extent.
The "Fee" parameter gives the estimated transaction fee value. (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/finance#credit-card-transaction)
However, with the recent feature release of transaction fee adjustments for select properties, the updated fees are not returned, and can cause discrepancy between data in Mews PMS and in other systems (e.g. accounting, business intelligence, etc).
In the exported Payment Report, "Fee total net"/"Fee total" refers to the estimated transaction fee and will be displayed "Fee" parameter in the CreditCardTransaction object. On the other hand, "Adjusted total fee" in the same report refers to…

Resource block creation/updates as one of the Resource Events in Webhook/WebSocket
Currently, an integration partner that uses inventory data (such as Revenue Management systems, Event Management, etc) needs to poll resourceBlocks/getAll and are not able to sync space avilability in real time.
There is already a WebSocket notification when a room/space/resource is make as Out of Service (OOS). Would be great to expand that to cover Out of Order (OOO) and House Use blocks to reduce the need for calling the API regularly to check for created/updated resource blocks.

Thanks for submitting and voting for this suggestion. We've recently added reservation purpose (and reservation origin) to the API. You can find more details in our API documentation: https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/reservations

Revenue: Get all reservation changes
When getting historic reservation data, such as reservations/getAll it would be great if we could get all states of reservation.
For instance, reservation was created on 10th of July for 10th of August for 30 rooms. It was changed from 30 to 50 rooms on 15 of July. Currently we can only access last state, however getting older state (state of 30 rooms in this example), would be great. This would allow us to recreate historic booking correctly. We can use this booking for creating different machine learning algorithms.

Status adjustment from Inquiry to optional
Currently we are unable to adjust the Inquired status to Optional status via the Connector API. So the connection with Thynk is not working, Optional groups in Thynk are not pushed through to Mews under Inquired status.....this causes imbalance between the systems

services/getAvailability: add an OOO count.
Most other PMS's (all using HTNG standard and most custom APIs) can provide a simple Date : Room Type : Out of Order count.
So like:
2021-06-30: King: 1 OOO
2021-06-30: Queen: 0 OOOMews requires storage of resourceBlocks, mapping of room numbers to resource categories, and storage of unique IDs for every OOO room. This is much more complex than other partners, and would require a whole new inventory architecture to support.
Now that you've added an Adjustments extent: would be great to be able to pull total Out of Order counts by date and by roomtype via getAvailability…
4 votesOur API is built on the philosophy of providing raw data only. The API doesn't perform mutations or calculations on that data. The calculations as requested can be done on the side of the API user themselves based on the data we provide.

String maximum lengths to be documented
Could the Connector API documentation please give the maximum possible lengths of all string values? It's hard to store responses from the API in a database without knowing how big to make the fields!
1 voteHello from the Mews product team.
Unfortunately, we are unable to document such limitations as we also rely in certain cases on other 3rd party integrations sending us information. Documenting this would naturally create breaking changes as soon as we need to extend the field sizes.
Thank you for reaching out.

accounting items have no date created/modified/cancelled
You can not gather some historic information about accounting items:
- When was it created?
- When was it last modified?
- When was it cancelled (/closed)?11 votesHello 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.

accountingItems/getAll
Extend the timefilter to have a UPDATED timefilter, so that you can retrieve all accounting items that have been created/modified within a certain timeframe.
This way you can easily fetch for example "give me all items that were changed since yesterday".
Advantage: If you would like to know if there were new accounting items modified/created since the last time you checked, you do not need to get all items for the entire future. That would save a lot of bandwidth and processing (on both server/client side)9 votes -
WebSockets: Add PreviousState to reservation events
The reservation event messages in the websocket channel are actually not representing events, but state changes. To be able to separate a checkin (state change from Confirmed to Started) from undoing a checkout (state change Processed to Started) I would like to have included the previous state in the event messages, since both of the examples will send only an event with status Started.

Initiate key cutter from API
There is a possibility to click "Create keys" in the Mews Admin to create keys by the Salto key cutter system. However we want to automize this through the API, so that keys can be automatically generated for guests, e.g. an hour before check-in.

Specify CancellationReason in reservations/cancel
Users in Mews can choose from a pre-defined list of reasons when manually cancelling reservations in the reservations module in Mews PMS.
However, when a reservation is cancelled via API, the cancellation reason defaults to "Other".
It would be great to be able to also specify cancellation reason via the API (drawing from the pre-defined list available in Mews) so that integration partners can help keep the reservations reporting as accurate as possible.

Origin Connector
We need a more detailed descriptions in action log and in origin for those integrations that use the connector API.
We currently have multiple integrations (room checking, IReckoU, Omniboost, Zapier, Pxier, etc.), it's is impossible to understand in our analytics (POWER BI) through which channel a booking came if it just says connector for all.
Same applies for action log. If something went wrong. How do we know which integration made the change if all indicated system?
