Web Updates and WebSync


MotelMate has the ability to go online to send and retrieve booking information from the following Websites. WebSync is the name of a special server hosted by Skagerrak Software as a sort of web data exchange to translate the information that MotelMate sends into a format that the various websites can read. This lightens the load of data sent from your Motelmate considerably and makes such updates much quicker.

What is WebSync?
WebSync acts as an exchange between you and the various websites. Rather than your computer sending out multiple updates and requests for each website, MotelMate sends out one request to WebSync which then converts this into many requests foreach website.

Send Updates to Web site
On the Front Desk menu you will find this button which when pressed will update information on the Holiday GuideWebsite in the event that the URLs weren't sent due to lack of connection etc.

Get Updates from Web Site
Clicking Get Updates From Website will check your WebSync account for any updates left there from any booking websites. You can set MotelMate to do this automatically with the On Idle Task setting in Adv Options
