Sifely AutoBooking Code System: Overview and Requirements

Question:

What are the minimum requirements to successfully set up the Autobooking code?

Answer:

The Sifely AutoBooking Code system is designed to automate guest access for short-term rentals, hotels, and other accommodations, simplifying property management and enhancing guest experience.

What is the Sifely AutoBooking Code?

The AutoBooking Code feature automatically generates a unique passcode for each guest reservation directly from your Property Management System (PMS). This process saves you time and ensures seamless guest check-in. When a reservation is made, a passcode is created for the duration of the guest’s stay (often set for convenience, like the last 4 digits of the guest’s phone number), and the guest can use it to unlock the Sifely lock(s) during their scheduled period.

Requirements for Using Sifely AutoBooking Codes:

• Sifely Account: You must have a registered Sifely user account.
• Sifely Locks + Gateway: Your Sifely smart locks need to be connected to a Sifely Gateway, which enables remote management and real-time updates.
• Web Portal or Sifely App ABC Subscription: Activate the AutoBooking feature by subscribing through the Sifely web portal.
• Supported PMS: The system must be integrated with a compatible property management service (see Sifely support for a list of supported PMS).
• Stable Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz): The Sifely Gateway requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and should be installed within 10–15 feet of the smart lock for optimal connection.
  
   

Basic Steps to Get Started:

1. Create a Sifely account and set up your smart lock with a Sifely Gateway.
2. Subscribe to the AutoBooking Code feature via the Sifely web portal.
3. Link your PMS so that reservations automatically trigger passcode generation.

Guests receive passcodes automatically 24 hours before check-in, valid only for their check-in and check-out window.
