Overview

This node performs the 'PUT checkin reservation' operation within the 'Reservation Action' resource of the Apaleo API. It is used to check in a reservation by its ID, optionally specifying whether to add city tax during the check-in process. This operation is beneficial in hotel or property management workflows where automated check-in processes are required, such as confirming guest arrivals and updating reservation statuses in real-time.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically check in a guest upon arrival by providing the reservation ID and deciding whether to apply city tax.
2. Integrate with a front desk system to update reservation status to 'checked-in' and handle city tax billing automatically.

Properties

Output

JSON

• error - Error message if the operation fails.
• json - The JSON response from the API call, containing details of the checked-in reservation or an empty object if an error occurs.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Apaleo API to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include invalid or missing reservation ID, resulting in errors from the API about not finding the reservation.
• Errors related to authentication if the API key is invalid or expired.
• Network or API endpoint issues causing request failures.
• To resolve errors, ensure the reservation ID is correct, the API credentials are valid, and the network connection is stable.
