What the Cloudbeds connection actually does
Cloudbeds has strong, well-documented API access, which is why it's a straightforward direct integration rather than a workaround. Once connected, Suzy pulls your upcoming reservations automatically, on a 15-minute sync cycle, and also listens for real-time Cloudbeds webhook events so a new booking or a cancellation reflects quickly.
The practical effect for guests: when Suzy answers a text, she can reference the actual reservation, not just generic property information, things like confirming a check-in date or recognizing that a guest is already checked in.
What syncs, and what doesn't
Syncs automatically
Every 15 min + webhookGuest name, room number, check-in/check-out dates, and reservation status flow from Cloudbeds into Suzy's guest reservation record.
Comes from your FAQ setup
Manual, onceWiFi password, parking instructions, policies, and other property details aren't in Cloudbeds. You enter these once in your Suzy dashboard, unrelated to the PMS connection.
Never written back automatically
One-waySuzy reads reservation data from Cloudbeds; she doesn't create, modify, or cancel reservations inside Cloudbeds on her own.
Honest status
Cloudbeds is one of Suzy's live, built PMS integrations (OAuth2 connect, 15-minute sync, real-time webhook). Setting it up is optional. Suzy works fully without any PMS connected, you simply enter property details manually instead of syncing reservations.
