Integrating Clearing with Lodgify

Step 1: Initialize the integration from within Clearing

Step 1.1: Already signed up for Clearing? - follow these steps

If you have already signed up for Clearing and can access your dashboard - the first step will be to click “settings” in the bottom left of the platform and then select “Integrations”.

Select Lodgify from the following list.

Once Lodgify is selected, you will be prompted to go to your Lodgify account and under “settings” and select Public API. Simply copy and paste the API Key into the form field within Clearing.

Step 1.2: Going through onboarding with Clearing? - follow these steps

If you are currently signing up for Clearing and are going through the onboarding steps, you will be brought to a page where you can select your Property Management Software. Choose Lodgify here.

Once Lodgify is selected, you will be prompted to go to your Lodgify account and under “settings” and select Public API. Simply copy and paste the API Key into the form field within Clearing.

Step 2: Confirm your assets from within Clearing

Once the integration has been connected, your properties will pull into Clearing from Lodgify automatically. You can always add more as your business grows.

Step 3: Configure your assets from within Clearing

Complete this step by first naming your assets (or leave them the same as how they are named in Lodgify which will appear automatically).

If you want to group properties, for any categorization needs, you can complete that now (this can also be done later).

In general, people tend to group their assets by buildings or cities, but the flexibility of Clearing’s platform allows you to group properties however you desire.  If a new group is needed, you can create new groups from this step by clicking the plus sign beside the group column title. There is also no requirement to group your properties - it’s completely up to you!

Step 4: Congrats, that’s it, you’re all connected! 🤘

Once you have loaded your properties, you have completed the integration setup! Time to get started with setting up your automations!
