How can I test a rule?
Testing a rule before deploying it ensures that it functions as you expected. Here’s how to test a rule.
To ensure your PMS Automation. works smoothly, we recommend first testing it using dedicated test shifts. Follow these simple steps:
Testing Steps:
-
Create Test Shifts:
- Decide which shift you would like to create reservations in. Copy this shift in your settings
- Rename these new shifts by adding "PMS TEST" to the shift name.
- Set the online capacity of these shifts to 0 or lock the shifts entirely, ensuring guests cannot book them online.
-
Set Up Rules:
- Create automation rules linked specifically to your "PMS TEST" shifts.
- Learn how to create rules here.
-
Monitor Test Reservations:
- Allow the system to run for a few days and monitor reservations generated by your PMS.
- Verify if the automation is working as expected and reservations are correctly placed in your test shifts
-
Finalize Setup:
-
If everything functions correctly, simply update your automation rules to use your actual, active shifts.
-
See how to edit a rule here.
- Re-enable these rules, and the system will automatically move the reservations from your test shifts to the real shifts.
- This process can take up to a few hours to complete.
-
- Delete the shift copy
- Don’t forget to delete the shift you created for the tests.
Testing in this way helps you avoid potential issues, providing a smooth experience for both your team and your guests.
