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:

  1. 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. 
  2. Set Up Rules:

    • Create automation rules linked specifically to your "PMS TEST" shifts.
    • Learn how to create rules here.

     

  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
