Adding a new channel

If you are connected to a sales channel which is not listed, and you are certified to use Sources, then you can add the new channel source through the API. Simply send the reservation using and use the sources array, but when specifying the unlisted source, leave the code value as null. Take care to specify the correct name and type for the source. Mews will add the new channel to the database and auto-generate a new code for it. To verify the new channel has been added, and to fetch the new code, use . You can then use that code for future reservations as normal.

For example:

"sources": [
  {
    "code": null,
    "name": "my new source",
    "type" : 6,
    "isPrimary": true
  }
]

If you are connected to a sales channel which is not listed, but you are not certified to use Sources, then please contact Mews via and we can update the list manually.
