Hotel APIs
The integration of Yeastar P-Series PBX System and Hotel Property Management System (PMS) via API makes it possible for automating the transfer and synchronization of data between the two separate systems, so as to eliminate the need to manually duplicate information and facilitate the automation of routine administrative processes, such as room extension management, wake-up service, and checkout.
Room extension management
Hotel staffs assign each room an extension. When guests check in, the receptionist can update extension settings as needed. In this way, the receptionist can identify the caller and provide professional service when receiving a guest call, while the guests can enjoy PBX telephony features, such as free calls between hotel rooms, voicemail feature and so on.

- After receiving the request, PBX sends extension list to PMS, then the receptionist can check room extensions.
- Update extension settings
-
- When the receptionist enters guest's information on PMS, the system sends a request of updating extension settings to PBX API.
- After receiving the request, PBX updates extension settings and responds result to PMS.
Wake-up call service
