Autopilot

The autopilot is sending Rates automatically from Rateboard to the partner systems (PMS and/ or CM). In the following text we will shortly describe what should be considered while using the autopilot and how the correct settings are done.

Configuration of the Autopilot

1. Login to your Rateboard account and open the Manage-Calendar (1) > click on the little Autopilot cogwheel on the right hand side of your screen (2).

Open

2. The tab for the configuration of the autopilot opens up:

• Fill in the period you would like to have sent the rates automatically (1)

• Optional: fill in a maximum deviation above and/or below from the base rate (2)
  > check your base rate as described in 2a

• Optional: Decide, if the configurations should be applied to all room categories (3)

Open

2a. Check the base rate: settings (1) > price level (2) > price level (3) > base rate (4)

3. Activate the autopilot:

First choose the category  (1) and then activate the switch (3)

The “robot icon” next to the category shows whether the autopilot is activated for this specific category or not:

blue robot (1) = autopilot is activated

grey robot (2) = autopilot is not activated

4. The autopilot is active now and is sending the rates in regular intervals to your PMS/CM

5. The robot icon in the Manage calendar shows days, where Autopilot is active.

Freeze Rates

You have the option to deactivate the autopilot for certain days, i.e. fixing the rate. You can still manually send rates to your PMS / CM for these days.
Caution! The rates are always fixed for the selected room category only.

Select one or multiple days in the manage calendar and open the autopilot menu

You can identify days with fixed rates by the red robot icon
