Reconcile Booking.com Reservations with Opera Cloud PMS Automatically

This automation connects Booking.com Extranet and Opera Cloud PMS to streamline post-stay reservation reconciliation. On a daily basis, the digital worker retrieves all reservations checked out the previous day via Booking.com and filters them based on their status in the extranet.

It then matches each reservation in Opera Cloud using booking identifiers and compares status, ensuring consistency between both systems. Any discrepancies - such as mismatched check-out status, cancellations, or no-shows - are automatically noted.

A detailed discrepancy report is generated and shared with the relevant team, enabling fast investigation and resolution within Booking.com’s 48-hour correction window.
