Requesting a Truestory Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Truestory can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Truestory could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Truestory would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Truestory, send one email to your Truestory contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Truestory.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Truestory, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Truestory builds and certifies the connection. Truestory builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Truestory appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Truestory works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Truestory after your introduction.
📗 TIP

Working with Truestory in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Truestory in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Truestory book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Truestory bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Truestory sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
