Requesting a Not In The Guidebooks Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Not In The Guidebooks can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Not In The Guidebooks could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Not In The Guidebooks 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 Not In The Guidebooks, send one email to your Not In The Guidebooks contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Not In The Guidebooks.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Not In The Guidebooks, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Not In The Guidebooks builds and certifies the connection. Not In The Guidebooks 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, Not In The Guidebooks appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Not In The Guidebooks works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Not In The Guidebooks after your introduction.
