Connect a Lodgify API key so guests can ask your chatbot which rentals are free for their dates and what the stay costs. The chatbot shares a Lodgify checkout link with the dates filled in, and guests can look up an existing booking. BubblaV adds three chatbot tools. The chatbot cannot create, change, or cancel bookings.

​
Why Connect Lodgify?

Availability and Price

Check which room types are free for the guest’s dates and guests, with the total price for the stay.

Booking Link

Share a Lodgify checkout link with the dates filled in, so the guest books and pays on Lodgify.

Booking Lookup

Guests look up status, dates, guests, total, paid, and amount due with their booking ID and verified email.

​
Prerequisites

  • A BubblaV website with edit access
  • A Lodgify account with access to Settings → Public API
  • Available on all plans

​
Setup Steps

1

Copy your API key

In Lodgify, open Settings → Public API and copy your API key.
2

Copy a booking link (optional)

For booking links with the dates filled in, open the Book Now button on your Lodgify website and copy the address. It starts with https://checkout.lodgify.com/. Without it, the chatbot still answers, but asks guests to book on your website.
3

Connect Lodgify

Go to Dashboard → your website → Integrations → Built-in Integrations → Lodgify → Connect. Enter the Lodgify API key and, if you have it, the Booking link (optional).
4

BubblaV adds the tools

BubblaV validates the key with a live API call and adds the three Lodgify tools to your chatbot.
5

Test

Ask the chatbot which rentals you have, then ask about availability for dates in the future.

​
Available Tools After Connection

Guest names, phone numbers, and key codes are never shown in the chat.

​
Limits

  • Without a specific rental, the chatbot checks the first 10 rentals per question and asks which rental the guest wants.
  • Stays can be up to 30 nights, and check-in up to one year ahead.
  • Prices come from Lodgify and can change at checkout.
  • The chatbot does not create, change, or cancel bookings.

​
Email Verification

The chatbot asks visitors to verify their email with a 6-digit code before it shows booking data. You can turn this off with the Require email verification switch in the Tools section. It is on by default. See Email Verification.

​
Troubleshooting

Copy the key again from Lodgify Settings → Public API and paste it in full.
The booking ID and the email address must both match the booking. For privacy, the chatbot gives the same answer when the ID is unknown, the email does not match, or the booking was deleted.
If BubblaV shows Connected, but the chatbot tools were not added, or tools are missing, open the integration’s Configure page and click Sync Tools. Then check that the Lodgify tools are enabled.
Security: Your API key is stored encrypted. A visitor must give both the booking ID and the matching verified email to see a booking.
