Switching on the Bookatable / Airship connector means that each time a customer makes a booking, the customer and booking data will be automatically sent to your Airship database.
Getting started
To get started, provide confirmation in writing to your Bookatable account manager that your data can be shared with Airship, requesting that Bookatable set up automatic data exports to Airship.
After confirmation has been provided, Bookatable will provide Airship with access to your data.
Once configured, Airship will automatically pull data from Bookatable exports in to your Airship database daily.
Historic data
If you would like historic data uploaded to your Airship database, ask your Bookatable account manager to send the historic data to Airship. You will need to inform them of the date range of the historic data you wish to upload.
