- On the General page, configure the Listen Token, Integration Script, Health Check URL, and Update Booking URL parameters (see "How to Use" section below).
How to Use
The Authentication page contains the following settings and information:
- Health Check Interval: The interval in minutes at which the element will send health check messages to PlayBook.
- Health Check Status: The last status of the health check routine. Alarm monitoring is possible for this parameter.
- Authentication URL: The full URL used to initiate authentication to obtain a token, so that the element can send health check and update messages to PlayBook.
- Authentication Client ID and Secret: The ID and password to initiate the authentication.
The General page contains the following configuration parameters:
- Listen Token: A string value the element will validate to accept any message from PlayBook. The plain string has to be received in the header token (lower case).
- Integration Script: The name of the script that should be executed to update booking requests when a valid message arrives from PlayBook.
- Show Debugging Page: Shows or hides the Debug page.
- Health Check URL: The partial URL of the endpoint used to send a health check (ping). The full URL is composed by prepending the configured element's HTTP IP address/host to this parameter.
- Update Booking URL: The partial URL of the endpoint used to send autonomous update messages to PlayBook. The element's configuration is used to obtain a full URL, like for the Health Check URL
