Booking Import Service

Lyfshort makes it easy to manage one master itinerary across ranges of different suppliers.

Itinerary Items such as flights, accommodation, trains, transfers, activities, parking, cruises, buses, events, ferries can all be imported by forwarding supplier confirmation emails received to go@lyfshort.com

How does it work?

Forward supplier confirmation emails received to go@lyfshort.com, they will then be visible within the Import Manager of the Lyfshort account with the matching registered email address they were forwarded from.

The Import Manager is accessible within Lyfshort by :

1. Pressing the Import Manager icon in the header
2. Pressing the Import Manager icon from within an item
3. Using the bottom right green + menu button on the main Trips and Events list screen

Once the email has been forwarded the content will be scanned and parsed to create single or multiple Import Document(s). Their content is then used to automatically :

1. Create new Trips or Events
2. Create new Items
3. Update existing Trips or Events
4. Update existing Items
5. Associate and Attach to existing Items

Import Documents can be created for most supplier emails however scanning relies on the information forwarded to the Import Service being :

– From a recognised supplier
– In a standard format
– In a recognised language

Once an email is successfully received it will be visible in the Import Manager. As the scanning process occurs it’s status will appear as “Pending”.
Import Documents typically take a few minutes to appear following the email, however if manual review is required, can take up to a few days.
If the scanning and parsing process is successful the new Import Document(s) will appear for use below the forwarded email.
If it is unsuccessful and the Import Document(s) cannot be created, the status flag will change from “Pending” to “Unsuccessful”.

Irrespective of whether parsing and creation the Import Document is successful, the forwarded email (.PDF) and associated files will still also be available to view and attach to itinerary items from the Import Manager in Lyfshort.

Do’s & Don’ts
  • Do not forward a supplier email from an email address other than the one on your registered Lyfshort profile, it will not work.
  • Email content should be the original booking confirmation email provided by the supplier.
  • Do not write out your travel itinerary manually and send it to the service it is unlikely to be successful. Forward the original confirmations from the suppliers.
  • Try and forward the email straight from the supplier without additional forwards from multiple email accounts, in some situations this can modify the formatting.
  • Photos or scans of bookings/itineraries will not be parsed.
  • Boarding passes or tickets with barcodes only, missing key information, will not be parsed.
  • Try and include only one booking/itinerary per email, in some situations multiple bookings will fail.
  • Encrypted or password protected PDF’s cannot be parsed
  • Supplier booking emails must have all required information in order to successfully parse. If an email is missing a key required information, the parse will fail.
  • We are only able to parse the data exactly how it is provided in the email. We do not generally use additional resources to look up additional information if it’s not available in the original email.

After forwarding a booking confirmation email to go@lyfshort.com the following process will occur :
