Adding Bokun to your dashboard and importing tours

Everything you need to connect Bokun to Tourpublish, configure your API key correctly and get your inventory live after our latest platform upgrade.

Important

This update only applies to operators using Bokun.

As part of our major platform upgrade we rebuilt our reservation platform integrations. To ensure your inventory and KLNKs benefit from the latest technology, a one time re-import is required.

The good news is that this will not need to be done again. Once your inventory has been synchronised with the new system, our upgraded integration will keep your tours up to date automatically. Changes made inside Bokun sync with Tourpublish dynamically, removing the need for future manual re-imports.

Bokun users, API key requirements

Before importing your inventory, please ensure your Bokun API key is configured as follows: Title set to Tourpublish, Role set to Admin, Booking Channel set to Payment links, and Allow offline payment turned off.

What you need to do

If you use Bokun, please follow these simple steps.

Sign in. Log in to your Tourpublish dashboard.
Connect your reservation platform. Go to Integrations and connect your Bokun account if it is not already connected.
Import your inventory. Select Import Inventory and allow Tourpublish to synchronise your latest tours and activities.
Generate new KLNKs. Once your inventory has been imported, generate new KLNKs for the experiences you want to promote.

As part of this one time upgrade, all previous KLNKs have been removed so that every new KLNK is built on our latest platform architecture and includes the new enhancements.
