Bridge calls allow a third party application to create, modify, or cancel a Bridge Record (containing registrant information) which can then be used to create a reservation as part of a subsequent step or process. These messages are based on the OpenTravel (OTA) standards and the order in which these messages are used must be followed. For example, you cannot use the Create Bridge call to modify an existing bridge. Many of the required elements for bridge messages can be received from the response from an availability call. For message samples, see here.
Create Bridge
The Create Bridge call allows an external system to create a Bridge Record within Passkey to store an attendee’s information. Cvent Passkey will respond with an attendee specific BridgeID. It is important to note that while attendee information associated and stored with a Bridge Record is similar to information stored with a housing reservation, it is not an actual reservation. Once a Bridge Record is saved it can be retrieved using the Bridge ID and used to create a housing reservation. For a sample of this request, see here.
Get Bridge
The Get Bridge call allows an external system to retrieve details for a particular Bridge Record. For a sample of this request, see here.
Create from Bridge
This message allows the external system to create a reservation using details from an existing Bridge Record using the Bridge ID. Aside from the header information available in the message sample, it requires that a bridge ID be supplied. An error results if the required information to create a reservation is not contained in the Bridge ID. For a sample of this request, see here.
Modify Bridge
This message allows the external system to modify an existing Bridge Record using the Bridge ID. Aside from the header information available in the message sample, it requires that a bridge ID be supplied. For a sample of this request, see here.
Cancel Bridge
This message allows the external system to cancel an existing Bridge Record using the Bridge ID. Aside from the header information available in the message sample, it requires that a bridge ID be supplied. For a sample of this request, see here.
