Retrieving missed reservations¶

Use the GET /reservations-flow-control/missed-reservations endpoint to retrieve missed reservations for all your properties.

When processing reservations using OTA endpoints, after processing the missed reservations in your system, make sure to send an acknowledgement for those reservations so that Booking.com's records are updated as well:

To acknowledge missed confirmation messages, see Acknowledging new reservations.
To acknowledge missed modification or cancellation messages, see Acknowledging modified or cancelled reservations.

We recommend calling the GET /reservations-flow-control/missed-reservations endpoint at least once every 30 minutes.

The feature 'Enable Reservation Recovery API' is deactivated by default

To start implementing the Reservations Recovery API, contact the Connectivity support team who will activate the feature for you.

With the feature enabled, the timeout period to trigger the fallback email changes from 30 minutes to 24 hours with the exception of reservations whose check-in date is within the next 48 hours. For such reservations, the fallback email is triggered immediately after the 30-minute timeout period.

Deactivation of the usage of the last_change query parameter while retrieving reservation messages

Because Reservations Recovery API helps you retrieve missed reservations messages, you no longer need to use the last_change query parameter while retrieving reservations messages using either OTA or B.XML endpoints.

Therefore, after you enable the feature 'Enable Reservation Recovery API', continuing to use the last_change query parameter will return the following error response: invalid last_change value - an ISO 8601 date and time (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss), at most 30 minutes ago because you are a part of the Reservation Recovery program.
