Hi all,

we are using the SEF tool (form and spreadsheet, https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Sending_data_to_SEF) as we need to register our guests with authorities in Portugal. Guests get sent a link to the google form, and their ID details are then sent to the SEF through the spreadsheet.

But, we also need to retain some guest details INSIDE beds24, such as full name and birthdate from all guests: what is the right way to do that ?

I have tried setBooking (e.g. "guestFirstName": "Joe", "guestName": "Smith"), but this only changes the reservation holder, not the actual in-house guests ?

And how can I attach the birthdate in a meaningful way to the guest profile ? So that I can later reuse it with Auto Actions, etc.

There is an example on how to add additional guests to a booking in the MAKE wiki page :- https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Make# ... he_booking

As far as I understand (the screenshots from the example you are referring to have not been uploaded, it seems), the solution that is proposed is through the "Notes" field:

11. You will also need to add under “Notes” the following (See image) above

a. FirstName: - add the Make variable for the First Name

b. Last Name: - add the Make variable for the Last Name

c. Id Number: - add the Make variable for the ID Number

d. Birth Date: - add the Make variable for the Birth Date

But this will "add guests" to the reservation as a simple note, and not create new guest profiles, right ? So they are not added to the guest database, and generally do not exist as actual "guests" inside the system: is there no way, using the API, to add real guests to an existing reservation ?
