Linking to MS Access databases

We use an inhouse booking system which has at it's core a MS Access database. It would be nice when we take a phone booking to be able to upload it from our database to the Beds24 system and then syncronise it. Perhaps we could do this via ODBC and a script?

At the moment if you really want to do this you could with a script that logs you into Beds24 and posts the booking information to the Add Bulk Bookings page.
A far nicer option would be a companion function to the
https://www.beds24.com/api/getbookings.xml page.
I can imagine something like a putbookings.xml page that allows you to add bookings to beds24 using the same XML format.
If this would be useful please let me know and I will create it.

There is now a putBookings method available. See
https://www.beds24.com/api for more information.
To update or add new bookings using the API you create the appropriate XML containing the booking information and post it to the API
