Dario Schiraldi : How do I keep my travel website updated with real-time availability?

Hey ​@darioschiraldi25 , thanks for dropping by to our community :) I would definitely recommend checking out Typeform’s API documentation to help you with this. Our Responses API for example allows you to access the data you collect without the need for webhooks or third-party integrations. 

I’d love to hear from others in the community about any real world use cases for travel websites that are already running projects like these. Perhaps someone here has some experience – ​@picsoung ​@amy.carlson ​@andrew_videoask have any of you come across examples of travel websites who are using Typeform for calling booking information in real time? Might be a long shot :P

Thanks for the ping ​@James ! I know Nico had worked with our Enterprise customer Barry’s to help with their class registration, it’s a different industry but the principle feels similar.

Here’s a blog article the team wrote about it: https://www.typeform.com/blog/how-barrys-took-the-heavy-lifting-out-of-event-signups

This is great ​@amy.carlson thanks for sharing – looks like a very cool solution indeed (wouldn’t expect anything less from Nico!) ​@darioschiraldi25 hopefully the article Amy shared can provide some inspiration, even if it’s not quite the same use case.

Hey ​@darioschiraldi25 

One way to achieve this is to have a process that updates your form regularly.
This process could be written in code or leverage workflow tools like Zapier, Make, or n8n.

You define how often the process should run, such as every hour or once a week.

Regardless of the solution you pick, the flow should be very similar to the following:

• get availabilities from your platform
• get the latest version of the form (Retrieve form endpoint)
• modify the JSON of the form to reflect the availabilities 
• update the form passing the modified JSON (Update form endpoint)
• Your form is published with the latest availabilities ✅

Hope this makes sense

Hey ​@darioschiraldi25 hope you had a good week. Let us know if ​@amy.carlson and ​@picsoung helped here, or if you have any follow up questions 😊
