Platform integrations

Your booking platforms, connected to Joinways

Peerspace, Giggster, Tagvenue, The Knot, WeddingWire and the rest: every inquiry you receive lands in Joinways. You reply from the platform, with nothing to retype.

Nothing to connect on the platform side

Joinways works from what you already receive.

Once handled from the panel, the request lives in Joinways, connected to the tools your venue already uses.

  • Your inbox

    Platform messages and your emails with the client sit on the same request.

    GmailOutlook

  • The team calendar

    The confirmed booking appears in Google Calendar or Outlook, without retyping.

What the extension does not do

These limits are deliberate.

  • It sends nothing

  • It replaces nothing

  • It only reads recognized platforms

  • It does not decide

What is a Chrome extension for booking platforms for?

Booking platforms (Peerspace, Giggster, Tagvenue, The Knot, WeddingWire, Eventective…) send venue inquiries by email, then expect the reply and the quote inside their own interface. So the venue works in two places: the platform to reply, its management tool to keep track. The extension removes the round trip: it shows Joinways in a side panel, on the platform's page.

It is not an integration in the usual sense. No platform gives the venues it lists technical access to handle their requests, and the extension does not need it: it reads what the screen shows, as you do, and writes where you would have typed. Whatever it learns about a platform is reused for the next requests.

Decisions are made in the inbox, and the platform only carries them out. The panel does what requires being on the page: read the request, write into the form, report the status. Creating the event, placing the hold, finding the client's history happens in Joinways, one click from the panel.

From the platform page to the quote, in four steps

  1. 01

    Recognize

    The panel links the open page to the Joinways request, by its address, its reference or its content.

  2. 02

    Complete

    What the email did not carry is read on the page and added to the request's empty fields.

  3. 03

    Reply

    The panel checks availability, prepares a draft and inserts it into the platform's messaging.

  4. 04

    Proposal

    The Joinways proposal fills in the platform's quote form or is attached as a PDF, without being sent.

Why an extension rather than a direct integration?

Because platforms do not offer technical access to the venues they list. A direct integration would require an agreement per platform, renegotiated at every change. The extension works on the interface the platform already gives you.

It stays under your control: it only runs on recognized platforms, with the account you connected, and sends nothing on your behalf. A new platform is added on the Joinways side, with no new version to install.

Frequently asked questions about the Chrome extension

Which platforms does the extension work on?

The booking platforms Joinways recognizes: Peerspace, Giggster, Tagvenue, The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Eventective, LiquidSpace, Airbnb, HeadBox, Hire Space, Spacebase and others. The list is kept on the Joinways side and grows without updating the extension. On any other site, it does not run.

Does the extension send replies or quotes on my behalf?

No. It writes the draft into the platform's reply box and fills in the quote form, then stops. The Send button stays yours. Proposed status changes only apply when you click.

What exactly does it read?

The visible text of the request page on a recognized platform: the brief, the contact, the conversation thread. That text is sent to the Joinways workspace you connected, where an AI model (OpenAI) extracts the request's fields from it. Nothing is read on other sites, nothing is sold or shared. Usage telemetry carries only the action name, the platform and the workspace, never the page content.

Can it overwrite data already entered?

No. It only fills empty fields, in Joinways and in the platform's form alike. A phone number already entered or an amount already written stays as it is.

How do I install and connect it?

Install it from the Chrome Web Store, open Joinways in a tab, then click Connect in the panel. The workspace is detected from the open tab. The connection renews itself and can be revoked at any time from Joinways' integrations.

I run several venues. Does the panel see all of them?

Yes. Availability is computed across every venue and space of the connected workspace, detailed venue by venue. The same request an organizer sent to several of your venues is recognized as one request.

Is it included in the subscription?

Yes. The extension is included in the Joinways subscription and in the free trial, with no extra fee and no seat limit. Each team member connects it with their own account.

Which browsers are supported?

Google Chrome, version 114 or newer, on desktop. Chromium-based browsers that install from the Chrome Web Store generally work, but we do not test them. There is no mobile version.

My platform is not recognized. What now?

Write to us with the platform's address. It is added on the Joinways side, with no new version of the extension, and then works for every venue using it.

What happens when the platform closes or accepts the request?

The panel reads the status the platform shows, compares it with the request's state in Joinways and proposes the move that realigns them: confirm, mark as lost, retrieve the quote. You click, Joinways applies. The event, the hold or the loss then shows up in the schedule and the reports.

Some platforms require the proposal to go through them. Does Joinways respect that?

Yes. For those platforms (Kactus and Funbooker in France, for example), the Joinways proposal shows “Submit on the platform” instead of the send button, and no automation sends email outside the platform. You submit the proposal from the side panel, and the version you sent comes back to the event.
