PMS integration
Cloudbeds room types, on the event you are quoting
Cloudbeds bundles the property system, the channel manager and the booking engine into one platform, which is why so many independent hotels, inns and hostels run their rooms on it. The Joinways connection is not open yet. It will read room-type availability and rates from Cloudbeds and show them on the event record, without writing anything back.
Marked coming soon
Cloudbeds is listed in the PMS tab of your integration settings with a coming soon mark. No credentials to request yet.
One PMS contract, several providers
Mews already feeds the Accommodation block of the event record. Cloudbeds will feed the same block through the same contract: room types, nights, rooms sellable for the full stay, prices.
Your channel manager is untouched
Joinways reads availability. It does not push rates or inventory, so nothing it does can reach your OTAs through the Cloudbeds channel manager.
What the Cloudbeds connection will show
When a property sells rooms through Cloudbeds and events through Joinways, the residential inquiry is where the two meet, and the connection will bring them together automatically.
Room types and nightly availability
Each Cloudbeds room type, with the rooms free on every night of the stay and the number sellable for the entire stay, on the event record.
Rates as Cloudbeds sells them
Nightly prices and the stay total read from your Cloudbeds rates, so the figure quoted for the rooms matches what the booking engine would show.
One property, one connection
A connection will be attached to a single venue. Multi-property Cloudbeds accounts connect each property to its own venue.

- Rooms free on each night of the stay
- Rooms sellable for the whole stay, type by type
- Nightly prices and stay totals, from your Cloudbeds rates
- Property timezone and currency

What it does not do today
- Not connectable yet: Cloudbeds appears in the PMS tab of the integration settings, marked coming soon.
- Joinways reads nothing from Cloudbeds today. Room availability is still checked in Cloudbeds directly.
- When it opens, it will not write to Cloudbeds: no reservation, no block, no rate or inventory change.
- Mews and Apaleo are the property systems you can connect today.
Three situations it is built for
The inn that hosts a wedding weekend
Twelve rooms, Friday to Sunday, and the barn on Saturday. Once connected, the Accommodation block will show the rooms free on both nights and the stay total next to the barn quote.
The hostel selling a group stay with a meeting room
Forty beds and a workshop room for a student association. Availability per room type will be read at the moment of the answer, so the offer does not promise beds already sold on Booking.com.
Until the connection opens
The inquiry, the proposal and the follow-up already run in Joinways. Room availability is checked in Cloudbeds and added to your reply by hand.
Why connect Cloudbeds to your event software?
Cloudbeds presents itself as an all-in-one platform for independent lodging: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payments and guest messaging in a single system. For a small hotel that also hosts weddings and corporate retreats, it is the one screen where the rooms live.
The event side lives elsewhere. Someone asks whether forty rooms are free in October, and the answer requires opening Cloudbeds, checking each room type across the nights, and typing the result into a reply. The connection will read that picture from Cloudbeds when the event record is opened and show it next to the function-room availability. Cloudbeds stays the source of truth for rooms.
Without the connection, for now
The room answer is read in Cloudbeds and copied into the reply, with the delay and the occasional stale figure that implies.
Inquiries, proposals, contracts, planning and invoicing already run in Joinways, whatever your PMS is.
