Connect Lodgify
How to connect Lodgify with the API key, map properties, and what arrives afterwards: real-time bookings, messages, and door code.
Updated on November 12, 2026
With the Lodgify integration, your bookings arrive in Xentra in real time, guest messages run through the Xentra inbox, and Xentra can write a value like the door code back to the Lodgify booking.
Find API key in Lodgify
You can find the API key in Lodgify under Settings → Integrations → API.
Connect
- Open PMS & iCal and click Connect for Lodgify.
- Enter the API Key, optionally a connection name.
- "Test connection" shows how many properties Lodgify delivers. Then "Save connection".
- Under "Property mapping", assign each Lodgify property to a Xentra unit or "Import as new unit"; "Import all" takes all pending ones at once. If you create new properties in Lodgify later, you fetch them with "Refresh".
Xentra registers the webhooks for real-time bookings in Lodgify automatically when saving. You do not enter a URL anywhere.
Connected via iCal before? If Xentra finds iCal connections or iCal bookings when saving, it offers to delete them so that no booking appears twice in the calendar. If the cleanup is not completely successful, Lodgify will not be connected; try again then.
What arrives
- Bookings in real time via the webhook. You can fetch older bookings in the dialog under "Sync bookings": Quick Sync fetches the last year up to 2 years into the future, Full Sync 5 years back.
- Messages from your guests land in the Xentra inbox, your replies go to the guest via Lodgify.
- Bookings from Xentra, for example from your booking tool, can be passed by Xentra to Lodgify so that Lodgify blocks the period.
Values back to Lodgify
Xentra writes a placeholder value, for example the door code, into a field of the Lodgify booking. Lodgify only has one field for this, so only one such rule can be active per connection. How this works in general: see PMS integrations: what each PMS can do.
Disconnect
In the Lodgify dialog "Disconnect". This removes all property mappings; this cannot be undone.
