Example ChatGPT-style output. Your live answer depends on the records and permissions available in Lodgify.
What this lets you do

Ask Lodgify operational questions without opening another dashboard.

"List this week's arrivals from Lodgify."

Arrival board with property, guest, and source.

"Which direct bookings have balances due?"

Payment follow-up list.

"Where do I have empty nights between bookings?"

Gap-night suggestions.

"Summarize reservations by rental."

Per-property booking snapshot.

How does this work?

ChatGPT uses a small private web connection to ask Lodgify read-only questions. You own that connection; it only talks to Lodgify when you ask ChatGPT something.

FAQ

Connecting Lodgify to ChatGPT

Is it safe to connect Lodgify to ChatGPT?

Yes, when you keep it read-only. Your Lodgify API key stays in a private connection you control, not inside ChatGPT, and this setup only reads data; it cannot create, change, or cancel reservations. Remove the ChatGPT app and delete the private connection to revoke access at any time.

What do I need to connect Lodgify to ChatGPT?

Three things: a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode (or custom MCP connectors) enabled, Lodgify admin access to obtain Lodgify API key, and a free Cloudflare account for the private connection.

Can ChatGPT change or cancel my Lodgify reservations?

No. This guide sets up a read-only connection, so ChatGPT can answer questions about your Lodgify bookings, guests, and calendar but cannot modify anything.

How long does it take to set up?

Plan on about 45-90 minutes if your Lodgify API key is ready. It can take longer when Lodgify requires API approval, partner access, or workspace admin approval before ChatGPT can scan the connector.

Why is ChatGPT returning empty or unauthorized results from Lodgify?

Most common Lodgify issue: the API key belongs to a user who cannot read all rentals. Website-owner and booking-manager permissions can differ in Lodgify.

Before you start

Have these ready.

Budget about an hour for connector setup once credentials are ready. Add more time if you need API approval, partner access, or workspace admin approval.

A paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode or custom MCP connectors enabled. Workspace plans may require admin approval.
Lodgify admin access to create or copy Lodgify API key.
A free Cloudflare account for the private connection.
Is this safe?

Keep the first version boring and read-only.

Lodgify credentials live in your private connection, not inside ChatGPT.
The v1 guide is read-only: no creating, changing, or cancelling reservations.
To undo access, remove the ChatGPT app and delete the private connection.
Do not paste payment-card data, passports, or private owner notes into test prompts.
Setup

Connect Lodgify to ChatGPT in 4 steps.

01

Get your Lodgify credentials

  • Open Lodgify as the account owner.
  • Create or copy an API key with booking and rental read access.
  • Paste the key into the setup screen.
02

Set up the private connection

  • Use a private Cloudflare Worker or managed setup path so PMS credentials stay outside ChatGPT.
  • Paste your Lodgify API key into the prompted fields.
  • Deploy the private connection and open the generated health page.
  • Confirm it says Connected to Lodgify before continuing.
03

Add it to ChatGPT

  • Open ChatGPT settings.
  • Go to Apps, open Advanced settings, and enable Developer mode.
  • Create a custom app from the remote server URL shown on the health page.
  • Complete the OAuth authorization screen.
04

Try operational prompts

  • Open a new chat and select the app from Developer mode.
  • Start with arrivals, departures, missing guest details, and occupancy questions.
Try it

Start with operational questions, not vague chatbot prompts.

List this week's arrivals from Lodgify.
Which direct bookings have balances due?
Where do I have empty nights between bookings?

Expected result: ChatGPT should answer with specific Lodgify records: property names, reservation dates, guest fields it is allowed to read, and a clear note when data is missing.

After it works

Good for one property. Thin for a real portfolio.

ChatGPT can answer Lodgify questions. Axelrod turns the same booking data into morning briefs, guest-message drafts, cleaner handoffs, pricing nudges, and an approval queue across your stack.

Troubleshooting

Lodgify issues first, generic OAuth issues second.

Website-owner and booking-manager permissions can differ in Lodgify.

Archived rentals should be hidden from the guide output to avoid confusing ChatGPT.

Most common Lodgify issue: the API key belongs to a user who cannot read all rentals.

Developer mode is missing: confirm the ChatGPT account or workspace can create custom apps, and ask the workspace admin if the option is hidden.

OAuth popup blocked: allow popups for ChatGPT, then reconnect the app.

The app returns empty results: check that the PMS user or token can read all properties, reservations, and guests.

The app returns unauthorized: rotate the PMS credential, redeploy the private connection, then reconnect ChatGPT.
