Connect OwnerRez to ChatGPT.
Ask your OwnerRez bookings, guests, and calendar questions in plain English. This guide shows the self-serve path first, then explains when Axelrod is the managed option.
For US-focused independent owners who want read-only booking answers in ChatGPT.

Ask OwnerRez operational questions without opening another dashboard.
Arrival list with property and stay dates.

Direct-channel booking list.
Reservations with operational notes surfaced first.
ChatGPT uses a small private web connection to ask OwnerRez read-only questions. You own that connection; it only talks to OwnerRez when you ask ChatGPT something.
Connecting OwnerRez to ChatGPT
Yes, when you keep it read-only. Your OwnerRez API credential 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.
Three things: a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode (or custom MCP connectors) enabled, OwnerRez admin access to obtain OwnerRez API credential, and a free Cloudflare account for the private connection.
No. This guide sets up a read-only connection, so ChatGPT can answer questions about your OwnerRez bookings, guests, and calendar but cannot modify anything.
Plan on about 45-90 minutes if your OwnerRez API credential is ready. It can take longer when OwnerRez requires API approval, partner access, or workspace admin approval before ChatGPT can scan the connector.
Most common OwnerRez issue: the API credential omits guest detail permissions. OwnerRez workflows often include custom fields; decide which fields should be safe to show ChatGPT.
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.
Keep the first version boring and read-only.
Connect OwnerRez to ChatGPT in 4 steps.
Get your OwnerRez credentials
- Open OwnerRez as an administrator.
- Create an API credential for read-only access to properties, bookings, and guests.
- Paste the credential into setup.
Set up the private connection
- Use a private Cloudflare Worker or managed setup path so PMS credentials stay outside ChatGPT.
- Paste your OwnerRez API credential into the prompted fields.
- Deploy the private connection and open the generated health page.
- Confirm it says Connected to OwnerRez before continuing.
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.
Try operational prompts
- Open a new chat and select the app from Developer mode.
- Start with arrivals, departures, missing guest details, and occupancy questions.
Start with operational questions, not vague chatbot prompts.
Expected result: ChatGPT should answer with specific OwnerRez records: property names, reservation dates, guest fields it is allowed to read, and a clear note when data is missing.
Good for one property. Thin for a real portfolio.
ChatGPT can answer OwnerRez questions. Axelrod turns the same booking data into morning briefs, guest-message drafts, cleaner handoffs, pricing nudges, and an approval queue across your stack.

OwnerRez issues first, generic OAuth issues second.
OwnerRez workflows often include custom fields; decide which fields should be safe to show ChatGPT.
US operators should avoid exposing payment details in a read-only setup.
Most common OwnerRez issue: the API credential omits guest detail permissions.
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.
