What can I find in My Connections?
In the My Connections section, you will find a list of all your connections and their accesses.
You can quickly filter your Accesses based on status, type, and whether they are active or not, or also filter directly by Hotel-X access Code, Supplier code, or Access name:
- Access Status:
- Working: The activation process was completed successfully and the access is available for use.
- Pending: The Access is in validation status and will switch to working or not working after validation.
- Not Working: One or more processes in the activation have failed and our connectivity team needs to review it manually.
- Extended information on "Not Working" status: additional information to speed up the Auto-Activation process:
-
Informative popup: Hover over the 'Not working' status to see an informative popup explaining why the auto-activation could not be completed.
-
Activation Cases: Case information assigned to the activation of that access. You can open the Case reference link to section "Support Portal" for more details about the current status of the activation.
-
- Extended information on "Not Working" status: additional information to speed up the Auto-Activation process:
- Access Type:
- Live: This is an access created with production credentials.
- Test: This is an access created with test credentials.
The access type (live or test) is determined by the credentials agreed upon by both the Buyer and Seller. It is the responsibility of both the Buyer and the Seller to agree on the type of credentials to be used for a given access.
- Access Active:
You can activate or deactivate your Hotel-X Accesses. Please note that you can only use Hotel-X Access Codes while they are active in our system.- Yes: Active and operational access.
- No: Inactive and non-operational access.

Buyer Integration Type: If you are browsing as a Seller, you can determine whether your Buyers are integrated with our Marketplace via the Legacy Pull Buyers API or the Hotel-X Pull Buyers API by checking the Buyer Integration type information. If the Buyer is using the latest version, Hotel-X, you'll see the "Hotel-X" label. If they are connected through our Legacy API, no label will be displayed.
In addition to the aforementioned information, you will also be able to view the following information at the access level:

- Edit access: Edit your current credentials for an access.
- Copy access: Copy a pre-existing access.
- Delete access: Remove unnecessary or invalid accesses.
- View Logs: View the history of changes made to an access.

Connections via Legacy Pull Buyers API
Please remember that when Buyer connections are established through our Legacy Pull Buyers API, the management of credential disconnections must be addressed not only through My Connections (at the access level) but also directly between the Buyer and Seller to ensure effectiveness — it is not enough to merely deactivate the Hotel-X Access Code in My Connections.
- If you wish to permanently deactivate a Legacy connection on our Platform, please submit a Case via our Portal - Remember, the deactivation of a Legacy connection would occur at the connection level, not at the credential level.
- If you need to deactivate a specific set of credentials, the deactivation should be managed directly between Buyer and Seller. This ensures that the Buyer stops sending traffic from their system using those particular credentials - please make sure to activate/deactivate the Hotel-X Access Code as well, so that it reflects the actual traffic sent by the Buyer.
