Lynx offers keyless solutions for your rental and gives you the option to let your guests in without having to be there in person. To use Lynx Virtual Keys with Lodgify you need to connect both accounts via API in order to synchronize Lodgify bookings with Lynx.

Complete your property details in Lynx
To finalize the connection and make sure that Lynx is able to read your property information from Lodgify correctly, you need to complete your property details in Lynx.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Go to Properties in your Lynx account and click Add property.
- Now select Lodgify in the first dropdown. Then, simply start typing the name of your listing in the field Search for Property, and select the property that you want to create. The rental information will be added automatically, and the property will be linked to your one in Lodgify in order to start syncing reservations.
- Then enter the default Access Time for the rental, which indicates within which timeframe/date range the code will be valid. Then click Next.
💡 Note: This information will also be included in the message to the guest when using the tags Check-in Time and Checkout Time. - Now select the plan that fits your needs.
Plan Details Messaging Only Choose this plan if you will be using static access information and only need automated messaging deployed for each stay.
