Connect Furama iPMS

Quick Setup

Ask your Furama contact for all required connection details before you start. Setup takes about 10 minutes.

This guide helps you connect a property to Furama iPMS and confirm the connection is active.

Go to: Settings → Essentials → PMS Integration

Before You Start

Confirm these requirements:

  • Your property has been enabled for Furama iPMS
  • You can edit Settings → Essentials
  • You have the full iPMS API URL, including its service path
  • You have the organisation unit, user code, and API key
  • You know whether the property needs either optional value
Keep the API key private

Do not send the API key in screenshots or support messages. AVA masks the saved value after setup.

Connect the Property

  1. Go to Settings → Essentials.
  2. Open PMS Integration.
  3. Select Furama iPMS as the PMS provider.
  4. Enter the iPMS Base URL.
  5. Enter the Organisation Unit.
  6. Enter the User Code.
  7. Enter the API Key.
  8. Add the optional Control Unit when Furama provided a separate value.
  9. Add the optional Business User Code when it differs from User Code.
  10. Click Save PMS Settings.

✓ The page shows "Furama Integration Configured." ✓ The API key stays masked after the page reloads.

Use the published iPMS connection

AVA selects the current Furama adapter automatically. You do not need to choose an adapter version.

Verify Daily Operations

After saving, verify the property with a safe test reservation.

  1. Open Reservations.

  2. Search for a known Furama booking.

  3. Confirm its guest, room, stay dates, and status.

  4. Open Rates & Availability and confirm expected rate plans appear.

  5. Confirm room status appears in Housekeeping.

  6. Complete your approved test check-in and check-out flow.

    ✓ AVA shows only the actions supported by the connected iPMS property.

Capability-based controls

Some AVA actions depend on the active PMS connection. Unsupported controls stay hidden or disabled instead of sending an unsafe request.

Update Connection Details

  1. Return to Settings → Essentials → PMS Integration.

  2. Update the non-secret fields you need to change.

  3. Click Edit Secret only when replacing the API Key.

  4. Enter the new API key.

  5. Click Save PMS Settings.

    ✓ Leaving the masked API key unchanged keeps the current secret.
