If you would like guests to book your property via your Facebook page you can add a link to your booking engine, from your Facebook 'Call-To-Action' button. This link will take guests from your Facebook page straight to your NightsBridge booking engine with one tap or click.
By adding this link you also will be able to identify Facebook as the source of those bookings.
This feature only works for Facebook Business Pages, not Facebook Groups or Personal Profiles.
This example shows a property's Call-to-Action button that links the "Contact us" button to their NightsBridge direct booking engine.
Login to your Facebook business profile
- Log in to your Facebook Business profile page for your property.
Click on +Add a Button

Track your Facebook bookings
Any booking made after someone has clicked on this link in your Facebook profile will show up as 'Facebook' as that booking's 'Source' in NightsBridge.
You'll also see Facebook recorded as the booking source in all the reports where that is listed.
