OfferFlow / Direct sales for hotels & apartments

OfferFlow

Make more of every enquiry. Give your team time back.

The Auto-Engine checks availability, prepares suitable offers with upgrade options and follows up. Targeted discounts can help guests decide. Vouchers give them a reason to book directly again.

Automatic where it fits. With approvals where you want to decide.

One offer. An extra choice.

A suitable room and an optional upgrade, side by side.

Example with optional features. Sending, discounts and marketing follow your settings and approval rules.

01 / At the heart: the Auto-Engine

Keep your direct sales moving.

An enquiry arrives. The Auto-Engine checks availability, direct rates and guest preferences, puts together suitable options and sends the offer according to your rules. Your team can focus on guests who need personal advice.

Suitable options without the long search

Occupancy, price and requested amenities inform the selection. Where genuine alternatives exist, an offer can show up to three options: best match, lowest price and a suitable upgrade.

Follow up with a useful next step

OfferFlow sends a reminder before the offer expires. Available alternative dates can follow, and a later reactivation email leads back to the enquiry form. Each stage can be configured separately.

Your rules stay in charge

In test mode, offers remain drafts. Offers above your value or party-size thresholds require approval. Your team can review and edit offers in the builder.

02 / The everyday benefits

More ways to win the guest.

Booking value

Make upgrades visible

Present a higher-value alternative within the offer. Guests see the additional benefits and price difference and can make an informed choice.

Targeted incentives

Use discounts selectively

An optional upgrade discount or an incentive in the reminder email can help guests decide. You set the rules and exceptions; follow-ups can also be sent without an extra discount.

The next stay

Invite guests back with vouchers

Personal vouchers in campaigns or birthday emails give past guests a specific reason for their next direct booking. You control the audience, conditions and approvals.

Less manual follow-up

Keep track of open offers

Reminders, alternative dates and reactivation emails keep the conversation going. Your team sees the status and history and can step in when a personal call would help.

03 / The complete picture

See what happens to your enquiries.

Offer status, bookings and campaign results come together in one overview. Your team can see where to step in.

04 / Marketing & guest retention

Keep the conversation going after check-out.

The marketing module brings together guest segments, newsletters and voucher campaigns. Give past guests a relevant reason to plan their next stay.

Audiences based on stays

Summer guests, families or returning guests, for example: segments use connected stay data and can be filtered by property.

A reason to reconnect

Prepare newsletters, seasonal offers, event campaigns and birthday vouchers. Adapt the design and copy to your property.

05 / AI assistance

Practical support for your team.

AI assists at clearly defined points in the workflow. These features are optional and are set up using your own OpenAI or Anthropic account.

Read enquiries

Extract dates, party size and preferences from emails. Unclear or conflicting details are referred to your team for review.

Prepare copy

Create drafts for newsletters, campaigns and birthday emails. Your team refines the tone, content and offer.

Research local events

Get suggestions for events near your properties, with sources. Dates are checked before being marked as confirmed.

Automated offers follow the configured rules. AI suggestions and researched dates go through the appropriate review steps.

06 / Connected to your systems

A workflow that fits your operation.

Apaleo

Use properties, availability and rates, and create bookings from offers. OfferFlow can be embedded in the account and property menus in Apaleo One.

Website & email

Add an enquiry form as a link or embed, and bring email enquiries into the offer workflow.

Guest data & marketing

Use guest segments with your configured data source from Apaleo or the cockpit connection. Chatlyn consent and unsubscribes can be taken into account through the cockpit.

With a configured Chatlyn integration, your website AI can show suitable options and pass an enquiry to OfferFlow after explicit guest confirmation. Features depend on your plan, accounts and connections. Other PMS integrations are assessed individually.

Two plans. Self-service setup included.

Four steps to your first offer.

Guided setup is available in German and English. Your team checks the result before switching on live automation.

  1. Workspace and Apaleo

    Register, verify your email and set up your workspace. Connect Apaleo and select your properties. Connection through the Store requires Apaleo certification.

  2. Prepare your offers

    Choose direct rate plans and VAT rates. Configure room content, branding, city tax, terms and sender details.

  3. Plan and documents

    Review the price summary in your workspace and choose a plan. The owner confirms the platform documents in the setup wizard.

  4. Test and activate

    Check a test offer in dry-run mode. Automated offers remain drafts in test mode. Offers sent manually reach real guests. Activate live sending deliberately.

Detailed setup and connection guide

Before you connect

You need an OfferFlow workspace and an Apaleo user with the permissions required for your properties. These are two separate logins. Prepare your direct rate plans, tax rates, room content, branding and sender address. Use an Apaleo test account and internal test email addresses for a complete booking test.

Permissions used by OfferFlow

OfferFlow reads properties and room categories (setup.read), rates and offers (rates.read, offers.read), and availability (availability.read). Reservation permissions support creating bookings and reading reservation status or stay history (reservations.manage, reservations.read). openid and profile identify the connecting user; offline_access keeps the connection active. integration:ui-integrations.manage supports embedding OfferFlow in Apaleo One. Review the displayed permissions before granting access.

Connect and complete your first test

Open OfferFlow in its own browser tab. Sign in to the correct workspace and choose “Connect with Apaleo” in the setup wizard or Settings → Apaleo & properties. Select the correct Apaleo account and approve the permissions. On your return, check the connection status and property selection. Configure direct rate plans, taxes, content and sender details. Check a test offer, its email/PDF and the guest page. A complete test booking must then appear in your Apaleo test account with the correct details and amounts.

Daily use and connection problems

Create offers manually or work through incoming enquiries. Activate the Auto-Engine only after checking its settings; in test mode, automatic offers remain drafts. Manually sent offers and their follow-up emails go to the addresses you enter. OfferFlow refreshes its Apaleo access in the background. If the connection is shown as interrupted, check the Apaleo permissions and reconnect the same account. If a booking result is unclear, first check the reservation in Apaleo before trying to book again.

Disconnecting

Review open offers, sending and campaigns first. Disconnect in OfferFlow under Settings → Apaleo & properties. OfferFlow removes its stored Apaleo access and attempts to remove its webhook subscriptions and Apaleo One entries. Check the completion message; if it reports remaining entries, have them checked in your Apaleo account. Alternatively, an Apaleo administrator can revoke access under “Connected apps”. Disconnecting does not automatically cancel your platform contract or delete all data. Contact support about contracts, exports and deletion; the linked platform documents apply.

Help and platform documents

The full handbook is available under Help after signing in. Contact OfferFlow support by email.

Good to know before you start.

Does OfferFlow replace our PMS?

OfferFlow extends Apaleo with an offer and direct sales workflow. Availability and rates come from Apaleo, and bookings are created there.

Does everything have to be sent automatically?

You can start with manual offers and a test mode. Approval thresholds and follow-up rules are configured for your operation.

Are marketing and AI included automatically?

The base plan includes the offer workflow, Auto-Engine and optional AI assistance. Marketing is included in OfferFlow Plus. AI requires your own provider account and may incur separate usage charges.

Do the images show real guest data?

All properties, campaigns and figures shown are fictional. The images are simplified product illustrations and contain no customer data.

Necessary features

Always active

DTO serves pages, images and animations from its own server. Submitting the process check sends your details to DTO, which forwards them by email. The page address determines the language.

Storage details

After you choose, your privacy preference is saved for 180 days as “dto-privacy-choice” in local browser storage. It contains voice permission, a version and timestamps; no tracking identifier or form entries. Expired entries are removed on your next visit.

Optional voice input

Provider: your browser’s speech recognition service, depending on the browser you use. When you dictate, it may process audio on its servers. DTO receives the recognised text and does not store an audio recording. Allowing this feature does not start recording: you must also click the microphone button and grant browser permission if requested.

Analytics, marketing & embedded media

Not used

This website does not embed analytics or advertising trackers, external fonts, maps or video players. The network and OfferFlow animations run locally in your browser.
