This article explains how to add an action/ interaction Facebook button and link it to your Cloudbeds Booking Engine page.
Overview
A Facebook interaction button works as a first point of communication with your potential guests. It can also redirect them to your booking engine to book a room at your property, which is a great solution, especially on mobile devices.
Things to note:
- The Book Now button is no longer available for external links, it is reserved for tools connected to Facebook.
- Before adding a call-to-action button, make sure that your Facebook page type is a business page, and not a personal profile. The Booking Engine link cannot be added to a personal profile. Learn more about the types of Facebook profiles and pages here.
Step 1 - Copy your Cloudbeds Booking Engine link
- In your Account menu, go to the Settings and click on the Booking Engine
- In the Summary tab, copy your Booking Engine URL
Step 2 - Add the Booking Engine link to the Facebook button
On your Facebook page:

Note that action/interaction button names may be slightly different depending on your current Facebook version.
