After a successful booking, our system has the ability to send a confirmation e-mail to the customer as well as to the hotelier. This is the same e-mail message received after a successful booking on the booking engine. Use this method to send these e-mail messages in cases you don't provide such a mechanism.

If you never do any post-processing and never plan to use /purge, then you can safely pass the &confirmation_email parameter during /book instead of using this method.

URL Endpoint

/reservation/confirmation_email

Note

This method is only accessible using a POST request.

To get a response in JSON, make sure you are also sending the Accept: application/json header.
