SWITCH FROM SITEMINDER
SiteMinder to Calisto Sync

Questions about switching
Is a channel connected in Stays or Dine the same one Sync shows?
Yes. A channel is connected once, in the app you work in or in Sync, and every app it serves reads the same connection, health and logs.
What happens when a channel refuses a push?
Channel Health shows the issue with numbered steps to fix it and a one-tap retry, and the team is told on their phones when nobody was watching.
Can we connect a channel Calisto has not built?
Request setup opens a ticket, and the connector is built with the first business that asks.
