Tokeet Connection Guide

How to Connect Tokeet to Lake.com for Seamless Vacation Rental Management

Integrating your Tokeet account with Lake.com lets you import and manage your vacation rental listings with less manual work. You keep Tokeet as your operational hub, and Lake.com becomes an additional distribution channel where lake travelers discover and book your properties. Follow the steps below to connect.

Step 1: Sign Up and Verify Your Lake.com Account

• Visit Lake.com and sign up with your email.
• After verifying your email, you’ll land on a confirmation page: “Congratulations, your account’s been created.”
• Indicate that you are a Host.

Step 2: Choose Import My Listings

• You’ll be asked whether you want to create a listing from scratch or import an existing listing.
• Select the option to Import my listings.

Step 3: Connect Tokeet

• Click Connect with Tokeet.
• If you signed up and are returning to Lake.com, access the connections in the “Me” menu in the top-right corner, then click “Connections”.

You’ll be prompted to enter your Tokeet API key.

• In a separate tab, log in to Tokeet and go to Settings and then Account Info.
• In the API key section, click Generate Key if you do not already have one.
• Copy your Tokeet API key (and your Account ID if Lake.com requests it), then paste it into Lake.com.
• Once you’ve entered the API key, click Connect.

Step 4: Confirm Connection

• A confirmation message will appear that says “Connected”
• Listings from Tokeet will automatically begin syncing to Lake.com.
• The first sync may take up to an hour, depending on the number of properties you have and the number of photos to import.

Step 5: View Imported Listings

• Listings may take a few seconds to appear. Refresh your screen if needed.
• Your property (for example, “Charming Apartment in the City”) will now be visible on your Lake.com Listings page.

Step 6: Manage Listings

• Make listing updates in Tokeet. Changes will sync to Lake.com automatically.
• After the first sync, information will be updated on Lake.com on an automatic schedule:
  • Static content, including property titles, descriptions, amenities, and photos, will be updated every 6 hours.
  • Dynamic content, such as calendar availability and pricing, will update every 5 minutes. If you use a dynamic pricing tool (for example, Beyond, PriceLabs, or Wheelhouse), those pricing changes can stay aligned on Lake.com as well.
• You can view how your property appears to guests on Lake.com.
• To temporarily hide a listing while maintaining the connection, toggle the status to Unlisted.

Step 7: Promote Your Listings

Share Your Lake.com Listing on Social Media

Once your listing is live, share your Lake.com property link across Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. Use strong photos, a seasonal offer, and one clear hook (private dock, lake view, hot tub) so prospects know why this stay wins.

Highlight Seasonal Specials or Updates

Keep your listing current by updating photos and seasonal details (summer paddleboards, fall color weekends, winter fireside stays). Updates made in Tokeet sync to Lake.com, so guests see accurate information at decision time.

Feature Your Lake.com Listing on Your Website or Email

If you have a website or newsletter, link directly to your Lake.com listing. This is a simple trust signal for repeat guests and referrals, and it helps you drive qualified traffic without adding operational complexity.

What Data Gets Synchronized Between Lake.com and Tokeet

The data that will get synchronized between Lake and Tokeet includes:

• First name, last name, profile picture, email address, and phone number
• Listing information such as name, address, and description (access and modify)
• Listing calendar (access and modify)
• Reservations (access and modify)
• Guest’s first name and profile picture (access)

Benefits of Integrating Tokeet with Lake.com

Connecting Tokeet with Lake.com reduces operational friction and expands distribution. You keep control in Tokeet, and Lake.com stays aligned on availability, pricing rules, and listing content so guests can book with confidence.

Centralized Management 

You run rates, messaging, and payments from one operational hub. Tokeet’s channel management is built to synchronize calendars across major channels and help prevent double bookings by keeping availability consistent everywhere you publish.

Automation and Efficiency

Automation is your margin. Tokeet supports automated workflows and messaging so you can notify guests and staff via email, SMS, or app notifications, reduce repetitive tasks, and keep the guest journey moving without manual follow-up for every booking.

Enhanced Reporting and Analytics

Use reporting to drive decisions, not to build spreadsheets. Tokeet supports reporting that helps you track performance across bookings, revenue inputs, and operational activity so you can spot issues early and stay on top of growth.

Scalability

As your portfolio grows, the system needs to hold. Tokeet is designed for both single operators and larger teams, so adding inventory and adding channels like Lake.com does not require rebuilding your workflow each season.

Seamless Guest Experience

Guests convert when the basics are solid: accurate availability, clear pricing, and timely communication. Calendar synchronization plus automated messaging reduces booking uncertainty and helps you deliver a consistent experience from inquiry to checkout.

Troubleshooting a Connection Between Tokeet

To troubleshoot access issues between Lake.com and Tokeet, use this sequence. Start with authentication, then validate data flow.

1. Check Connection Status

• Verify Integration: Confirm the Tokeet integration shows as connected in Lake.com (Integrations or Connections). If it is not connected, reconnect and approve again.
• Authentication: Re-check that your API key was entered correctly. If you regenerated the key in Tokeet, the old key is no longer valid.

2. Review API and Permissions

• API Permissions: Ensure your Tokeet account has an active API key and that you approved the requested access during setup so listings, calendars, and reservations can sync.
• API Key Location: In Tokeet, go to Settings and then Account Info, then use Generate Key if needed.

3. Test the Connection

• Manual Sync Test: Make a small change in Tokeet (for example, block one night or update a minimum stay) and confirm it reflects on Lake.com after the next sync window.
• Check Data Sync: If specific data is not syncing (for example, calendar availability), confirm the listing is active and correctly configured in Tokeet.

4. Network and Browser Issues

• Clear Cache: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry the connection flow.
• Firewall/Network Settings: If you are on a restrictive network or VPN, try a different connection to complete authorization.

5. Reconnect

• Reconnect the Integration: Disconnect and reconnect the integration to refresh credentials and permissions. This often resolves partial sync issues.

6. Contact Support

• Tokeet Support: If the issue persists, contact Tokeet support with your Account ID and the time the issue occurred so they can trace logs.
• Lake.com Support: Similarly, contact Lake.com’s support to confirm whether there are known issues or to request assistance with the integration process.
