Availability block with parent rooms

Question

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to the community to connect with others who are working with availability blocks that include parent rooms—i.e., room types that consist of two or more child rooms from different categories. We’re especially interested in setups where these blocks are used for seasonal or yearly contracts, and how availability is managed across those periods.Additionally, if anyone has experience integrating Zapier workflows into availability block management, we’d love to hear how you’ve approached automation or data syncing.Looking forward to exchanging ideas and best practices!Best,Adrian

Hi ​@adriahanI hope you’re doing well😊Thank you for posting your questions here. My name is Nadya from the Mews Support Team, and I’d be happy to assist with your queries!Could you please advise what specific setup do you need for availability blocks that include parent rooms?Feel free to share any specific scenarios if that’s easier to explain.Just to clarify, availability blocks that include parent rooms behave the same way as direct bookings in Mews. When a parent space is booked, all associated child spaces become unavailable. Similarly, booking a child space will also make the parent space unavailable. For more information, please refer to the guide here.Additionally, could you let me know what type of automation you’d like to create, update, or interact with via Zapier in relation to availability blocks? This will help me explore the best possible solutions or workarounds for your case.Looking forward to hearing from you soon, thank you in advance!Kind regards,Nadya

HI ​@nadya.bunjaminsorry for my late reply.Please be aware that we already tested a Zapier workflow, as the availablity of the child rooms need to be reduced manually. However we are facing further issues with the total availabilty.Our Customer Success Manager is already on it to find out the best solution for us.Thank you & best,Adrian
