At this point, a TripleSeat authentication pop-up will open.

If everything is successful, you will see a confirmation message indicating that TripleSeat is connected successfully.

If the connection fails, double-check your UID and Secret and ensure you completed the approval steps in the TripleSeat pop-up.
Step 3: Confirm the Connection
Once connected:
- The TripleSeat tile will show a Connected status
- Novela will begin importing eligible bookings
- You can disconnect at any time from the same screen if needed
Booking Import Rules
To avoid incomplete or tentative data, Novela only imports bookings that meet the following criteria:
- Booking status in TripleSeat must be Definite
Tentative, prospect, or inquiry-level bookings will not be imported until they reach Definite status in TripleSeat.
Troubleshooting
If the connection fails:
- Double-check that the UID and Secret were copied correctly
- Confirm the Redirect URI matches exactly:
https://app.novelaweddings.com/oauth/tripleseat - Verify that Bookings: Read permission is enabled
- Ensure your TripleSeat user has permission to manage API applications
If issues persist, contact Novela support with your venue name and a description of the error.
