Your TrekkConnect Account
If your TrekkSoft subscription includes the Channel Manager solution, you will automatically receive a TrekkConnect account too!
If you are logging in for the first time, an account is automatically created. The account will be created with the details of the contact person entered in your Admin Desk Profile. You can find these details by going to your Admin Desk> Settings> Profile (for security reasons, you can only log in by using the email address associated with the Contact Person).
If you need additional users to be created or have trouble logging in with your TrekkConnect account, please contact your account manager or email us at support@trekksoft.com.

Mapping Your Tours & Activities On TrekkConnect
Now that you have logged in and set up your Trekkconnect account, we will show you how to map activities.
The example used in the video below is for a setup with Viator. however, the process is the same for other OTA (Online Travel Agents) setups.

Important: You will need to map each activity one-by-one. The video above shows an example of mapping one activity only.
Notify The Marketplace
Once you've mapped all of your products as shown in the tutorials above, you must notify the marketplace. Below are some of the most common OTA's and how to inform them:
- Notify Expedia
To notify Expedia that the mapping is complete, you must send them an email with a link to download your mapped activities. To get this link, when you have mapped your expedia activites, in the top right corner click show and copy link to mapped ID's as shown below (For more information please see our guide on Expedia.).
- TripAdvisor Experiences (previously known as Viator)
For TripAdvisor/Viator, you need to complete the mapping on their supplier extranet too. However, since it has the exact same IDs, products and product options as on TrekkConnect, this mapping process will be much quicker (For more information please see our help page for TripAdvisor Experiences/Viator).
