Giggle Express Content in Hotelmedia
If your hotel uses Giggle, your Giggle experiences are available directly in Hotelmedia News – as ready-made articles that you simply drag into your layout. You continue to maintain texts, images, dates and prices in one single place: in Giggle.
Hotelmedia News fetches the content automatically via the Giggle Express interface and keeps it up to date.
Requirements
- Your hotel uses Giggle and your experiences are set up there.
- Your Hotelmedia account is connected to your Giggle hotel. We set up the connection for you – for this we need your Giggle hotel code and the matching Giggle Express key. Just get in touch with us.
Only experiences that are visible in Giggle are imported. If you hide or delete an experience in Giggle, it also disappears from Hotelmedia News.
Where Do I Find the Giggle Content?
In the “Article” section of the sidebar you will find three folders:
Giggle Weekly Program
The appointments from your hotel’s weekly programme in Giggle for the coming days, sorted by day. Each appointment is a separate article; the time (e.g. “10:00 – 12:00”) is at the start of the text.
Giggle Activities
Experiences without a fixed date – e.g. offers, information about the hotel or opening hours – sorted by your Giggle categories. Experiences from the weekly programme that have no date in the next few days can also be found here.
Giggle Services
Bookable services from Giggle, sorted by your Giggle categories. The tickets with name, description and price are included in the article text automatically.
Click a folder to see the articles. The three folders only appear if your account is connected to Giggle.
Using and Editing Giggle Articles
Drag the article you want to the right position in the layout while holding down the mouse button – just like your own articles.
If you want to adapt a Giggle article for your edition, click “Edit” in the layout. When you save, your version is filed as a separate article under “Own articles – Giggle Edited” (unless you choose another category), and the associated image under “Own images – Giggle Edited”. The article in the Giggle folders remains unchanged.
TIP: Your edited version is a separate article – later changes in Giggle are no longer carried over into it. If a change should apply to all editions, it is better to change the content directly in Giggle.
Maintaining Content in Giggle
You maintain all content – texts, images, dates and prices – in your Giggle CMS at cms.giggle.tips. Hotelmedia News syncs the Giggle content about every two hours, so changes appear in your Giggle folders a short time later.
The Giggle content is imported in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish, as far as it is maintained in these languages in Giggle. That way it is also available for your translated editions.
TIP: If you change the fonts of your edition and click “Format Articles”, the Giggle articles are reformatted too. This can take several hours – so only take this step once your font settings are final.
Showing Hotelmedia Articles in Giggle
It also works the other way round: with the Digital Widget you show articles from Hotelmedia News, e.g. the daily menu, automatically and up to date in Giggle. Find out how in the quick guide Digital Widget.
