π Anatomy of sharing links
Both general share links and booking links follow the same structure, using a security token to protect access to your guidebook. Each link consists of three parts: the base URL, your property's custom URL path, and a unique guest security token. For example:
https://app.smoothstay.io/guide/casa-koba?guest=Xxxx
Whereas:
Base link | https://app.smoothstay.io/guide/ |
Custom URL or slug | casa-koba |
Security token (only general share and booking links) | ?guest=Xxxxx |
The security token (?guest=Xxxxx) is what differentiates general share and booking links from public links. Public guidebooks don't include this token, making them openly accessible to anyone with the base URL except for restricted articles.
