Visibility & sharing

Anatomy of sharing links

Both general share links and reservation 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 slug, 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 slug

casa-koba

Security token (only general share and reservation links)

?guest=Xxxxx

The security token (?guest=Xxxxx) is what differentiates general share and reservations 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.
