Map Birdeye around the FareHarbor booking workflow
ConvertLocal starts by understanding how your tours, private charters, rentals, and activities are actually scheduled. The right automation should respect booking status, activity timing, and guest experience.
FareHarbor availability and booking views help operators identify the customer moments that can trigger better follow-up.
Connect FareHarbor and Birdeye by location
Connected apps should be reviewed by location so guest messages, review requests, and inbox conversations stay attached to the correct tour operation.
Connected apps confirm that FareHarbor booking activity and Birdeye communication workflows are tied to the right location.
Confirm the live webhook
The webhook is the bridge between booking activity and automated communication. ConvertLocal checks this connection before enabling customer-facing workflows.
A live webhook confirmation tells the team that FareHarbor booking activity is reaching the workflow layer.
Keep the automation visible
A workflow list makes it easier to see which FareHarbor trigger is connected, what action is planned in Birdeye, and whether the workflow is only monitoring or ready to send.
Operators can monitor the automation that listens for FareHarbor booking changes and routes the next step into Birdeye.
Audit each booking event
Line-of-sight records help confirm which bookings were received, which status they carry, and which confirmation, reminder, or review steps are open.
Line-of-sight views help confirm which records were received, what status they are in, and whether confirmation, reminder, and review steps are queued.
Build SMS copy with FareHarbor fields
Booking confirmation and reminder texts should use mapped fields so each guest receives the activity name, date, time, and useful trip details.
The automation builder turns booking fields like first name, activity name, date, and time into guest-ready SMS messages.
Build confirmation, reminder, and post-tour messaging
Before reviews, guests need useful communication: confirmations, arrival details, what to bring, weather updates, and reminders. Birdeye can then support the post-experience review request where the setup supports it.
Automation planning turns booking, reminder, arrival, and post-tour moments into consistent guest communication.
Configure review requests by SMS and email
Review requests should be short, timely, and routed to the destinations that matter for bookings, such as Google or Tripadvisor when available in the account.
A review request can route happy guests toward Google, Tripadvisor, or another priority review destination.
Monitor review generation and replies
After launch, the team should watch requests sent, reviews received, low-star feedback, and unanswered reviews so reputation management becomes consistent.
The Birdeye dashboard gives tour teams a practical view of review generation, ratings, and unanswered reviews.
Centralize guest conversations
Tour operators can use webchat, texting, and inbox workflows to keep pre-booking and post-booking questions visible across the team.
A shared inbox keeps webchat, text, and social conversations organized so guest questions do not sit unanswered.
Handle credentials and webhook details carefully
Integration work may involve API keys, user permissions, webhooks, or connector settings. ConvertLocal helps keep setup organized and tested before customer-facing messages go live.
API keys and webhook settings should be handled carefully during setup; credentials should never be exposed in public documentation.

FAQs
Can ConvertLocal help with the FareHarbor Birdeye integration?
Yes. ConvertLocal can help map the guest workflow, confirm available trigger options, configure Birdeye review request logic, set up texting and inbox workflows, and test the experience before launch.
What FareHarbor trigger is best for review automation?
Most operators should avoid asking for reviews at booking. The better trigger is typically after the activity is completed, after the guest has checked in, or after another completed-experience milestone depending on the setup.
Can this help my tour company get more Google reviews?
It can help by making review requests more consistent and better timed. Results depend on guest volume, service quality, review request copy, routing, and team follow-through.
Can Birdeye manage Tripadvisor reviews?
Birdeye may support review monitoring, routing, or management workflows for Tripadvisor depending on account configuration and supported sources. ConvertLocal can help confirm what is available in your account.
Can guests text our business number?
Birdeye can support business texting and shared inbox workflows for many businesses. Availability depends on number setup, registration, compliance requirements, and account configuration.
How long does setup take?
The timeline depends on account access, trigger availability, field mapping, and how many locations or tours are involved. A simple review workflow is usually faster than a full messaging, webchat, and automation buildout.
Do we need a developer?
Some setups can be handled with platform configuration and connector tools. More customized workflows may require technical setup, webhook handling, or API review.
What does ConvertLocal need to start?
Usually we review the FareHarbor workflow, Birdeye account, review destinations, locations, message templates, staff routing, and the desired post-tour follow-up process.
