External Services

This plugin connects to external services only when the optional Pro add-on is installed and the user explicitly triggers the corresponding feature:

OpenAI API

The KN Booking Suite Pro add-on optionally connects to the OpenAI API to power the AI-assisted booking analysis feature. This feature is only triggered when an admin explicitly clicks “Analyze” on a booking in the dashboard.

  • What data is sent: A summary of the booking (date, time, and description/notes) is sent to the OpenAI API.
  • When: Only when an admin manually triggers the AI analysis action.
  • Why: To generate a contextual response or summary about the booking.

This service is provided by OpenAI, L.L.C.:
* OpenAI Terms of Use
* OpenAI Privacy Policy
