Questions
What's the difference between a Live Connection and a One-time Import?+
A Live Connection — TourPlan, Tourwriter, Wetu, ResRequest, Semper, with Nightsbridge and Lemax on the way — keeps your booking data syncing into RepBud. A One-time Import — HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Notion, Google Contacts, Outlook/Microsoft 365, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Airtable, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp — brings your contacts, companies and deals across once, and its button reads Import into RepBud rather than Save & Sync.
Is my API key safe?+
It's encrypted with AES-256-GCM inside an edge function before it reaches the database, and the encryption key is held outside the database as a function secret. It is decrypted in memory at the moment of a sync and is not written back in the clear. The non-secret settings alongside it — endpoint URLs, usernames, agent or client IDs — are stored as they are.
What comes across from Wetu?+
Your properties and content map to Properties, suppliers map to Companies, and itineraries map to Bookings. Each provider's panel shows its own "What comes across" map before you connect.
My system isn't listed — what now?+
You can still import a spreadsheet export from almost any system on the Import Data page. RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement on what to bring across.
