Use the automation tool Zapier with Bookster.
Bookster has an API that can talk to Zapier and carry out some pretty cool tasks with other web applications.
In Zapier's own words:
"Connect Your Apps and Automate Workflows"
"Easy automation for busy people. Zapier moves info between your web apps automatically, so you can focus on your most important work."
Example: SMS booking alert
Create a "Zap" to send an SMS text message when a booking comes in.
