# General design

**Reservation Notification Process**:

* **OTA\_HotelResNotifRQ**:
  * OTA will push the bookings to DirectConnect using the reservation notification request message `OTA_HotelResNotifRQ`.
  * Each reservation notification request will hold a single reservation record.

**Response from DirectConnect**:

* DirectConnect will send either a success response or an error response with reasons for failure.

**Handling Different Reservation States**:

* **Commit, Modified, and Canceled Reservations**:
  * All types of reservations (commit, modified, and canceled) are pushed by sending an `OTA_HotelResNotifRQ` message.
  * DirectConnect responds with an `OTA_HotelResNotifRS` message.
