Facility and campsite lookup

When a team needs recreation options for a region, a Beam agent queries Recreation.gov for facilities, campgrounds, and activities that match approved filters like location, dates, and amenity type. It reads the returned records, compares them against the request, and builds a shortlist with current availability status. The agent then notifies the requester or updates an internal planning record. Ambiguous requests, conflicting date ranges, or sites that carry restricted access rules go to a human, who confirms which option fits before any reservation step proceeds and money or firm dates come into play.

Availability window alerts

Popular sites fill quickly, so a Beam agent checks Recreation.gov availability on a set schedule for the dates and locations a customer has approved. It reads current openings, applies the rule for which trips qualify, and notifies the right person the moment a slot appears. Each change is recorded so the team can see the pattern over time. When a site shows only partial availability, an unusual closure notice, or a permit requirement the rule does not cover, the agent hands the case to a human instead of guessing at eligibility or committing anyone.

Recreation data enrichment

Planning records often lack detail, so a Beam agent draws facility descriptions, fees, and activity metadata from the Recreation Information Database to fill the gaps. Triggered by a new trip entry, it reads the existing fields, aligns them to the correct site, and updates the record with verified attributes where the connector and account permissions allow it. Entries with no clear match, duplicate site names, or contradictory fee data are escalated to a person, who picks the right source before the enriched record reaches the team and gets used for planning.
