To add an iCal calendar, log in to your Holidu Host Account, open "Configuration," and go to the "iCal & Synchronization" section. Click "Configure," choose your channel, paste the iCal URL from your external calendar provider, name the calendar, and save. To delete one, open the existing calendar under the same section, click "Edit," then "Delete," and confirm.

How do I add an iCal calendar to my Holidu account?

Adding an iCal calendar keeps your availability aligned across every booking channel. This helps you avoid double bookings and capture reservations from other platforms. Follow the steps below to set it up.

1. Log in to your Holidu Host Account.
2. Go to "Configuration" on the top-left side of the page.
3. Scroll down to the "iCal & Synchronization" section.
4. Add a new calendar:
   1. Click "Configure."
   2. Select your desired channel. If your channel does not appear in the list, choose "Other."
5. Enter the calendar details:
   1. Paste the iCal URL from your external calendar provider.
   2. Give the calendar a name so you can identify it easily later.
6. Click "Save" to finish adding your iCal calendar.

Important: You also need to copy your Holidu Host iCal link and paste it into Section 2 on your external provider's page. This two-way connection keeps both calendars in sync.

Once both steps are complete, your calendar should be in sync, which helps you avoid double bookings and missed opportunities.

How can I delete an iCal calendar from my Holidu account?

You may need to remove an iCal calendar after a change to your listing or when you run into sync errors. Removing it takes only a few clicks.

1. Log in to your Holidu Host Account.
2. Go to "Configuration" on the top-left side of the page.
3. Scroll down to the "iCal & Synchronization" section.
4. Click "Edit" on the iCal calendar you want to remove.
5. Click "Delete" and confirm your choice.

After you confirm, the calendar is removed from your account. This helps keep your booking management clean and accurate.

Why are some dates showing in red on my calendar?

Red dates on your calendar mean there are overlapping bookings. This usually happens when two bookings cover the same dates, often because of an iCal synchronisation issue. In some cases, external calendars mirror each other and create duplicate entries without you noticing.

To fix this, check each synced calendar for conflicting or duplicate entries. If the dates stay red, review your integration settings to prevent future overlaps.

What should I do if I still need help?

If you cannot resolve a sync issue or the steps above do not solve your problem, please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team through the contact form in your Holidu Host Account. Include the name of the calendar and a short description of the issue so we can help you faster.

What are some tips for keeping my calendars accurate?

• Sync your calendars regularly so your availability stays current on every channel.
• Check for red dates after making changes to your bookings or listings.
• Remove iCal calendars you no longer use to avoid outdated availability.

We hope this guide helps you manage your calendars with confidence. Thank you for being a valued host.
