What is an iCal synchronisation?

iCal synchronisation is a technology that automatically updates your property's availability across multiple booking platforms in real-time. It connects your calendar from one platform to other listing sites, ensuring that when a guest books on one platform, your availability automatically updates everywhere else.

How does iCal synchronisation work?

iCal synchronisation uses a standardized calendar format (iCalendar) that allows different booking platforms to communicate with each other. When you enable iCal sync, you generate a unique calendar link from your primary booking platform. This link is then imported into your other listing platforms, creating a two-way connection that keeps all your calendars in sync.

Why should you use iCal synchronisation?

Managing multiple property listings across different platforms can be complicated. iCal synchronisation solves three key problems:

• Prevents double bookings: When a guest books on one platform, all other platforms instantly know that date is no longer available
• Saves time: You no longer need to manually update calendars on each platform individually
• Keeps information accurate: Your guests always see correct availability information, improving their booking experience

When should you use iCal synchronisation?

You should use iCal synchronisation if you:

• List your property on multiple booking platforms simultaneously
• Want to minimize the risk of overbooking
• Prefer an automated solution over manual calendar management
• Need consistent availability information across all your listings
