ICal coupling

You can share the availability of Rentals with another (external) calendar. We call this calendar synchronisation. The link that handles this is called iCal. You paste a unique link from the object in the external calendar and paste the link from the external calendar to the object in Booking Experts. Every 15 minutes, the system updates the synchronisation.

Export availability

Find the object for which you want to set up iCal. You can search for the object via the general search field or via establishment and then objects.

Click on the desired object and go to the iCal tab. In this screen, you will see the export link. You can copy this and share it with whoever needs the link.

Import availability

Find the object for which you want to set up iCal. You can search for the object via the general search field or via furnishing and then objects.

Click on the desired object and go to the iCal tab. Click on +New iCal channel. Name the iCal channel and paste the URL into the window. Select the Channel to which you want to link the reservations. Then click on Add iCal channel.

Add domain

When creating an iCal, at least one domain will need to be selected.

Go to the object where you have added the iCal and click on the iCal tab. Click the name of the iCal and tick the domain and click update iCal channel.

Import

To retrieve the iCal blocked periods, you can start an import by clicking Import now. When the import is running you can see how many periods have been imported and whether there are any conflicts in the occupation. To process the conflicts, click on the number of the conflicts.

If any reservations cause a conflict, you will receive a message at reception. You can adjust these reservations directly by clicking Solve in the reception message.

Turn an iCal block into a Reservation

You can turn an iCal block into a Reservation. This allows you to process the reservation in your own Administration. To do this, click on the blocked iCal period in the Planboard or in the calendar of the object. Then click on Convert to Reservation. You enter the guest's name and address and confirm the reservation.

iCal notifications

In Reception messages, you get notifications when conflicts occur. For example, because there is already a Reservation on the property in question for the same period. In this article, we look at this in a little more detail.
