iCal Integration With Third Party Websites
Our iCal Integration allows you to export your properties availability to other websites and even your mobile phone!
Time is Money
At StayTech we understand just how hard it is for property owners to manage keeping all their various channel calendars up to date. StayTech natively produces an iCal link for each property calendar as standard. iCal Integration helps to reduce the amount of time needed to keep your external listing availability up to date.
How to use iCal Integration with External Sites
At StayTech we currently support calendar synchronisation with anyone who accepts iCal files (AirBnB, Flipkey, Tripadvisor and the HomeAway group), along with dedicated syncing with Sleeps12.com, Super Control, Premier Cottages and of course any other StayTech powered site via the property sharing feature.
- Go to the 'Properties' part of the admin, click the Property you wish to fetch the iCal feed for.
- Navigate to the 'Prices & Availability' section
- Scroll right to the bottom, there you'll find the iCal Feed URL for you to Copy + Paste into the site you're integrating with
If you have specific questions about integration with a particular external site just let us know and we'll be happy to help.
If you use your StayTech website as the master calendar, it will then push out all unavailable dates to any listings it is connected to via Ical. It cannot unfortunately pull in bookings from sites automatically, and you will have to manually enter bookings from elsewhere.
How to use iCal Integration with Calendar on a Mac
You can quickly get an overview of your upcoming bookings and their status by adding your iCal Feed as a 'Calendar Subscription'.
