== Import bookings into Beds24 ==
This is an obsolete function, please use the Flipkey iCal import instead to import bookings.


To import new bookings from HolidayLettings into your Beds24 account the booking Emails from HolidayLettings must be sent to Beds24. Copy the Email address we provide (Booking emails to:). Log into your HolidayLettings account and set the Email address to receive bookings to this Email address. Bookings sent to this email will only be imported into this property.  
Holiday lettings provide an Export Calendar function.


Another way to do this is to setup an auto forward rule in your email system to forward matching emails.
Go to this menu in Holiday lettings and obtain the URL for the export calendar.
 
If you cannot separate the booking emails into different email address's per property listing, you can create a custom email destination for all your listings.
 
If you have multiple listings at Holiday Lettings which are all rooms in one property at Beds24, you can send the emails for each listing to one email address.
Replace '''PROPID''' in the following email address with the propid number of your Beds24 property.
 
book.26b'''PROPID'''@xmlcal.com
 
or use a single email address for all properties in your account
 
book.26a'''OWNERID'''@xmlcal.com
 
Example: If you are connecting room id 6027, which is in property id 3103, which is owned by account id 266.
 
The preferred address to send booking Emails for the room is [email protected]
*To create an Email address for the property change the letter '''c''' to '''b''' and the number afterwards to your property id: [email protected]. The system will then try to find the correct room in this property id to place the booking in.
*To create an Email address for an account change the letter '''c''' to '''a''' and the number afterwards to your owner id: [email protected]. The system will then try to find the right room to place the booking in from all enabled rooms in the account.
 
If possible, use the room email as it is the most reliable, otherwise prefer the property email and use the account email only as a last resort.
 
Note: importing booking only works for English language Emails. If the Emails you receive from HolidayLettings are in another language please contact us.


Paste the URL into Beds24 at the "Export Calendar (Bookings)" settings, tick the bookings tick box and save.


Beds24 will monitor the calendar and import bookings from it.
