Importing Bookings or Blocking dates using an external iCal or google calendar
Capabilities
Beds24.com can import bookings from your iCal calendar.
Each full day or multi day event will be imported as a booking.
Changes to event dates will be imported.
If an event that was previously imported is missing from a future import, the booking status will be changed to Cancelled.
The event summary is imported as the guest name.
The event description is imported as the guest comment.
The full event information from the iCal is stored in the api message field of the booking.
Limitations
The iCal calendar must be available on the internet for Beds24 to poll and must be set for public access. Some calendars like google allow public access (sharing) to be set on an event basis and only public events can be imported.
Bookings must be defined as full day events on the days you want to block.
Only the information specified in the Capabilities section above can be imported from the iCal.
What you will need
The URL of the iCal calendar to import from.
Setup
Enable iCal import in the channel manager and click save. Then check the Booking checkbox for each room and enter the calendar URL you want to import and click save again.
