5 Common Errors

The calendar address isn’t in ICAL format
*check that  "Inventory"  is ticked. 
*double check the link is correct. 

5.1 Notes

If you just want to import the blocked dates once to get setup you can put the Airbnb calendar url into the Ical import channel, let them import and then disable the Ical Import channel. This should import all the blocked dates as bookings.

6 Disconnect

• Unticking "Inventory" and "Bookings" will stop the synchronisation for a room.
• Log into your Airbnb extranet and delete the Beds24 URL.
