''Importing Bookings or Blocking dates using an external iCal or google calendar''
== Capabilities ==
Beds24.com can import bookings from up to 3 iCal calendars per room. Many holiday rental sites support Ical [[Ical_Sync|more Information]]
*You can select if the end date of an event is the last night of the booking or the checkout day.
The calendar will normally be checked multiple times per hour. For details please [[Channel_Manager_Capabilities|click here]]
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.
Only the information specified in the Capabilities section above can be imported from the iCal.
The URL of the iCal calendar to import from.
== Notes ==
'''Duplicates'''
If you import bookings from a calendar that is also using ical export, (2 way connection) you will probably create duplicate bookings as they are passed back and forth between the systems.
See the instructions for ical export >-> "Data Options" to prevent re-exporting bookings which have been imported by the same iCal channel.
