  • Only dates blocked by Beds24 can be re-opened. Dates blocked from other synced calendars within Flipkey or manually in Flipkey cannot be re-opened

Setup

Beds24.com:

1) Enable the Flipkey "Synchronise Inventory" check box for the required rooms.

2 Note the supplied URL for each room, you will need to paste this into Flipkey as described below.


Flipkey.com:

1) Log in to Flipkey.

2) Goto the calendar menu "Sync with other calendars".

3) Select calendar type "Other"

4) Give the calendar a name, this is only for your reference.

5) Paste the calendar URL into Flipkey (The URL is supplied in the channel manager settings)


Calendar Sync

Flipkey do not re-open dates which are blocked in their calendar by other sources.

These dates must be set to "Available" manually in the Flipkey calendar.

If the Sync is working but out of date because of many blocked dates this can be fixed by setting all dates in Flipkey to Available and then doing a "Sync Now" in Flipkey's "Sync with other calendars"
