iCal Sync & Calendar Management

iCal Sync and Calendar Management

Keeping an accurate calendar is paramount to running a successful vacation rental business. Here are a couple of tips for effectively managing your calendar with VacayMyWay.

For our non-integrated Hosts:

Utilizing an iCal link will keep your VacayMyWay calendar synced with other listing platform calendars. Once your listing is published, navigate to the Calendar, and locate the calendar icon with the arrows pointing up and down in the upper right-hand corner.

Next, you can import or export the iCal link.

To import the Vacay calendar from another website:

Click the calendar icon and 'import calendar'
Enter URL from the calendar site or from a booking platform like Airbnb, Expedia.com.

Example: Retrieving Airbnb iCal

Sync your calendars on desktop

Click Calendar and select the listing calendar you want to change
Click Availability
Under Connect calendars, click Connect to another website
To export your calendar, copy the Airbnb calendar link, then paste it into your VacayMyWay calendar shown below.

Making manual blocks on your calendar:

Select the start date (check-in) and end date (check-out) of the block you would like to make.

Select your date range
Click 'Block Dates'
Click 'Save'

You can also add any notes associated with that particular block in the “Note” section. For example, “Roof repair” and then click “Block Dates.”

Your blocked dates with your note will now appear on your calendar!
