Keeping your calendar updated is the secret to maximizing your rental potential, and we're here to make it effortless. Whether you're adding a new iCal calendar or removing an existing one, our simple step-by-step guide will walk you through the process with ease. Let's get started!

How Do I Add an iCal Calendar?

Adding an iCal calendar to your account is straightforward. This feature helps you sync your bookings efficiently, ensuring you're always on top of your availability and can avoid double bookings. Follow the steps below to add your iCal calendar:

  1. Log into your Holidu Host Account
  2. Go to "Configuration" on the top-left side
  3. Scroll down to the "iCal & Synchronization" section
  4. Add a New Calendar:
    • Click on "Configure"
    • Select your desired channel ("Other" if yours doesn't appear in the list)
  5. Enter Calendar Details:
    • Paste the iCal URL from your external calendar provider
    • Name your calendar for easy reference
  6. Save Your Changes:
    • Click "Save" to finalize the addition of your iCal calendar

Important Note: Don't forget to copy and paste your Holidu Host iCal link in Section 2 on your external provider's page. This two-way synchronization ensures all your bookings are properly reflected across all platforms.

By following these steps, your calendar should now be synchronized, helping you avoid any double bookings or missed opportunities.

How Can I Delete an iCal Calendar?

If you need to remove an iCal calendar, perhaps due to a change in listing or syncing errors, it's just as straightforward. Here's how to delete an iCal calendar from your account:

  1. Log into your Holidu Host Account

  3. Scroll down to "iCal & Synchronization" section
  4. Click on "Edit" next to the iCal calendar you want to remove
  5. Click on "Delete" and confirm your action

Your calendar will be removed, allowing you to keep your booking management streamlined and precise. Once deleted, the calendar will no longer sync with your Holidu account.
