Smarter syncing with built-in intelligence

AI-powered event parsing

Smarter syncing with built-in intelligence

Hospitable reads each inbound iCal feed and converts it into a proper reservation entry, pulling key details like:

Guest name

Reservation code

Stay dates

If guest emails are included, your automations kick in just like any other booking. If not, you can manually add them to unlock automated messaging.

Know the limits

Designed as a fallback, not a primary sync

Know the limits

iCal Import is one-way and slower than API integrations. It doesn’t sync availability or pricing back to the source platform, and syncs aren't instant. For full syncing power, we recommend using our native connections with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Agoda. But when an API isn’t available, or you're working around cohosting constraints, iCal is a powerful, simple alternative.

Common questions

Which platforms does iCal import work with?

Any that offer an iCal feed. Popular ones include TripAdvisor, Expedia, and Furnished Finder.

Will this prevent double bookings?

Not in real-time. iCal syncs about once an hour, so for faster protection, use direct integrations where possible.

Can I trigger automations with imported bookings?

Yes, if the iCal feed includes the guest’s email. If it doesn’t, you can add it manually in the reservation to enable automations.

Can I edit imported bookings?

You can update guest details and financials, but not the stay dates or assigned property.
