What is iCal synchronization for?


By synchronizing an iCal calendar with one of your Homes, you can have access to all your future Airbnb bookings within your Dashboard. This will allow you to generate keys with a single click, without having to type in all the booking dates information and guest details. You must log in to Airbnb and identify the calendar you will export.


Your iCal link should look something like this: https://www.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/1234567.ics?s=sc8fne84nd87sd6fbfr87esgywdb67eeg
