Add multiple icals to Airbnb and change pricing using new Airbnb pricing tool?

[Jean174]

I have listed on Airbnb since 2013.  Three years ago, I selected Pricelabs as my pricing engine.  Now Airbnb has new pricing tools I would like to use.

Can I take the calendar URLs (icals) from Booking.com, VRBO, TripAdvisor, HelloLanding and manage on my Airbnb calendar as the master calendar?

What are the step instructions to do this?  What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

Hello @Jean174 

I'm not going to be much help to you I'm afraid as I have no experience on using multiple platforms as I am only listed on Airbnb.  However there is one thing to bear in mind - the Airbnb calendar is only updated every 3 hours so this could leave you wide open to receiving double bookings from your other STR platforms during  that time frame.
