Booking Widget on My Website Not Syncing with Airbnb Calendar

[Joe3792]

Hi Airbnb Community,

I’ve added a booking widget to my website that’s supposed to sync with my Airbnb calendar using the iCal link. While the initial import of availability data worked, the widget isn’t updating when new bookings are made on Airbnb. This has led to double-bookings, which I’m trying to avoid.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Verified that the iCal link is correct and functional.
• Manually refreshed the iCal sync on my website, but it still doesn’t reflect recent changes.
• Checked the Airbnb settings to ensure the iCal export is enabled and up to date.

Is there a known issue with iCal syncing, or are there additional steps I need to take to keep the booking widget updated in real-time? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It sounds like the issue is with the widget for your website . You'd probably be better asking on a forum for those using your type of website software ? @Joe3792

Thanks for your response! After further investigation, I found that the issue was related to the update frequency of the iCal sync. I adjusted the settings in my website software to refresh the calendar more frequently, and now the widget is updating correctly with new bookings. The double-booking problem has been resolved. I appreciate your help, and everything is working smoothly now! **
