No Calendar option to select in Account Settings

[Steve4803]

Problem: I'm trying to link my Airbnb home hosting calendar to my gmail calendar.

I see the way to do this is to copy/paste calendar URL from the Calendar section in Airbnb Account settings. I do not see this option in my account. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this or what this issue might be?

Thanks,

[Shelley159]

Hi @Steve4803 

Go to the calendar tab and then click the settings icon on the app (top right).  Then click the Availability tab and scroll all the way down to "Connect Calendars".

I hope this addresses the issue - let us know if it doesn't!

Thanks for your reply, Shelley. I don't see the availability tab as an option. Perhaps I left out some important information: I am not the "Listing Owner". My permissions state: "calendar and messaging access". Maybe this is the root cause?

Hi @Steve4803 , are you a co-host for the listing in question? 

I'll tag @Shelley159 for you , so the host receives your reply notification. 

[Steve4803]

Yes, @Bhumika and @Shelley159 , I am the co-host

@Shelley159 @Steve4803 , I found this article that demonstrates what kind of Co-host permissions a primary host can set up! May be it's related to the permissions set up by the primary host for the Co-host? 👉Choosing the right Co-host permissions 👈 

Hi @Helen3 and @Joan2709 ,  I know that you both are Co-hosts too! Could you help and guide us here 👀 Thanks both!

@Bhumika @Shelley159 @Steve4803 

I believe you need Full Access Permissions as a Co Host to edit the calendar. Since @Steve4803 is limited to viewing the calendar only, he does not have access to connect to an outside calendar.

[Steve4803]

That makes sense. Ill look into changing my permissions.

Thank you so much @Joan2709 ! 

Please keep us updated on how it goes @Steve4803 😊

Updating my permissions as co-host to have full control over availability was the solution. Thanks for your help everyone!

[Bhumika]

Amazing @Steve4803 ! I am glad to hear everything worked out just fine 🎉 

Just tagging @Joan2709 @Shelley159 so they can view your update and lovely thank you note too.

Thanks again Shelley and Joan! 🤗

Hi @Bhumika, who can we tag who will know the functions available with only calendar & messaging access?

@Steve4803 as you can see the calendar, can you check whether (or up to where) you can follow these screenshots (app, not desktop)?

Gear icon for settings:

Availability tab on the right:

Scroll down to Connect calendars:

[Steve4803]

@Shelley159 I dont not see any gear icon in my hosting calendarin the app.

Ok @Steve4803 I hope @Bhumika knows who knows your view well!

From the help articles it looks to me like you should be able to link your Gmail calendar, but we need some help here 😀
