Calendars & availability

Connect a calendar feed and dates that are already booked grey out in the configurator. Guests never pick a date you can't deliver. We support iCal feeds from Google, Outlook, Apple, and any other system that emits a public .ics URL.

Adding an iCal source

1. Open Calendar sources → Add source.
2. Pick the type: ical (generic), google_ical, or outlook.
3. Paste the feed URL. For Google: open the calendar's settings, scroll to Secret address in iCal format, copy.
4. Optionally scope to a single location, or leave blank for account-wide.
5. Tick Blocks availability if you want this calendar to actually disable dates in the widget. (Untick to ingest events for visibility only.)

Supported feed types

Manual blocks

For one-off unavailable periods that aren't in any calendar — staff training, deep clean, owner's holiday — open Calendar sources and add a Manual block. Set a start and end date; the dates between disable in the widget the same way feed-driven blocks do.

How blocked dates show up

• The widget pulls blocks for the next 18 months on every load.
• Dates inside a blocked range are grey, unselectable, and labelled "unavailable".
• If you scope a calendar source to a location, blocks only apply to that venue's date picker.

Sync cadence

iCal feeds are pulled every 15 minutes, plus a manual Sync-now button on each source in the dashboard. The Last synced at timestamp on each source tells you when it last ran. If a sync fails (bad URL, dead host), you'll see an error message inline.

Outlook two-way sync

Currently read-only. Two-way (so a quote-confirmed event also creates the Outlook calendar entry) is on the roadmap but not yet shipped.
