Can I connect Google Calendar to my accommodation?
Not with the Connect Google Calendar button β it is hidden for accommodation. Stays get into Google Calendar through an iCal link: the Outlook / iCal feed in Settings β Calendars (Accommodation Starter plan and up) or the unit's Full calendar link. For Google events to block nights, add Google's secret iCal address to the unit.
How to do it
Open Settings β Calendars and under Outlook / iCal feed click Copy. (If there is no link yet, click Generate link first.)
In Google Calendar on a computer, next to Other calendars click + β From URL, paste the link and click Add calendar.
Check it: upcoming stays of all units appear as βunit β guest nameβ events from arrival to departure.
To see one unit together with Airbnb, Booking.com and blocked nights, add the Full calendar link from Accommodation β the unit β Calendars the same way.
Tips and common mistakes
- The Connect Google Calendar button is only for businesses with services: it writes bookings with a staff member to Google, and Google events block free times. Stays have no staff member and are booked by the night, so the card is hidden for accommodation.
- Google Calendar refreshes a calendar added from a URL on its own schedule β a new stay can take several hours to show up.
- The links are personal and contain guest names β don't make that calendar public in Google.
- A Google Calendar connected earlier (e.g. before switching to accommodation) is not used for stays; Settings β Calendars shows it and lets you disconnect it.
Why it matters
You see arrivals and departures in Google Calendar on your phone, without logging in to the admin.
Frequently asked questions
Do events in my Google Calendar block nights in Resovu?
Not by themselves. If they should, copy the calendar's secret address in iCal format from its settings in Google, paste it on the unit in Accommodation β the unit β Calendars into Calendar link (iCal) and click Connect. Resovu then reads it every 15 minutes like a portal calendar, and each event blocks the nights it covers; events shown as free in Google are skipped.
Why don't I see dates from Airbnb and Booking.com?
The link from Settings β Calendars contains only stays booked in Resovu. Portal dates and blocked nights are in the Full calendar link of each unit (Accommodation β the unit β Calendars).
Is this on the Free plan?
The unit's Full calendar link and connecting a calendar to a unit are. The Outlook / iCal feed with all units in Settings β Calendars is on the Accommodation Starter plan and up.
