The iCal synchronization is a way to keep your calendars updated across different channels, thus preventing over bookings. You can refer to this article for further details.
All iCal blocks come from another calendar that has been synchronized with Holidu. As they don’t belong to Holidu, we cannot remove them nor modify them. If you would like to modify or delete an iCal block, access your account on said platform, and delete or edit the block from there. Usually, the calendar synchronization should be very fast. On Bookiply’s side, we ensure it takes max. 1 hour to sync (which is the industry standard). You can reach out to the other platforms in order to check with them how often they send calendar updates to the other providers, and how often they pull the data the other providers send them. This is completely independent of Bookiply’s synchronization speed.
An iCal block can be seen in gray on your Holidu calendar, and a Holidu booking will be shown in green. To get further details on a booking, you can click on it to find out where the booking came from.
Grey = iCal block
Green = confirmed Holidu booking
Navy blue = manual block
Red = overbooking *
*There may be double configured iCals if all dates appear as overbooked. If you click on the calendar, you will be able to see more details for each booking on the right-hand side and find out where each block is coming from.
