iCal: Adjusting Non-exclusive Inventory Exported/Imported Calendar’s Start and End Dates

You can use iCal to sync a non-exclusive inventory listing's Guesty calendar with external calendars,  import a calendar, or export a calendar to present the correct availability to guests and help avoid double bookings.

Guesty’s calendar calculates blocks by night, and with the non-exclusive inventory listing iCal feature, you can adjust your start/end dates to align your calendars properly.In order to adjust imported blocks retroactively, you will need to delete the existing iCal link, and then add it again with your specific adjustments.
