iCal imports availability. It does not sync rates or replace a channel manager.

CALENDAR CONTEXT, CONNECTED TO THE HOME

Start the day
with the dates in view.

When a property has an iCal source, connect the feed to that home. Your operational team gets a clearer picture of the dates around which inspections, preparation and visits need to happen.

FROM CONNECTION TO CONTEXT

A useful calendar starts
with a reliable connection.

  1. 01

    Choose the home

    Identify the property the source belongs to. The feed-to-property mapping is the important first step.

  2. 02

    Connect the source

    Add the supported iCal source for that property. Keep calendar connection details with the home.

  3. 03

    Review the dates

    Use the imported calendar information as context. Check the source when something looks incomplete or out of date.

  4. 04

    Plan the work

    Bring the arrival and departure context into the operational decisions your team makes.

A PRACTICAL USE CASE

Two departures.
One team.
A clearer starting point.

You’re arranging property checks for the week. By seeing the relevant dates alongside each home, you can decide which visits are time-sensitive and check availability before assigning them.

A CLEAR PRODUCT SCOPE

Calendar intake.
Built for operational care.

Inbound iCal is part of the core keyholding workflow. The aim is to make dates useful for property care and day-to-day coordination.

↓

Incoming calendar information

The connection brings source dates into Keysted. Feed contents and refresh timing depend on the source.

↔

Separate from channel management

An iCal connection does not mean two-way availability, rate updates or a certified booking-channel integration.

+

Rental features when appropriate

Managed rental and channel features require activation for the organisation and then the individual property.

GOOD TO KNOW

Connections
without the ambiguity.

Does iCal update prices or booking channels?

No. Inbound iCal intake imports calendar information. It does not provide two-way rate or availability management on external booking channels.

How quickly does a date change appear?

Timing depends on the source feed and the intake process. Treat the originating calendar as the source of truth for time-sensitive changes and review the imported information.

Do I need managed rental features to organise property care?

Core keyholding focuses on workflow, keys and iCal intake. Managed rental and channel features are separately activated for an organisation and then for the relevant property.
