How to use iCal in Homhero

What is iCal? 

iCal (short for iCalendar) is a digital calendar format that helps in transferring basic reservation availability information, without the need for a full API integration. iCal links will create a one way block from Homhero to the channel or software of your choosing, but have to be manually managed. 

Whilst iCal links are a great tool for managing availability across multiple platforms, and may come in handy during certain situations. It is recommended to use a full channel connections where possible.
