An ICal link can be used to link your RoomRaccoon agenda to an external booking channel when there is no direct connection available. It can be described as a calendar synchronisation in which the availability of your hotel is communicated between the two systems. To create an ICal link, you must first access the shareable calendar link that you can find on your Google calendar settings
When you want to set up a synchronisation with your own system or agenda, you can use iCal. The RoomRaccoon iCal feed simply displays data in a calendar program in Windows, Apple or Google.
Conversely, RoomRaccoon can also read an external feed, for example you can use a Google Calendar feed, or you can develop your own feed that works according to the syntax of Google Calendar.
Follow these recommendations regarding the use of specific ICal fields:
Create A Link:
LOCATION: room name
DTSTART: Check-in date
DTEND: 1 day before Check-out date
UID: OTA reservation number
DESCRIPTION: Name of booker
SUMMARY: E-mail address & phone number of booker in underlying EMAIL: and PHONE: tags
Example of an iCal booking fragment:
FINANCIAL: FEATURE
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200502
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200505
UID:1592
DESCRIPTION:Nadja Buckenberger
LOCATION:Sea view room 3
SUMMARY:PHONE:+31611111111\nEMAIL:[[email protected]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a6c8c4d3c5cd979495e6c2c9cbc7cfc888c5c9cb)
