Paste an iCal URL from Airbnb, Google Calendar, or any platform. Vanio imports events and auto-creates turnovers that stay in sync.

Connect via iCal Calendar

If your bookings live in a calendar that publishes an iCal feed — Airbnb, VRBO, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or any other platform — you can plug them into Vanio in about a minute. No API keys, no account linking, just a URL.

What you need

The iCal URL from your booking platform (usually found under Calendar → Export or Sync)
One URL per property

Adding an iCal feed

Go to Properties and open the property you want to connect
Click Calendars → Add iCal
Paste the iCal URL
Give it a label (e.g. "Airbnb", "VRBO")
Save

Vanio fetches the feed immediately and imports every future reservation it finds. From then on, it refreshes every 15-30 minutes so new bookings, cancellations, and date changes flow in automatically.

What gets imported

Check-in and check-out dates
Reservation ID from the source platform
Guest name (if the feed includes it — Airbnb hides it)
Notes or special requests (if included)

iCal feeds are usually anonymous — you won't see guest contact info or pricing. That's a limit of the format, not Vanio.

Multiple calendars on one property

Most hosts list a single property on multiple platforms. Add one iCal per platform and Vanio merges them into a single master calendar. Conflicts (double-bookings) are flagged immediately so you can fix them before they become a problem.

Turnover scheduling from iCal

Even though iCal gives limited info, it's enough for Vanio to schedule turnover tasks. As soon as a new booking appears, a cleaning task is created for the checkout date and offered to your team.

Common questions

How fast does a new booking show up in Vanio? Usually within 15 minutes. Some platforms push faster than others.

Can guests see their name in Vanio if I use iCal? Only if the source feed includes it. Most platforms redact guest names in iCal for privacy.

Is iCal as reliable as a direct integration? For scheduling tasks, yes. For full guest messaging, pricing, and payments, you'll want a direct integration (Airbnb API, Booking.com partner feed, etc.).

Can I remove an iCal later? Yes — open the calendar in Vanio and click Remove. Historical reservations are kept; future ones stop syncing.
