Connect your Airbnb calendar

Sync your Airbnb availability into Rezi with an iCal link so the AI never offers a booked date.

Updated June 9, 2026 3 min read

Connecting your Airbnb calendar keeps Rezi’s availability accurate, so the AI never quotes a date that’s already booked and your blocks stay in sync.

Here’s why this matters more than it might seem: the moment your building number appears on a listing, guests start asking Rezi about dates, “is the cabin free the weekend of the 20th?” Without your Airbnb calendar connected, Rezi has no idea, and the only honest answer is an escalation to you, which defeats the point. With it connected, Rezi checks real availability and answers instantly. It’s a five-minute setup that unlocks the entire inquiry-handling side of short-term rentals.

The connection uses iCal, the same calendar-feed standard every major booking platform supports. You copy a link from Airbnb, paste it into Rezi, and from then on Rezi re-reads it automatically. There’s no Airbnb login to share and no password involved, the link itself is the access.

  1. 1

    Export the Airbnb calendar link

    In Airbnb, open your listing → AvailabilityConnect calendarsExport calendar, and copy the .ics URL.

  2. 2

    Add it in Rezi

    Go to Properties → [your building] → Calendars and paste the URL.

  3. 3

    Save and wait for the first sync

    Rezi imports your blocks and then refreshes every 15 minutes automatically.

Verifying it worked

After the first sync, open the building’s calendar in Rezi and compare it against Airbnb: existing reservations and blocked dates should appear as unavailable. Then do the test that matters, text the building number and ask about a date you know is booked. Rezi should say it’s unavailable and, if you’ve set them, offer alternative dates or rates. If something looks off, the troubleshooting guide walks through the usual suspects, the most common being a copied link that requires login instead of the public export link.

How often it syncs

Rezi re-checks each iCal feed about every 15 minutes. Airbnb itself updates exported calendars on its own schedule, so a brand-new booking can take a little time to appear, this is a limitation of iCal, not Rezi.

One listing, one feed

Connect a feed for the Airbnb listing for this property. If you also list the same place on VRBO or Booking.com, add a feed for each of those platforms too, connecting VRBO and others covers it, and Rezi merges every platform into one availability picture so a date booked anywhere shows as booked everywhere.

Close the loop in the other direction

Importing Airbnb’s calendar tells Rezi about Airbnb’s bookings, but Airbnb still doesn’t know about blocks created elsewhere, a direct booking, an owner stay, a VRBO reservation. To fully prevent double-bookings, also export Rezi’s calendar back into Airbnb so every platform sees every block. Two links instead of one, and the double-booking problem is closed for good.

Does Rezi get guest names and prices from the feed?
No, iCal carries dates only. Reservation details like guest names and payouts stay in Airbnb. See how calendar sync works for what the format does and doesn’t include.
A booking I just got isn’t showing yet, is something broken?
Probably not. Airbnb refreshes its exported calendar on its own schedule, and Rezi re-reads it every 15 minutes, so a brand-new booking can take a little while to appear. If it’s still missing after a couple of cycles, see troubleshooting.
Do I need to re-copy the link periodically?
No, the link keeps working until Airbnb rotates it (rare, usually after listing changes). If a feed goes stale, re-copying the link is the fix.
Is sharing the iCal link safe?
The link exposes availability dates only, no guest data, no account access. Treat it like semi-private information, paste it into Rezi and don’t publish it anywhere public.
