Calendars & channels

Connect VRBO and other channels

Add iCal feeds from VRBO, Booking.com, and any platform that exports a calendar, Rezi merges them all.

Rezi merges every connected calendar into one unified availability view. A block from any platform prevents the AI from offering those dates to anyone, so you never double-book.

Multi-platform listing is great for occupancy and terrible for calendar sanity, every platform has its own bookings, and none of them naturally know about the others. Rezi’s merge model fixes the half of that problem it can see: connect a feed from each platform, and Rezi treats the union of all their blocks as the truth. If VRBO has the 12th booked and Airbnb has the 19th, a guest asking Rezi about either date hears “unavailable,” regardless of where they found you.

Add one feed per platform

  • VRBO: listing → Calendar → Import & Export → copy the export link
  • Booking.com: Calendar → Sync calendars → copy the iCal URL
  • Any other platform: look for “export calendar,” “iCal,” or “.ics” in its calendar settings

Paste each URL into Properties → [your building] → Calendars. Rezi keeps them all in sync on the same 15-minute cycle.

The “any other platform” line is genuinely broad: iCal is the lingua franca of booking calendars, so Hipcamp, Furnished Finder, direct-booking site builders, and most niche platforms all export a compatible feed. If a platform offers anything called “export calendar” or hands you a URL ending in .ics, it will work. Even a Google Calendar you use for tentative holds can join the merge.

How the merge behaves

Feeds are additive and per-platform: each feed attaches to the platform it represents, and a date is available only if no connected feed blocks it. Nothing in one feed ever cancels a block from another, Rezi always takes the most conservative reading, because the cost of wrongly saying “available” (a double-booking) vastly exceeds the cost of wrongly saying “booked” (a follow-up question). All platforms refresh on the same 15-minute cycle, and each feed’s last-sync status is visible on the Calendars tab.

Two-way blocking

For full protection against double-bookings, also export Rezi’s calendar (or each platform’s) back into the others so every channel knows about every booking.

The full mesh, spelled out

Importing feeds protects Rezi’s answers, but the platforms themselves still can’t see each other. The complete setup is a mesh: each platform imports Rezi’s export feed (which carries every block Rezi knows about, from every source), so an Airbnb booking blocks VRBO within a sync cycle and vice versa. Set it up once per platform and the whole portfolio stays consistent without another thought, the remaining latency between sync cycles is small, and minimum-stay rules plus sensible pricing make collision windows rarer still.

How many feeds can one property have?
As many as you list on, one per platform is the normal pattern, and a handful of feeds per property is well within normal use.
What happens if two platforms book the same date in the same 15-minute window?
That’s the inherent iCal race, rare but possible. The mesh setup shrinks the window to minutes; if a collision ever happens, you’ll see both reservations and can rebook one guest immediately. No calendar system using iCal can reduce this risk to zero.
Can I connect a platform that only imports, but doesn’t export?
You can still import Rezi’s feed into it for blocking, but Rezi won’t see its bookings, so enter those as manual blocks. Thankfully, almost every real platform exports.
Do I have to relink everything if I change a listing?
Significant listing changes on some platforms rotate the export URL. If a feed stops updating after you edited a listing, re-copy and re-paste the link, two minutes, covered in troubleshooting.
