Airbnb calendar not syncing: check the feed before reconnecting everything

Copy a fresh iCal export link from the intended Airbnb listing and compare it with the source saved in your workspace. Do not use the public listing page or the browser address of Airbnb's calendar screen.

Open the feed in BnBCal and compare a known reservation with the same month. If the viewer receives the expected occupied dates, the export feed is working and the delay is likely happening in the platform that imports it.

• Confirm that the link belongs to the correct listing.
• Check that the complete HTTPS iCal export URL was copied.
• Make sure the calendar source is enabled in the property.
• Refresh the month containing a known reservation.

iCal connections are periodically refreshed and are not equivalent to a real-time channel-manager API. A reservation may already appear in Airbnb's exported feed while another booking platform has not imported the latest version yet.

When timing matters, verify the requested dates directly on every booking channel before accepting a manual or direct reservation.

A combined calendar should distinguish a complete refresh from a partial result. If one source fails, do not treat its dates as available. Recopy that feed, confirm that it still uses HTTPS, and refresh again.

If a fresh link consistently fails while the same feed works elsewhere, record the affected listing, month, and error state before changing the other calendar connections.

Calendar synchronization between two platforms normally uses separate export and import connections in each direction. A problem with Airbnb importing another calendar is different from another platform importing Airbnb's calendar.

Identify which destination is missing dates, then replace or reconnect only the feed imported by that destination. This preserves working connections and makes the result easier to verify.
