Duplicate blocks
A period appears blocked multiple times because the same event was distributed through several paths.
iCal troubleshooting
Solve iCal problems between booking platforms
Booking platforms such as Booking.com, FeWo-direkt, HomeToGo, Deskline or Check24 can import or export iCal calendars. Problems arise when this turns into direct calendar chains.
Typical problems
What can happen with direct platform-to-platform links.
Delayed releases
A cancellation is not visible everywhere because individual platforms fetch external calendars with a delay.
Unclear origin
The calendar only shows a block, but not whether it came from a booking, another platform or a manual block.
Core principle
Connect all platforms only to one central iCal hub.
Instead of connecting each platform directly with several other platforms, each platform is connected only to kalenderabgleich.de. This creates a clear direction for import and export.
Important: the export calendar for a platform contains events from the other sources, but not events that originally came from that platform.
- Fewer direct calendar links
- Better traceability of sources
- Suitable for all platforms with iCal import and iCal export
