An iCal provides a standard way to allow one application, such as Airbnb, to view and display calendar data from another application such as NightsBridge.
This tutorial will guide you through how to get the iCal link for a specific room type on NightsBridge.
Go to the 'Content' section on Home
Click 'Booking Engine'
Click 'iCal'
Within the Booking Engine page, click the 'iCal' tab.
The iCal page will display providing an iCal link for each room type available on NightsBridge.
Click on the 'copy-to-clipboard' icon to the right of each link to copy the link.
Once copied, you can apply the link to the relevant application, such as Airbnb.
