Importing a Google Calendar into RentalBeam

If you block dates on a Google Calendar and want RentalBeam to treat them as unavailable, connect it as an iCal source the same way as any other platform:

  1. 1Open Google Calendar and, under Settings, select the calendar you want to sync from.
  2. 2Scroll to Integrate calendar and copy the Secret address in iCal format.
  3. 3In RentalBeam, open your rental, go to Sync, click Add iCal source, and paste that address.
Use the secret address in iCal format, not the calendar’s public sharing or embed link - those don’t serve the raw calendar data RentalBeam needs to sync.

Adding a RentalBeam export to Google Calendar

Going the other direction - subscribing your own Google Calendar to your combined RentalBeam availability - needs an export URL first; see Exporting your calendar (Plus and Pro). Once you have one, RentalBeam offers a one-click Open in Google Calendar quick-add action next to each export URL on the Sync tab, so you never have to copy and paste the address by hand - it takes you straight to Google Calendar’s subscribe screen with the feed already filled in.

Once subscribed, Google Calendar refreshes the feed on its own schedule, independent of RentalBeam - this is normal behavior for any calendar you subscribe to, not something RentalBeam controls.
