iCal Setup Guide

Connect your OTA calendars to Tamu in 10 minutes. Once connected, Tamu automatically syncs availability every 15 minutes — no more double bookings.

What is iCal Sync?

iCal is a calendar format used by all major booking platforms. When you connect your OTA calendars to Tamu, bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, and others automatically appear in your Tamu calendar. This means you only need to check one place to see all your reservations.

Find Your iCal URL in the OTA

Each platform has a slightly different way to export your calendar. Follow the instructions for the platforms you use.

Airbnb

Log in to airbnb.com
Go to Calendar from the hosting dashboard
Click Availability Settings (gear icon)
Scroll down to the "Sync calendars" section
Click "Export Calendar"
Copy the URL — it starts with https://www.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/

Booking.com

Log in to admin.booking.com
Go to Rates & Availability in the top menu
Click Calendar
Click the "Sync Calendars" tab
Copy the iCal export URL shown on the page

Agoda

Log in to ycs.agoda.com (YCS — Your Channel Solutions)
Go to Calendar from the sidebar
Click "Calendar Sync"
Click "Export" to generate the iCal URL
Copy the URL

Tiket.com

Log in to extranet.tiket.com
Go to Room in the sidebar, then click Calendar
Look for "iCal Export" or "Calendar Sync"
Copy the URL

Add the URL to Tamu

Log in to tamuhq.com/login
Go to Calendar in the left sidebar
Scroll down to the Calendar Sync section
Click Add Feed (or the pencil icon on an existing feed to edit it)
Paste the iCal URL you copied from the OTA
Select the room this feed belongs to (e.g., Spyder Room or Boomerang Room)
Click Save
Wait 15 minutes — the feed should show Synced with a green checkmark

Verify It's Working

After 15 minutes, check your Tamu calendar
OTA bookings should appear as colored blocks on the calendar
If a feed shows a red X, the URL may be incorrect — double-check and re-paste it

Troubleshooting

Feed shows a 404 error

The URL has changed on the OTA side. Go back to Step 1 and get a fresh URL from that platform.

Feed says "Synced" but calendar is empty

The calendar may genuinely have no bookings right now. Make a test booking on the OTA to verify sync is working.

Sync seems delayed

Tamu checks feeds every 15 minutes. Wait for the next sync cycle and refresh your calendar page.

I have multiple rooms

Each room needs its own set of feeds. Repeat Steps 1–2 for each room, making sure to select the correct room when adding each feed.
