How to sync with Google Calendar? How to set up the iCal synchronization with Google Calendar?

Answer

Step by Step to sync with Google Calendar both ways:
 
1 - In HBook > Ical sync, click on "Get URL" to get the URL of the HBook calendar of the accommodation for which you are setting up the sync. Copy this URL.
2 - In Google Calendar : click on the "+" sign besides "Other calendars"
3 - Select : "From URL"
4 - Paste the url of HBook calendar
=> This is the sync done one way : from HBook to Google. It means that any reservation received on HBook will be imported to your Google Calendar. You might wish to stop here if you only wish to view the reservations on your Google Calendar.

We recommend using HBook (HBook > Reservations > Block accommodation ) to block dates that would not be available, or to add reservation. However, if for any reason, you use a Google Calendar to block some dates, you would do the following steps in order to have HBook importing these unavailable dates.

5. Still in Google Calendar, go now to the Settings of the calendar you wish to sync with HBook. Go to Calendar Settings > Integrate calendar and scroll to "Public address in iCal format". Copy this URL
6. In HBook > Ical sync, click on "New calendar"
7. Give the calendar a name so you can identify it easily and paste the URL from Google Calendar
=> Now, the sync is as well set in the opposite way from Google to HBook. It means that when you add an event in your Google Agenda (if you use Google Agenda to add some reservations received by phone for example), it will be imported into HBook and the dates will be blocked.
