Linking Rentals Together
Updated
You may occasionally need to link Rentals together in Sympl. Let’s say you have a House with Room 1 and Room 2. You would like for House bookings to block calendars for Room 1 and Room 2.
You will export a calendar for the House and import it into Room 1 and into Room 2. Configuring this is easy in Sympl, follow the steps below to begin linking.
1. Export House Calendar
- Navigate to "iCal Channels" > Add Channel
- Select the option to "Export calendar"
- Choose "Unknown" channel, then choose the rental for the calendar you are exporting
- Click "Export" and copy the exported calendar URL provided
- Click "Done"
2. Import House Calendar to Room 1 and Room 2
Stay on the same screen, or repeat the first step from part 1. (iCal Channels > Add Channel)
- Select the option to "import calendar"
- Give the imported calendar a name
- Paste the House calendar URL you copied from part 1 of this guide.
Important: at the end of the calendar URL, append &anonymous=1 When you repeat the Import process for Room 2, you will append &anonymous=2
- Select Rental to import this calendar into
- Click "Import"
Now, repeat the Import process for Room 2. As a reminder, you will want to append &anonymous=2 to the calendar URL being imported into Room 2.
That's it! Any events on the Whole House calendar will now block the calendars for Room 1 and Room 2.
