Hi guys, I have a problem when I try to import the calendar link from beds24 to flipkey, it says always " An error has occurred
Please enter a valid URL for this calendar type" why? Any news about this?
Thanks a lot

Please check if you have selected calendar type "Other".

Have you activated the channel for this room in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGEMENT -> FLIPKEY? It will only work if "Inventory" is ticked.

According to our logs Flipkey have not yet requested your calendar so they may have the wrong URL.
Check the URL you have entered into Flipkey is exactly the one shown in your Beds24 channel manager settings.
To test it is working you can paste the URL into the iCal validator at
http://icalvalid.cloudapp.net/
If you are still stuck please open a beds24 support ticket containing the URL you have entered into flipkey and the error message they return.

the other question is " Reservation taken in flipkey will be shown in bed24 as well?" because at the moment I don't see anything. Thanks a lot

Bookings cannot be imported using the Flipkey channel but the Flipkey iCal feed can be imported using the iCal import channel.

We have added booking import to the Flipkey channel.
It reads the Flipkey iCal feed and imports the Flipkey blocked dates as bookings.
