Getting Started

Register your property

Before using OmniCal, you'll need to register at least one property. Select "Properties" menu, select 'Listing', click "Create New", enter a name for it, and save.

After registering your property, you're ready to start syncing calendars from other platforms.

Add users

You can add multiple users to your property. Select "Users" menu, Click "Create New" and enter their details, you can choose the appropriate role for each user.

Permissions can be assigned to each user to control their access to different features.

Calendar Sync

Synchronise other calendars to OmniCal

To synchronise your calendars from other platforms, follow these steps:

Open the Sync Calendar menu.
Select the property you want to sync.
Copy the iCal URL from the external booking site (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.).
Paste the URL into the URL box.
Select or enter the booking site name, then save.

Remember, you still need to sync your Booking.com and Airbnb calendars

OmniCal is not a channel manager, so you should still sync your calendars between booking platforms to avoid double bookings.
