How to Sync Google Ical Calendar?

Note: 

The calendar sync is a manual one-way sync, which means that it only synchronizes data from other systems to Traveler, not from Traveler to other systems. The sync process needs to be performed manually, as there is no automatic sync functionality available.

1. Setting Google ical

With Traveler Theme, you can manage the calendar for your service by inputting into the Event Title. If a date is available, you can enter the price for that day, such as 150 or 200. And if it’s not available, you can input the format 0|unavailable

Besides, use this format for tour/activity: adult|child|infant|price|status to enter the price.

Note: Please use a personal email for setup. In some cases, business emails have restrictions that may prevent your iCal URL from being public content

For example, set price or set unavailbe 

After finish set the price and availability on your calendar, you can follow these steps bellow to get ical URL

  • Go to  Google Calendar and click on the current calendar on the left side then select Settings and sharing
  • Set Public via Access permissions for events > Make available to public > See all event details
  • Copy ical URL in Integrate calendar > Public address in iCal format

Such as https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/travelerwp%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics

Note: You can check the content of iCal to make sure that your iCal have public content. In some cases, business emails have restrictions that may prevent your iCal URL from being public content.

  • Step 1: Open the iCal Url with the web browser then file basic.ics will be downloaded into your computer. If nothing is downloaded or the URL shows a 404 error, it means your iCal is not public.
  • Step 2: Open this file with text editor, such as Notepad.

The correct file will have date content, such as DTSTART DTEND or DTSTAMP. If your iCal unpublic, the content will be short, have only BEGIN:VCALENDAR then END:VCALENDAR
