Calendar export via iCal

Want to see Booquela bookings in your Google Calendar or Apple Calendar? iCal export lets you sync a room's calendar with any external calendar.

How to generate an iCal link

1. Go to Owner Panel -> Calendar -> iCal.
2. Click Generate Feed next to the room you want to export.
3. The system will create a unique link - copy it.

Adding to Google Calendar

1. Open Google Calendar.
2. On the left side, click "+" next to "Other calendars".
3. Select "From URL".
4. Paste the copied link from Booquela.
5. Click "Add calendar".

Bookings will appear within a few minutes. Google Calendar refreshes subscriptions automatically (usually every few hours).

Adding to Apple Calendar

1. Select File -> New Calendar Subscription.
2. Paste the link.
3. Click Subscribe and choose the refresh frequency.

What the feed contains

In the exported calendar you'll find:

• Confirmed bookings with the client's name and hours
• Manual blocks
• Buffers between sessions

Cancelled and expired bookings are not exported.

How often does the feed refresh?

It depends on the external calendar - Google Calendar usually refreshes subscriptions every few hours, Apple Calendar lets you set the frequency (from every 5 minutes to once daily). The Booquela feed is generated live - every time the link is accessed, it returns the current calendar state.

Can I share the link with my team?

Yes, but do it carefully. The link contains an access token - anyone who has it can see the room's calendar. If someone unauthorized gains access, regenerate the link (details in the article about regenerating iCal links).

Does each room have a separate link?

Yes. You generate a separate feed for each room. This way you can export, for example, only the cyclorama room to your calendar and the portrait room to your manager's calendar.
