Google calendar synchronization
-
Hey,
how often is Gcal synced? I have connected export from WP booking system to Gcal.
Second question: there is basically no info inside exported events. One assumes, there will be full export – dates, times, names and whatever fields there are in a form for specific calendar. Where can I set this?
thank you, Martin

Hi Martin,
how often is Gcal synced?
You can control how often the sync from an external Platform (AirBnB, Booking.com, Google Calendar) to our calendar is made. There’s an option called iCal Refresh Times, which refers to how often our plugin should make a request to that Platform and get an updated feed.
But you cannot control how often the Platform makes a request to our plugin to get the feed. Our plugin always provides an updated feed when requested, but it is up to the Platform to actually make that request. This usually happens every 1-3 hours, and as i said, it is not something we can control.
there is basically no info inside exported events.
The values from the “Description” field in the calendar editor are included in the exported ical events, so anything you type in there should appear in Google Calendar.
You can automatically fill in the Description field whenever a booking is made by adding dynamic tags in the “Autofill Event Description” field in the Form Options tab. https://www.wpbookingsystem.com/documentation/form-options/general-options/
