Connect Leviathan PMS or any iCal calendar

Import bookings from Leviathan PMS or any iCal calendar (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo), and export an iCal feed that blocks dates booked in the guest portal.

Leviathan PMS #

  1. In Leviathan, ask your administrator for API access: the LeviathanAuth token, your app_id and your company_id.
  2. Open Settings → Channels → Leviathan PMS, paste the three values, tick Enabled, Save and Test.
  3. Show listings shows the unit IDs. Paste each into Settings → Properties → Settings → Leviathan unit ID.
  4. Import now — afterwards every 30 minutes.

Only stays are imported: inquiries, pending requests and holds are skipped, cancellations are applied, and the booking shows the channel it came from (Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Vrbo or Direct).

iCal import (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Calendar …) #

Almost every platform can export a calendar as an iCal link. The guest portal can read it:

  1. Copy the export link of the listing — for example in Airbnb Calendar → Availability → Connect calendars → Export calendar, in Booking.com Rates & availability → Sync calendars → Export.
  2. Paste it into Settings → Properties → Settings → iCal import URL (it must start with https://).
  3. Settings → Channels → iCal feed → Import now, then automatically every 30 minutes.

Airbnb marks bookings as Reserved and owner blocks as Not available — blocks are skipped. Booking.com exports every occupied night as CLOSED – Not available, bookings and closures alike, so for Booking.com feeds every event is imported as a stay; delete the ones that are only closures.

iCal export #

The other direction: every property has a private export link (Settings → Properties → Settings → iCal export) containing all bookings and blocked dates from the guest portal. Import it into your other channels so they close dates you booked locally.

Frequently asked questions #

How fast are iCal changes picked up? #

The guest portal reads every 30 minutes. Many platforms refresh imported calendars only every few hours, so direct channel managers (Hostaway, Rentals United, Channex) are faster.

SiteMinder / Little Hotelier? #

A connector is planned. Until then use their iCal export or the API.
