If you rent out properties, equipment, or other bookable items, your calendar needs to show the right availability at the right time. This update helps imported calendar bookings follow your actual rental schedule, so your listing is less likely to appear unavailable when it should still be open.

📌 Why This Matters

Many connected calendars send bookings as date-only events without exact check-in or check-out times. When that happens, availability can be blocked too broadly and accidentally close off nearby dates.

With this improvement, your CRM now uses your listing’s booking setup and rental times to interpret imported bookings more accurately. That means:

• Fewer accidental blocks: Nearby dates are less likely to be marked unavailable by mistake.
• More accurate booking pages: Customers see availability that better matches your real rental schedule.
• Less manual checking: Future imported events stay aligned with your current settings automatically.

✨ What’s New

• Imported date-only bookings follow your rental times: If an external calendar sends dates without exact times, the system now applies your configured rental start and end times instead of blocking midnight to midnight.
• Exact timestamps are honored when available: If the imported event includes a start and end time, those exact hours are used so only the true blocked period is affected.
• Works with common rental booking setups: This applies to listings using date selector mode and fixed duration options like daily, weekly, or monthly rentals.
• Future events update with your settings: If you change your booking mode or rental times later, future and current imported events are recalculated automatically using the latest setup.

For example, if your rental hours are 3:00 PM to 11:00 AM and an imported booking covers April 15 to April 17, the blocked time will now reflect April 15 at 3:00 PM through April 17 at 11:00 AM instead of blocking full midnight-to-midnight days.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: Open the rental listing you want to manage in your CRM.
2. Step 2: Connect the external calendar you use for syncing availability.
3. Step 3: Set your booking mode and rental start/end times for that listing.
4. Step 4: Let imported bookings sync automatically using the correct timing rules for your setup.
5. Step 5: If you adjust your rental hours later, future imported bookings will update to match your latest configuration.

💡 Pro Tip

Check your rental start and end times carefully, because even a small timing fix can reopen bookable dates and help you capture more reservations.
