How do I sync my Hipcamp calendar with my Q Book calendar? [Desktop]

  • Updated

If you are hosting on Q Book in addition to Hipcamp, it's important that your Calendars are properly synced to prevent double bookings. When set up properly, Calendars will be synced regularly to keep availability up to date and we will always sync your Calendars right before a new Hipcamp booking is put through to make sure no double bookings occur.

Please note: Sync tools are only available on live units and this must be done on a desktop device at this time.

Step 1: Grab your Hipcamp link to export into Q Book

  1. Visit your External Calendars page. You can navigate there from your Dashboard homepage or via your Calendar under the Options tab. The above link will take you right there!
  2. Click Add a calendar and name it Q Book
  3. Copy the Hipcamp export link and hit Save

Step 2: Send your Hipcamp links to Q Book

  1. Click onto your Hipcamp Calendar tab
  2. Click Options in the right-hand corner (next to Bulk Edit)
  3. Select Download .CVS of External Calendars from the drop down
  4. This will download the files onto your computer
  5. Send the files to Q Book and they can send you their return iCal links

Step 3: Grab your Q Book link

(If Q Book have not sent your return iCals links, you have the ability to export your existing Q Book links).

  1. Go to the Channel Manager section of Q Book by going to More > Channel Manager
  2. If the site clicks onto ‘Connect with Hipcamp’, you have the option to select I have an account with Hipcamp or I wish to join Hipcamp 
  3. If you select I have an account, you can export your Q-Book links by following the instructions

If you add new sites, you’ll need to contact Q Book to get the new links for you.

Step 4: Adding your Q Book link into Hipcamp

  1. Copy the Q Book calendar feed link (beginning with https) from Q Book, and go back to your Hipcamp External Calendars page
  2. Click Edit on the specific site that you are syncing with Q Book and paste your Q Book link into the Import Link box
  3. Hit Save and visit the page in a few hours to make sure that your two-way sync is active! 

You’ll be able to tell things are working if you see the Connected label next to your calendars.

This is what it will look like if everything is working:
