Publish your availability
Anli produces an iCal calendar feed of your property’s bookings that external channels can subscribe to.
Channel Sync (iCal)
Keep your Anli calendar and your booking channels telling the same story.
Anli Channel Sync works over iCal — the calendar format virtually every booking channel supports. Your Anli availability is published as a calendar feed, and calendars from your other channels come into Anli, so the team plans from one calendar instead of three tabs.
For: Hotels and shortlets that also take bookings through external channels and fear the double-booking phone call.
What Channel Sync (iCal) does
Bring external calendars in
Import iCal calendars from the channels you sell on, so bookings made elsewhere are visible inside Anli.
One planning calendar
External bookings sit alongside Anli reservations in the team’s calendar view, reducing double-booking surprises.
Built for shortlets too
iCal is how most shortlet platforms sync calendars — Channel Sync is designed for apartments as much as hotels.
No middleware, no extra contract
iCal sync needs no third-party channel manager subscription; it uses the calendar links your channels already give you.
Honest by design
Anli syncs via iCal rather than claiming native OTA integrations — what syncs, and how, is always visible to your team.

How it works in practice
A shortlet sells the same apartment on Anli and on an external platform. The platform’s iCal calendar is imported into Anli and Anli’s feed is pasted into the platform. A booking made on the platform shows up in the Anli calendar the team already works from, and the apartment stops being sold twice for the same weekend.
Channel Sync (iCal) — questions, answered
Does Anli connect directly to Booking.com or Airbnb?
Anli does not claim native integrations with OTAs. Channel Sync works over iCal, the standard calendar format that Booking.com, Airbnb and most other channels support for importing and exporting booking calendars.
What is iCal channel sync?
iCal sync exchanges booking calendars as calendar feeds: a channel subscribes to your Anli calendar to see booked dates, and Anli imports the channel’s calendar so its bookings are visible in your planning view.
Who is Channel Sync for?
Any property that sells rooms or apartments through more than one channel — especially shortlets and small hotels — and wants those bookings visible in one calendar.
