You can create a subscription link (ICS format) to your Fairly reservation calendar. This allows third parties, such as service providers, family members, or anyone else you choose, to view reservation dates in their own calendar apps (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.).
The person subscribing does not need a Fairly account. They simply add the ICS link you provide to their preferred calendar app, and the reservations will appear as a separate calendar titled: Fairly: [Your Home’s Address] Reservations
This is a read only subscription. It does not give them access to your Fairly account, and they cannot edit your calendar. Events will be labeled as:
Owner reservation (when you’ve booked time in your home yourself)
Guest reservation (when a guest is staying)
Guest names are never shared.
Important to know before sharing
Once you share an ICS link, it cannot be revoked.
It is up to you as the homeowner (or your collaborators) to manage who receives the link.
Anyone with the link will be able to view the reservation dates for your home.
Step 1: Copy your ICS calendar link
Go to your home in Fairly.
Navigate to the Calendar tab.
Click Share icon (next to Today button), then click ‘Copy link’ when prompted.
Step 2: Share the link
Send the copied link to whoever you would like to share it with. They can subscribe to the calendar in the app of their choice by following the instructions below.
