Connect Canopy & Stars to Campiamo
Set up two-way iCal calendar sync between Canopy & Stars and Campiamo, so a booking on either side blocks the dates on the other.
Last updated Invalid Date
Canopy & Stars and Campiamo exchange calendars using iCal: each side publishes a calendar link and reads the other's on a schedule. A Canopy & Stars booking blocks the dates in Campiamo — and on your website, widget and other channels — and your Campiamo bookings block the dates with Canopy & Stars.
If calendar sync is new to you, read how channel sync works first.
A natural fit for glamping spaces
Canopy & Stars lists individual spaces — a treehouse, a cabin, a shepherd's hut — and calendar sync is built for exactly that shape: one space, one Campiamo pitch type, one unit. Keep it one-to-one and the sync just works. If the pitch type holds more than one unit, the unit-count rules explain what goes wrong and how to restructure.
Step 1: Create the connection in Campiamo
- Go to Channels in the dashboard sidebar.
- Find Canopy & Stars and choose Connect.
- Pick the pitch type this space corresponds to.
Keep the dialog open while you fetch the link from your owner dashboard.
Step 2: Copy your Canopy & Stars calendar link
In your Canopy & Stars owner dashboard, open your space's calendar settings and find the iCal export link. Copy it — it ends in .ics. If you can't find it, the Canopy & Stars owner team can point you to it.
Step 3: Finish the connection in Campiamo
Paste the link into the Calendar link from Canopy & Stars field and save. Campiamo checks the link immediately and refuses anything that isn't a calendar feed, with an explanation.
Once saved, Campiamo shows your calendar link. Copy it.
Step 4: Give your Campiamo link to Canopy & Stars
In the same calendar settings, add your Campiamo link as an imported calendar and name it "Campiamo". Both directions are now connected.
What syncs, and how quickly
Campiamo → Canopy & Stars: all unavailable dates for the pitch type — bookings, manual blocks, closed season, availability windows — published 365 days ahead. How often Canopy & Stars re-reads is up to them.
Canopy & Stars → Campiamo: read every 15 minutes; busy dates become blocks marked "Booked on Canopy & Stars". No booking is created — the calendar file carries no guest details, so the guest and their payment live in your owner dashboard. Cancellations release the blocks on the next sync; Sync now forces an immediate read.
When something is wrong
"That link did not return a calendar feed." — the link isn't a calendar export. Copy the .ics link from your space's calendar settings, not a page address.
Canopy & Stars shows you closed when Campiamo looks free — season and availability-window closures are exported deliberately, so no channel can sell a night you're shut.
Blocked dates with no booking to open — that's a Canopy & Stars stay: dates held here, guest details in your owner dashboard.
Sync history with exact failure reasons is on the Channels page, and the note on double bookings applies here as with every iCal channel.
