GleamSync Features

GleamSync connects to your Airbnb and VRBO calendars using the iCal standard. Simply paste your calendar URL, and GleamSync automatically imports all your bookings. The calendar syncs every few hours to capture new reservations, modifications, and cancellations.

How it works:

• Copy your iCal URL from Airbnb or VRBO settings
• Paste the URL when adding a property in GleamSync
• GleamSync imports existing and future bookings automatically
• Calendar syncs multiple times daily to stay current
• Cancelled bookings are automatically removed

GleamSync calculates the exact cleaning window between each guest checkout and the next check-in. This window is displayed prominently so cleaners know exactly how much time they have to complete the turnover.

• Configurable default times per property
• Same-day turnovers highlighted with special alerts
• Visual timeline showing checkout → clean → check-in

• Same-day alerts - Urgent notifications for same-day turnovers
• New booking alerts - Notify when new cleans are scheduled

Channels supported:

• Email (via SendGrid)
