# Sync Google Calendar Automatically

 * I have managed to manually import an entry from my Google Calendar, but how do
   I set WordPress to automatically sync?
   I can see the ‘Activate Auto Import’ feature,
   which I changed to be every hour, but I deleted the event in my Google Calendar
   well over an hour ago, yet it still appears on the bookings tab.
 * Is there a way to make it so that the sync will delete out entries from the booking
   screen which have been deleted from with the Google Calendar?

 * Hello.
 * It’s possible only in case, if you will start import bookings via .ics feeds.
 * Also you need to set for this option “Trash / delete all imported bookings before
   new import” value as “Permanently delete”. To move all previously imported bookings
   to trash or permanently delete before new import bookings. Its can resolve issue
   of updating deleted and edited events in external sources. Its work only, if 
   you are using one source (.ics feed) for importing into specific booking resource!
 * Relative import via .ics feeds.
 * Please read more about this feature here: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync)
 * Import.
 * Please check about the configuration of import events from .ics feeds in this
   FAQ instruction here [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/)
 * Please note, the import process is working in that case, when some visitor is
   open your website page with booking import shortcode. So you can configure CRON
   at your server, for periodically accessing this page with booking import shortcode
   to start the import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking
   form shortcode, so firstly the system will start the import process and only 
   then show the booking form, when someone visits your page.
 * **In case if you are having some issue of not ability to import new events, then
   check this troubleshooting instruction: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/)**
 * You can define CRON at your server for periodically access pages with import .
   ics feeds shortcodes and start import process during specific time-intervals,
   then check this: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/)
 * Export.
 * Please check about the configuration of export .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction
   here [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/)
 * Booking Calendar is generated .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often
   some services (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import 
   the bookings from Booking Calendar into their own system, does not depend on 
   the Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force the 
   import process by third party service, when some booking is created. You need
   to check with support of this service (like airbnb or booking.com), about how
   often they can access the .ics feed for making imports.
 *  Kind Regards.
