Status check

Is iGMS down, or did your calendar sync quietly break?

Listing Uptime · Updated July 22, 2026

Two very different things can throw your calendar off, and they have opposite fixes. One is a real iGMS outage: the platform is down for everyone, it is rare, and it shows up on a status page. The other is your own sync silently breaking: one link goes stale, one channel disconnects, only your listings are affected, and nothing warns you. Telling them apart is the whole game, because you cannot fix a broken sync by waiting for an outage to pass.

The break a status page can’t show you

iGMS connects to Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com through direct, two-way API integrations, which is why it markets deep native Airbnb management. Any other platform, such as Tripadvisor, can only be added through an imported iCal link, not the API. iGMS says its internal blocking works faster than iCal, but it does not publish an exact API interval or an exact refresh frequency for the iCal links you import into it. In practice your API channels update quickly, while an imported iCal calendar refreshes on a delay iGMS does not disclose, so a stale or broken iCal link can leave dates open long enough to double-book.

When one of those connections fails, iGMS keeps showing the last data it pulled. There is no red banner, because from the platform’s side nothing is down. The symptoms hosts actually report look like this:

• ·A Vrbo account that needs re-verification, after which new reservations and guest messages stop arriving while the rest of iGMS looks normal
• ·Red-triangle warnings on Airbnb dates, from a temporary sync issue or a minimum-stay conflict, that silently fail to sync
• ·A Booking.com listing that goes empty or gets closed, so it quietly stops taking bookings until you re-set prices and availability
• ·An imported iCal link for a non-API platform that stops refreshing, leaving those dates stale with no error shown

What to do if your sync broke

For an Airbnb sync hiccup or red triangles, first click the sync icon next to the listing name to force a re-pull; if it is a minimum-stay conflict, open the Airbnb Listing Editor under Channels, adjust the value, and update. For a Vrbo verification block, use Unlock Account, choose your phone number, enter the code, and wait about ten to fifteen minutes for the auto-sync. For a Booking.com listing that went empty, re-set prices and availability from the calendar and check whether it was closed on Booking.com's side. If reconnecting does not restore the feed, iGMS support is on live chat and at support@igms.com.

Then confirm the calendars actually match rather than trusting that the reconnect worked, and plan for the next break. Re-linking fixes today; it does nothing about the next silent failure. Continuous monitoring re-checks every channel around the clock and messages you the minute a gap opens or a feed goes dark, in the window iGMS still shows green.
