Status check

Is Uplisting 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 Uplisting 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

Uplisting is an official partner of Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, and connects to those three plus Google through direct APIs rather than iCal. On those channels it markets real-time, two-way sync and automatic double-booking protection, though it does not publish an exact interval. Every other booking site connects by iCal, which Uplisting is clear carries far less: blocked dates only, no rates, no rules, no guest details, refreshed on a polling schedule it does not publish. So even with real-time protection on the big three, two gaps stay open: anything connected by iCal, and any API channel whose connection silently drops or is left half-finished.

When one of those connections fails, Uplisting 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 channel connection that was never fully confirmed on the platform's side, so it looks connected in Uplisting while nothing actually flows
• ·Bookings that predate a new API connection, which never import, so those dates can look open in Uplisting
• ·An iCal-connected site that lags and carries no detail, so a reservation there lands after the calendar has already shown the dates as free
• ·A dropped connection that stops syncing silently, and on reconnect Airbnb listings come back as brand-new listings you have to match

What to do if your sync broke

To reconnect a channel, open Uplisting's Connect screen, choose the channel, and approve the connection on Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo, after which Uplisting re-imports your listings, prices, and bookings. Note that reconnecting Airbnb brings listings in as new, so match them carefully, and Booking.com can take around twenty minutes to resume syncing. For an iCal-connected site, open the listing on your calendar, go to the property's Settings, Booking sites tab, and re-add the fresh iCal link to re-establish the feed.

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 Uplisting still shows green.
