The answer

No system should be assumed infallible. Update timing, integration limits, configuration, and user actions can create gaps. Understand the actual synchronization method and monitor the authoritative calendar.

Test reservation and cancellation events, maintain alerts, and define a response process. Avoid treating a connection status alone as evidence that all dates are correct across channels.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
