The answer
Use one authoritative availability process and understand how connected systems update each other. Test bookings, cancellations, blocks, and restrictions across channels. Maintain monitoring and a failure response.
Do not assume a sync indicator means every date is correct. Clear responsibility matters when manual changes or exceptions occur. Reconcile the calendar regularly with actual reservations.
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.
