How to share your availability on Instagram, WhatsApp or your link in bio

You do not need a website to show guests when your rental is free. One availability link, shared in your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp replies or your link-in-bio page, lets guests check your dates themselves, then book on the platform you choose.

Follow the guide
QUICK ANSWER

Get one availability link, then put it where guests already find you

Create a calendar page that combines your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com dates, then add its link to your Instagram profile, your WhatsApp business profile and saved replies, or your link-in-bio page.

  • One link shows guests your free and booked nights, with a button to book on your listing.
  • Instagram: add it to your profile from Edit profile.
  • WhatsApp Business: save it as a quick reply, then type / in any chat to send it.
  • Check booking platforms' rules before sharing outside links in your listings or their messages.

Instagram

Your profile link is the one place on Instagram where any visitor can tap through, so it is the best place for your availability link.

  1. 1

    Add it to your profile

    Go to your profile, tap Edit profile and add the link. Menu names vary between app versions.

  2. 2

    Point people to it

    Mention it in your bio, for example "Check dates: link below", and in post captions when you share photos of the rental.

  3. 3

    Use it in Stories

    If your account can add a link sticker to Stories, link it to your availability page when you post about open dates.

04

WhatsApp

On WhatsApp you can simply paste the link into a chat. If you use the WhatsApp Business app, two features save you typing it each time.

  1. 1

    Save it as a quick reply

    In WhatsApp Business, open Tools, then Quick replies, and save a message with your link and a shortcut such as /dates.

  2. 2

    Send it in any chat

    Type / in the message box to see your quick replies and pick the one with your link.

  3. 3

    Add it to your business profile

    Add the link to your business profile's website field so guests can find it from your profile.

06

Other places to share it

The same link works anywhere you talk to guests outside the booking platforms.

  • Your Facebook page, as its website link or in posts about open dates.
  • Your email signature and replies to enquiries.
  • A QR code in your welcome pack or guest book, so past guests can check dates for their next stay.
  • Text messages to returning guests.

Booking platforms have rules about sharing outside links and contact details in listings and in their messages. Share your availability link on your own channels, and check each platform's policy before posting it there.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about sharing your availability.

Do I need a website to share my availability?

No. Your SingleCal calendar has its own page and link, so you can share it on Instagram, WhatsApp or anywhere else without a website.

Does the link update by itself?

Yes. The page reads your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendars, about every 6 hours on Free and about every 15 minutes on Pro, so the link always shows your latest checked dates.

Can guests book through the link?

No. Guests check your free dates, then tap through to book on the listing you chose, such as Airbnb or Vrbo.

Will guests see my private calendar links?

No. The page shows only which nights are unavailable. Your calendar links stay private and are never shown to guests.

Can I share links for more than one rental?

Yes. Each rental has its own calendar page and link. Free covers one rental, and Pro covers up to five.
