Add an option in iCal export to include checkout day for cleaning schedules
When Hostfully’s iCal feed is imported to Google Calendar, the event appears to end the night before checkout. This causes confusion for property managers and cleaners who rely on Google Calendar to see when a property is still occupied or needs cleaning.
Hostfully exports the data correctly (from check-in to check-out), but Google interprets the event as ending on the previous night. It would be very helpful to have an optional setting in the iCal export that adds one extra day to the event duration.
This way, the checkout day would also show as busy in Google Calendar, providing a clearer and more accurate view for turnover and cleaning scheduling.

For others, currently when Airbnb or Hostfully calendars are imported into Google calendars (which some cleaners use) the stays show up as just the nights booked so the departure/cleaning day appears as one day early. This is a known issue well-discussed on forums as the STR/Hotel industry is based on partial days, and Google is set up for full days. This relatively simple fix would add the extra day so that cleaners or others could import a hostfully calendar to Google Cal, and it would format with the correct departure day.
