What is a calendar hard sync or manual sync?

A "hard" or "manual" sync is performed when you want to sync your calendar before the regular interval time.

Example: Your Houfy calendar is synced with Airbnb. You get a booking on Airbnb. Houfy normally syncs (pulls in other calendar info) every 3 hours.

Let's say you don't want to risk your Houfy calendar being open that long for the possibility of a double booking. So you do a hard sync (pull in Airbnb's calendar info immediately).

Note: Some other platforms allow this as well. For example, log into Airbnb and do a manual sync of Houfy's calendar info. And Airbnb will pull in bookings from Houfy right away.
