Dealing with Multiple Eventbrite Accounts…workaround?

[David]

I’ve Googled extensively.

I’ve set up a Google calendar with a zap from eventbrite. It will ADD a new event, but not update it. So, if you import calendar with wrong data or mistype the date, your only option is to go to Google Calendar and manually change the information. Essentially, you’d have to change it in two places.

It’s also a pain that it doesn’t allow for links to be zapped over from eventbrite – text only, so you have to copy and paste a crazy looking link.

GOAL: create a SINGLE calendar that is being fed calendars from multiple organizations.

The idea was to feed eventbrite accounts to a single Google Calendar and embed that on the site – but see above issues…

Would it be possible to set up events on your plugin and feed multiple eventbrite accounts?

We are going to get HUGE resistance to changing from Eventbrite. Thanks

Hi David,

Thanks for reaching out! While our usage of Eventbrite’s API limits the number of account activations to one per site, this doesn’t restrict your imports to only events owned by that account. Events owned by other Eventbrite accounts can be imported by simply entering the event’s ID (as indicated in this forum thread).

If you’re not sure whether this level of functionality might suffice for your site, I’d suggest giving it a try–should you find that it’s not quite meeting your expectations, we’re glad to refund any order within 30 days of purchase. Just drop us a message using our refund request form, and we’ll take care of the rest.

I hope that helps to answer your question here! Thanks again for dropping by, and let us know if there’s anything else we can assist with!

Thanks Caroline.

Does that mean that EACH time an event is created that it needs to be manually added?

I think what we need is an automatic feed from 5 Eventbrite accounts (maybe more down the road)

Thanks!

Hi David,

Unfortunately, yes, we don’t currently offer a way to sync all events from multiple Eventbrite accounts using Eventbrite Tickets. I’m sorry to disappoint! 🙁 That said, we are definitely open to including this type of functionality in a future update, should there be sufficient interest–I’d encourage you to pay a visit to our UserVoice forum, where you can submit feature requests and cast your vote for ones you’d like to see added to our products. We hope to see you there!

Again, I’m so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but thank you for taking the time to pay us a visit! Let us know if you should have any other questions–we’ll certainly do our best to assist!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
