Facebook Events Sync?

[intersectmg]

We’ve been using your Calendar for quite some time. Our client prefers to use FB to list her events. We then manually copy these events to her WP Calendar. It appears on the surface that your FB add-on would be a huge time saver for us. BUT, she has a tendency to change / update information on the FB event. Will this sync with the WP FB event or is it just a one-time pull?

Hey @intersectmg,

While the Facebook Importer may still end up saving you a lot of time, it unfortunately does not sync events from Facebook.

It is a one time importer. This is because as of now the Facebook Graph API does not have a way to detect if an event has changed, which is what our plugin uses to import the events.

Sorry to disappoint! The only method for getting the new info from Facebook is to either manually update the already-imported event, or just delete the already-imported event and re-import the original Facebook.com event to minimize “data-entry”-style work on your end of things.

Let me know if this helps and/or if there’s anything else I can help with!
