Facebook import – restricted events?

[Stuart Wooster]

Hi it states on the sales page that certain events are disallowed such as night clubs and bar events.

I have various music events held in such venues which I would like to import such as the following:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1662055914033381/
https://www.facebook.com/events/1657245404525899/
https://www.facebook.com/events/1108254832539094/
https://www.facebook.com/events/454302074762708/

Would these be disallowed from being imported?

Also, can I import these events without being an admin of the events on Facebook?

Cheers

Stuart

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins. I can answer your questions.

I tested those 4 events and they all imported for me.

Also you do not have have to be an admin of a page to import the events.

Any public page you can automatically import events from.

And any single events from organizations or profiles you can manually import if you have the id and it is a public event.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Because of the nature of the trance music industry, many events are updated later with new flyers and descriptions for when line-ups are releases. In this thread here it is suggested to set a schedule to delete events and reimport them on a weekly basis.

Is it a simple button to click to automatically delete events? If so, can it be set to delete only future events and leave old events on the system untouched?

Hi,

We only have the option to manually resync an event.

So you would have to go to each event and manually resync.

We do not have an automatic resync.

If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

Since this is marked with a correct answer I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
