Facebook Importing

Is there plans to reapply?

Xylus themes has some workaround and wondering if your team will as well.

Hi there Perry

Yesterday we received a response from Facebook on our application resubmission. Unfortunately, they declined use of the Facebook Events API. We are exploring the method to export iCal from Facebook as a method to import it into Event Aggregator. Before promoting this method, we’re testing the limits of this a bit further. We will keep you posted if this method will work.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

When was that work around by Xylus themes posted please?

Hey Hazel

I am in the process of writing an article now on our only option to get Facebook events imported via Event Aggregator . This option does work: https://www.facebook.com/help/152652248136178/

BUT

This imports everything a user has been invited to, expressed interest in, or is attending. Personally, I’m not sure how useful this will be as my own experience is that I get invited to a lot of random Facebook events all the time. Still, if you are great about monitoring that, and are eager to hold on to any import tools you can, this could still work.

So sorry this is not seeming to go better.

Thanks

Courtney thank you kindly! I tried the instructions from FB and saved the .ics file for an event I indicated I was interested in on my hard drive then took the ICS import option and got this message every time I tried. Your preview doesn’t have any records to import.

Am I doing something wrong…see screenshot

Hey Hazel

Use the webcal link without saving the file.

Let me know if that passes.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Still not able to ICS import. I followed the FB instructions at the link you posted and I get this popup that allows me to choose the 30boxes.com calendar or an application on my hardrive (see attachment) and of course I can go no further to save the webcal link. Am I missing something??

Also, why is there an option for 30boxes.com! Are they allowing some calendar 3rd party access?

[Courtney]

Hey Hazel

I’m not sure why 30boxes appears on your computer.

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-import-facebook-events-into-event-aggregator/ is our new guide for the only ways we know of to import Facebook events at this time.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

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!
