how to filter imports

[jordan]

How can i filter imported events from Google? I have tired to put in -meetings but nothing shows up when i am just trying to eliminate anything with the word meeting. I want everything else but meetings. It does not appear to be working. If i do not put anything in the filter box i do get all events from the Google calendar so it is just the filter that doesn’t seem to work using –

Hi Jordan,

Sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the search filters. I will try to help figure out the problem.

Do you have a link to the calendar where this is occurring so I can take a look?

Thanks,
Sky

Jordan,

I am able see this working properly on your site.

Here is an event with “meeting” in the description showing in the calendar:

And then I added this in the search filter:

And this is the result I see in the calendar:

Is there a specific event that is not working that I could look at?

Thanks,
Sky

I am trying to filter event aggregator so that events with the word meeting
are not imported at all.

Jordan,

Ah, I see. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The filter in the aggregator does not support the “-” to omit events with certain keywords the way the Tribe Search Bar does. You could assign all non meetings a keyword, but this may be a lot of work if most of your events are not meetings. It would probably be easier to search and delete based on the keyword after import.

I know this is not the answer you were hoping for, and I apologize I don’t have a better answer for you.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Sky
