Importing Facebook Events Automatically

[Robert]

Hi,

I just watched your video overview of how to import Facebook Events however, it only showed where you have to go thru and check a box for each event that you want to import. Obviously this could eat up a great deal of someone’s time just sitting there sifting thru events.

We need to be able to automatically import Facebook Events into our Events Calendar without having to manually sift thru 1,000’s of events in our region. Is this possible or do you only offer a time-consuming manual checkbox and import option?

Please explain.

Thank you,
Robert

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in Facebook Events.

We do have an automatic importer for events created by Facebook Pages.

See the Facebook Importer Settings here:

To read about how to setup Automatic Imports.

Also on this page as well:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

If I have assigned additional fields/image to an already imported FB event, would those be wiped upon Synch?

[Brian]

HI,

The plugin does not auto sync so you can make changes in WordPress and they would remain.

There is a manual sync that would overwrite changes if used.

Cheers

Thank you Brian!
