Is there a hook for events imported via the iCal Importer

[Keith]

Hi,

I’d like to execute custom code when events are imported via the iCal Importer. Is this a hook for this?

Regards,
Keith

Hey Keith,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

This is a great question! After a quick look through the files, I’m not seeing any hooks that we’ve added that fire after the import. However, I’ll check with one of our developers to see if they’re aware of anything that would be useful here. If not, we’ll get a feature request added for the ability to hook in after the import.

Thanks!

Hey Keith,

I spoke with one of our developers and there unfortunately isn’t a hook that we have built into the plugin that would fire for imported events.

However, there is an approach that you could take that would allow you to hook into the default WordPress save post function and conditionally run your code if it originated from an import. This would look something like:

add_action( 'wp_ajax_tribe_events_ical-importer_run_saved_import_query', function() {
    add_action( 'save_post_tribe_events', function( $event ) {
        // Code here should execute when an event is saved during the iCal import process
    }
}, 5 );

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
