Pages with similar names

[Keith]

I’m trying to import from this page https://www.facebook.com/groups/SevillaIntercambio/events/ . The name of the page is Sevilla Intercambio, with no “s” on the end.
The message on the import screen is “Sevilla Intercambios does not have any Facebook events”. Note the “s” on the end of the group name. There is a similar group at this URL https://www.facebook.com/sevillaintercambio/events. Its name is “Sevilla Intercambios”, with an “s”. It appears that the importer is attempting to import from the second page, not the first.

Good evening Keith and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about your struggles with importing events from a Facebook group.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but at this point, there is no built-in way to automatically import events from Facebook Groups, only on Facebook pages.

We do however support FB event imports by event ID (found under Events -> Import -> Facebook).

The good news is that the feature to automatically import from Facebook groups IS on our roadmap.
In fact, you can vote for it here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/8942296-automatic-import-from-facebook-groups

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
