Recurring + Facebook

[Jamie]

I just wanted to clarify – can the Facebook importer pull public events off of Facebook business pages? I’m asking because as I read through the wording, it made it sound like only personal pages or Facebook groups were supported, and I know FB treats business pages somewhat differently.

My business currently has recurring events that happen every week that are primarily listed on our website only. On our Facebook page, special events get posted, and most of the time, someone forgets to also list these special events on the website. If we could pull special events from our business Facebook page and insert them into the timeline with our recurring events, that would solve our problems.

Thanks!

Hi Jamie. Thanks for your interest in our Facebook Events add-on to The Events Calendar.

I believe you’ll find the information you’re looking for at the add-on’s New User Primer help article. It states, “Note: The Facebook Events API only enables automatic import for Pages and Organizations. Profiles and Groups will not work with Automatic Imports, but can be manually imported.”

Both Automatic and Manual import methods are discussed at that link.

Let me know if I can help with any other Facebook pre-sales questions.

Also, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.
