Should I Renew? Need Features on Feeds

[Susan]

I saw a post saying that more features would be added since we can no longer pull from Facebook (for now). I haven’t seen any updates and am having some issues. My renewal is due, and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it since I have to do so much manually now.

1) There is no way to set an organizer, featured image or organizer when you import a feed. Venues do not add a “venue” on their website since people visiting there know it’s at their place. So no venue is set. You have to manually open each event imported and edit to add any of these.

2) There should be a way to set a featured image for all events from a feed. If the venue doesn’t add a photo, there is nothing to pull, once again, having to edit each event manually.

3) When it pulls with no venue, organizer, with me as the author, there is no way to search or order the events after import to see which ones you just pulled, or it pulled manually and need to be edited.

4) There should be a filter for date added to site, so you can at least sort the last ones added.

5) There is no way to bulk edit and change or add the organizer, venue, featured image, etc. You have to manually edit each one.

Hi Susan,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

We appreciate all of your ideas.  Would you mind specifying what import source you are using, where you are not seeing these features?  I’d love to be able to give you some more specific advice on your ideas.  Did you have any specific questions about the missing features or how you’d be able to implement something similar?

You can also add these ideas to our Feature Requests, as we tend to implement ideas based on customer feedback, so your input is greatly appreciated:
