Hey there Andrei

We do not directly integrate with IFTTT/Zapier. However, both of these have options that use custom post types. Our plugin is technically a custom post type called “events”.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types

Connecting with the general WordPress options will solve this. You can follow along with this tutorial to get started: https://theeventscalendar.com/automating-event-promotion-zapier/.

Does this help?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

ifttt uses incredibly many Applet
do you know one for facebook to export link, title and photo?

Hey there Andrei

Are you wanting to automatically publish links from your site to Facebook? If so, I’d suggest looking for an RSS tool to do that. I’ve used https://blog.hootsuite.com/hoottip-how-to-set-up-your-rss-feed-in-hootsuite/ in the past to auto-publish links from sites to Facebook. Your event RSS feed would look like https://wpshindig.com/events/feed/ (our demo site).

We also have Event Aggregator which would import Facebook events as event posts on your site.

We do not have a way to auto-generate events on Facebook.

Does that clarify things?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
