Hello,<\/p>\n
We had our IT reach out to you pertaining to some questions we had before buying the product. Please see the conversation below. I had a few more questions which are in CAPS underneath the response from Jennifer.<\/p>\n

Hi David,<\/p>\n
Thanks for checking out Event Aggregator!<\/p>\n
The Events Calendar, which is one of our free plugins that is required for Event Aggregator to run, is a calendar plugin for your site that lets you create events on your site (from the admin section) and display them with different views on your site. Event Aggregator is a service (it’s not actually a plugin that you install on your site) that pulls from various sources (like Facebook) to automatically create\/update events in The Events Calendar.<\/p>\n
WHICH PRODUCT DO WE BUY THE EVENT CALENDAR OR THE EVENT AGGREGATOR? HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING THE ONE WE NEED?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can choose the status you want events to be set to once they’re created (draft, published, etc), so they don’t need to be visible on your public calendar right away. The calendar and published events are public by default, but if you wanted to hide it or make a members-only type calendar, you could do so with some customizations (see this article for more info).<\/p>\n WE HAVE THE OPTION TO MAKE OUR CALENDAR PRIVATE IN OUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS? HOW DO I FIND THE ARTICLE THAT IS STATED TO SEE?<\/strong><\/p>\n Event Aggregator does not monitor the sources to auto-import changes whenever they are made, but you can schedule imports to import from sources whenever you would like. Regarding import limits, this depends on the license that you go with. For example the personal license allows you up to 100 scheduled imports per day, or you could also go with the Community license for 200 scheduled imports or the Event Hub for 1000 scheduled imports.<\/p>\n SO THESE ARE IMPORTS BY DAY ONLY? WHAT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SITES IT PULLS FROM WHICH LICENSES GOES HAND AND HAND. EX WE WOULD ONLY NEED 200 IMPORTS PER DAY HOWEVER WE WOULD NEED IT TO CHECK 200 PLUS SITES? SO WHICH PACKAGE WOULD DO THAT?<\/p>\n WHEN YOU SAY IT DOES NOT AUTO IMPORT BUT YOU CAN SCHEDULE IMPORTS TO IMPORTS CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN MORE INDEPTH?<\/p>\n You do not need to be following sites to be able to import from them, but the events do need to be public (such as on Facebook) for Event Aggregator to be able to access them (see this article for more info).<\/p>\n FOR US TO IMPORT THESE EVENTS MANUAL IS IT JUST USING THE EVENTS URL?<\/p>\n Regarding customizing the types of Events that you want to pull in, you can set the date range to import from and the number of events that you want to import.<\/p>\n SO IF WE ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR EVENT BETWEEN 1\/2\/18-1\/17\/18 WE CAN SET THAT TO PULL FROM THE 200 SITES (FACEBOOK EVENT PAGES)? WHEN YOU SAY NUMBER OF EVENTS WHAT DO YOU MEAN? ALSO, CUSTOMZIE CAN WE HAVE IT PULL ONLY CERTAIN EVENTS SUCH AS PROTESTS ONLY? WHERE WOULD BUT TERMS IT THAT WE WANT IT TO PULL? (SUCH AS ANTI, DEMONSTRATE, PROTEST, ETC?)<\/p>\n I would recommend taking a look at the following articles for more info on how Event Aggregator works and what types of options it comes with:<\/p>\n Managing Your Scheduled Imports in Event Aggregator<\/p>\n Event Aggregator Import Settings<\/p>\n How Do Event Aggregator\u2019s Import Limits Work?<\/p>\n Importing Events from a Feed or URL<\/p>\n We also offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so feel free to take it for a test run!
