I don’t know why the <−> in the title got lost 🙁
Can the admin change the title to “Facebook Events <−> Google Calendar <−> EventOn” please? Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.
It’s just a anonymised “dummy” link that is not supposed to work, it’s just for showing the structure of the link. But basically every personal Facebook profile (but not the Facebook pages unfortunately) do provide such link.

What addon are you suggesting?

And any guidance for my first question in case I would rather go with the Sync addon I already bought?

Hello,

I would not want to share a link to my private events here in public, sorry. But if you have a Facebook account yourself that’s how to get the link:

1. Navigate to a web browser and login to your Facebook account
2. Head to your Events page or copy and paste this URL into your web browser: https://www.facebook.com/events/
3. On the Events page, scroll down and you will see an option on the right stating You can add your events to Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
4. Right click which option you want to copy, for us we choose, Upcoming Events and select Copy link address

Thanks for updating the title guys.
Any help on the remaining two questions please?

This ticket is about a workflow to import Facebook Events via the Google Calendar to EventON.
I need a solution right now.
This ticket is NOT about waiting for the update of the Sync addon!
Could please answer my questions please?
@infotainerdave: What addon are you suggesting?
@Basilis Kanonidis: Were you able to get a working link following my last post?
Any guidance on the best workflow to import Facebook Events via the Google Calendar to EventON?

Thanks Basilis and Ashan  for your time and reply.

Well Facebook does allow you to export Facebook events via ICS files. Even though event pictures are not included in these ICS files unfortunately and would have to be added manually then in WordPress. And this only works for personal Facebook profiles but not for Facebook pages unfortunately.

Option 1:
So a possible solution is to buy the EventON ICS importer to import those ICS files.

I have attached an image to this post how this is done.

It has been over a week now since this ticket is open and my question for a workaround remains.
I would highly appreciate some guidance and “how to” or “best practice” here from you guys.
Is there at least a way to automate the manual copy?

Thanks infotainerdave. What you are describing is Option 1 in a nutshell. I even mentioned the EventON ICS importer, too. And yes this only works for events on your personal Facebook profile. But I explained before that I would not want to spend money on an addition addon because I already bought the Sync addon. Nevertheless it’s an option agreed.

And what you are suggesting in the second part of your reply is Option 2.
But I can’t find any advice on how to avoid the manual copy of each single event inside the Google Calendar from the Facebook source to the Google Calendar.

Have you guys been able to get a working link following my post from May 10,2018 AT 5:07PM?

May I ask why is that?

Hi Basilis, over one week has passed now since your last reply. Could you share some insight what progress you are making?

I too would like an update. I recently purchased 3 Event on plugins and 1-5 sync licences and have never been able to use them (it was before the purchase warning was up). I think if you don’t have a timescale for fixing it, you should look at shelving the the product for now, regardless of wether there is a warning or not, the fact that it’s still on sale implies that a fix is on the way, but it doesn’t seem like that is the case.

An update would be much apprecaited

Thanks
