Creating Events

From your dashboard, you can quickly and efficiently create events, or import them from Facebook if you've already published them there.

Creating Events from Facebook

If you'd like to import events from Facebook (whether from your profile or from pages you admin), just click "Create Event" and then "Add Event From Facebook".

Connecting your Facebook Account

Now click Connect.  Please make sure your pop-up blocker is disabled for our website in order for the event prompt to work!   

You'll see the following prompt:

Selecting a Facebook Event

Upon signing in, you will see a list of events that you are a host of on Facebook.  

If the event is from you a Facebook Page, you'll see the page name listed above the even (not shown here)

Click on the event you want to pull from Facebook, it will show up on the previous Create Event screen. Except this time, all the details are filled out!

Setting your ticketing or RSVP Details

Make sure to fill out the ticket capacity, the price,  and potentially the event kind before saving. Add additional tiers if you'd like, too.

Link the Withfriends event on Facebook

Last step! Don't forget to set the link to your new event as the Ticket URL on your Facebook event.  

On Facebook, go to Edit Event, and then scroll down to the Tickets section.

You're all set! Release your event upon the world!

Known Issues

  • If the Facebook connection doesn't show up upon login, make sure your pop-up blocker is disabled for our website.

  • If no Facebook events are showing up, Facebook might require you to register as a tester of Withfriends.  Shoot u a quick email telling us who will be using this feature to create events, and their Facebook Names & IDs.
