Quick and efficient work on my site, issues sorted at a very quick pace.

I had some issues initially due to my php version being 8. But when I contacted support they were very responsive and helped me promptly to overcome the issues. Now it is working great!

Not working for me. I made a facebook app, and I setup many many more things what I saw in your video, but its not working.

Once setup, you need to be 'interested' in the event and then import using Event ID. I can say that the import to The Events Calendar plugin was great. The venue, title, description, date/time, link to Facebook transferred well. Also the image of the event is imported as featured event, which was great. If there are recurring events, they are imported as separate events with one click (although we have paid version of Events Calendar supporting recurring events). One minor improvement could be to move to event edit page after import to fine tune it before publishing; otherwise you need to go back and search under events to make corrections.

We had been using the free version on a clients page and switched to the premium ressource. The scheduled import did not work at first, but within a few days the developer got back to me with a working solution to the issue. That said make sure your cron is working 😉 The structure of the data also allows you to adjust the look with builder-themes like Divi, which is a plus as well.

Pulling event Facebook event info into a district-wide calendar that's pre-filtered for our neighborhood is a crucial part of promoting our businesses. And so when Facebook changes their API suddenly (it happens a lot), the disruption can be substantial. The Xylus team is quick with customer support and working behind the scenes to find workarounds that work just as good as any direct API imports, and this scheduled iCal import method they fine-tuned has saved our ability to provide the local event information that our visitors need (without the noise of their Facebook feed!). Great customer service for us as a paying Pro customer. Well worth the money.
