<\/span>\u00a0Overview<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains the current process (2026) for importing events from a Facebook Page<\/strong> you manage into Modern Events Calendar using the Meta Graph API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span> Important Notice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Access to Facebook Events has become restricted due to Meta\u2019s API changes. You can only import events from Pages you administer<\/strong> (not personal profiles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old permission page_events<\/code> is no longer available. The main permission now is pages_read_engagement<\/code><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with correct setup, event availability is not guaranteed<\/strong> and depends on Meta\u2019s policies, event type (online events usually work better than in-person), App Review status, and Page settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature should be considered a best-effort integration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
