Title: Hiding Details in iCalendar URL
Post by: clavelle on September 13, 2026, 09:22:04 AM
I know you can hide details in the website widget, but looking for a way to hide specific details of an event in the iCalendar URL.  Trying to share Available dates on facebook, but when I use the icalendar it includes any notes, bandhelper users attached to the event, etc.  Just want date(s), time, and Event Title to show in the iCalender feed.   If there is a native way to integrate the website widget into facebook, that works too.

Thanks!

How do you integrate an iCal feed with Facebook? I see that you can display FB events on another calendar, but I don't think you can create FB events from another calendar.

Anyway, the iCal feeds are meant for personal use, and don't include a way to hide non-public information.

As far as I can, tell, Facebook only allows a couple of very specific apps for direct integration. It does, however, offer a quick action button on the homepage of a business account that lets you attach a URL. I can attach my Google Calendar account, which has the BandHelper calendar loaded on it.  I tested it and it works, but currently it's showing all the details of the event in the description Feild, which I really don't want to display to the general public.

In regards to it being for personal info, makes sense, completely understand. As always, thanks for the quick reply.

Would you want to see the full event info when you look at your Google Calendar, or could that show limited info to you as well as to Facebook?
