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.

On a related note, looking for the simplest way to share available dates to a venue using an export.  I already added a category for available dates and added the dates we were not booked and or someone was unavailable.  So now I can filter on available dates through the "Available" category, but it includes a bunch of extra stuff i don't need or want to send to a venue.   Just want to send these dates are available full stop.  Any suggestions on how to remove the extra fields from the export, similar to how you can in a shared set list?
