Introduction
If you’re someone who frequently uses both Facebook and Google Calendar, you know how frustrating it can be to manually enter events from one platform to the other. However, in 2024, Facebook has announced a new feature that will allow users to sync their Facebook events directly to their Google Calendar. In this article, we’ll show you how to take advantage of this feature and save yourself time and hassle.
How Does it Work?
Facebook’s new feature will allow users to export their events to a file, which can then be imported into Google Calendar. This will save users the trouble of manually entering the details of each event into their calendar.
How to Export Your Facebook Events
To get started, log in to your Facebook account and go to the Events page. From there, click on the “Export” button at the bottom of the page. Facebook will then generate a file containing all of your upcoming events.
You can choose to export all of your events or select specific events to export. Once you’ve made your selection, click on the “Export” button again to download the file to your computer.
How to Import Your Facebook Events to Google Calendar
Now that you have the file containing your Facebook events, it’s time to import them into Google Calendar. Log in to your Google account and go to the Calendar page. From there, click on the “Settings” button and select “Import & Export.”
Click on the “Select file from your computer” button and choose the file you downloaded from Facebook. Once you’ve selected the file, click on the “Import” button to add your Facebook events to your Google Calendar.
FAQs:

Q: Will my Facebook events automatically update in my Google Calendar?
A: No, the export/import process is a one-time transfer of your Facebook events to Google Calendar. If you make changes to an event on Facebook, you’ll need to export the updated file and import it into Google Calendar again.
Q: Can I choose which Facebook events to sync to my Google Calendar?
A: Yes, when exporting your events from Facebook, you have the option to select which events you want to include in the file. This allows you to exclude any events that you don’t want to appear in your Google Calendar.
