Mass upload events through a spreadsheet

I need to upload around 115 “events” to my Event Calendar widget. It includes pasting event title, creating host, changing colors, uploading YouTube link, etc etc etc.

It would be fantastic if I could just upload a CSV/XLS file with all the information.

It would be great to be able to import events via csv. This would save an immense amount of time and effort!

@user3253 agree, it would be a great addition to the Event Calendar!

I’m afraid I cannot promise fast development, but we’ll really to consider an import feature in the future.

Thanks a lot for helping us!

Now that I have found that it is possible to get Facebook events locally and get them into a CSV, the thought of then being able to get them into something that also looks nice, Elfsight, now that is really appealing. This would be a game changer for what we offer to our website visitors.

Thank you very much for the info, @Phil!

I really hope we’ll give this feature a go, at least I’ve reminded our devs about it :slight_smile:

This feature would be very important for sure! Also to download our list into an excel format.

@Maureen Thanks for pointing us in this direction!

Hope the devs will be able to consider this feature, and I’ll make sure to update you here once we have any news :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi,
I have exactly the same need because I have 150 events to load.
Don’t you have any solution if we send you a file ?
Can’t you load the data in the database ?
I hope you’ll have a solution because we will have more than 50 events each week.
Thanks

@CrocTonPlaisir I am really sorry, but there is no way to upload events via CSV for now.

We do realize how important this feature can be, especially for users handling a huge number of events.

We’ll try to consider this opportunity in the future, and I’ll make sure to update you here in case of any news :slightly_smiling_face:

I have 80+ events to manually import and this tool has no csv upload functionally after 4 years of asking. Which competitors should I choose that does have a basic csv upload functionally?

Hello there, @Jed :wave:

We don’t talk about competitors here, but your thoughts are super helpful. We’ll have this idea in mind and try to consider it in the future updates.

Many thanks for sharing your feedback us :slightly_smiling_face:

I also need this feature

Adding a bump to this because I run a community calendar, and this would save me tens of hours each month importing events from all the various places. How can we get this accelerated in the dev system? So many messages of “we will consider this” for over 2 years now but nothing is happening.

Hi there, @Frisco_Women :wave:

Thank you so much for upvoting this request – we really appreciate your support!

To give you a bit more insight, we prioritize feature requests based on two main factors: complexity and the number of votes.

Right now, we have a bunch of requests with higher priority and our devs are focused on them. You can keep track of any new developments by checking our Changelog or dedicated threads on the Wishlist.

Although this feature isn’t currently on our roadmap, we see its potential value and certainly aren’t dismissing it. At this point, however, it’s challenging to give any predictions.

Let’s hope the devs will be able to include it into one of the future updates. I’ll promptly inform you here if anything changes :slightly_smiling_face:

I would also like the option that we can export our list into excel format.
