How can I import Facebook events into my Google calendar?

Question

I get a lot of invitations via Facebook, but I keep track of my schedule with Google calendar. Is there any way to automatically import or sync my Facebook events to my Google calendar?

Answer 1

You can get an iCal link for your Upcoming Events (or Birthdays) that you can import into Google Calendar which will automatically stay up to date.

In Facebook:

1. Go to your Events.
2. On the left sidebar, click Calendar

3. Go to the lower right portion of the page, where you'll see a message with two links:

   

4. Save the URL for the Upcoming Events link. (This will vary by browser/OS, but is generally something like right-click and Copy link address)

The URL should be similar to:

webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/u.php?uid=999999999&key=AbCDEf12345AAcd-f

(Your actual uid and key values will be different, of course.)

In Google Calendar:

1. Scroll down and open the Other calendars menu (on the left)

   

2. Choose Add by URL

   

3. Paste the webcal URL in the URL space then Add Calendar

You should now have a calendar {Your Name}'s Facebook Events listed under Other Calendars and can change the color, details, etc. as needed.

With fdCal get your events and friend's birthdays in Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or in your RSS reader! The process can be done in less than a minute, and it's free!

3. Select "Copy link address" from the menu
4. Go your Google Calendar page, click on the gear/settings icon and select "Settings," click on "Add calendar" in the left nav menu and select "From URL" to end up here: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/settings/addbyurl

Answer 4

In Windows, if you use Chrome, you can register Google Calendar to open webcal: links automatically. Go to https://calendar.google.com, click on the two-diamonds icon next to the bookmark, choose to allow it to open webcal links, and this will open the Windows settings panel to confirm. Then you can click on the webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/u.php?uid=... link from your events page as above and it will automatically import into Google Calendar.

You may want to pass your feed through the http://eventbusyfix.info/ service first. This will allow the details of private events to be displayed.
