Eventin Facebook is an add-on for the Eventin Pro plugin that integrates your WordPress event management system with Facebook. This integration enables you to promote, share, and manage events on Facebook directly from your WordPress site, improving the visibility and reach of your events. Eventin Facebook allows event organizers to sync event details, sell tickets, and attract attendees via the world's largest social network.
Key Features of Eventin Facebook:
- Facebook Event Syncing:
- Sync your WordPress events to Facebook: With Eventin Facebook, you can easily create events on your WordPress site and automatically sync them to your Facebook page or profile. This makes it easier to promote your events to your Facebook audience.
- Automatic Updates: If you make any changes to the event details (e.g., time, location, tickets), these changes are reflected on the corresponding Facebook event page in real time, ensuring your event information is always up to date.
- Facebook Ticket Sales:
- Sell tickets directly through Facebook: Eventin Facebook integrates with the WooCommerce ticketing system (via Eventin Pro) to allow you to sell tickets for your events directly from the Facebook event page.

- Event Sharing:
- Social media promotion: Attendees can share the event on their Facebook feed, encouraging others to attend and increasing the visibility of the event. This word-of-mouth promotion can help boost registrations and ticket sales.
- You can add social sharing buttons to your event pages, enabling visitors to share your event on Facebook and other social networks with just a click.
- Facebook Pixel Integration:
- Track conversions: Eventin Facebook allows integration with Facebook Pixel, which enables you to track actions (such as ticket purchases or registrations) on your event pages. This data can be used for retargeting ads or measuring the success of your event campaigns.
