The Events Module
The Events module is tied into Facebook's events system. When you put an Events module on your Content & Apps View and import an event, all the information for that event will display on your module. Users can also click through to RSVP to the event, and see all guests for the event.
Adding an Events Module to a Content & Apps View
All modules are added to a View in the same way with our drag-and-drop interface. To get more information on this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.
Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or add content. Back on the View layout, you'll see a callout bubble next to your module - click the triangle for controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.
Adding an Event in the Module
When you drag-and-drop an Events module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. To add an event to a module you've already created:
Next to your Events module you’ll see a callout bubble. Click the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
Importing Events
To add events to display on your module, click the Import Event button on the edit page. A modal will open letting you paste in the Event ID from Facebook. The Event ID is the series of numbers on the URL for the event. Paste the Event ID into the provided box, and the module will populate with the details of your event.
