Use feeds to manage events

When you want to see your Groups or Registration events in Calendar, it's helpful only to create those events once. Use feeds to automate this process by syncing your Groups or Registrations events into Calendar.

Important

Only organization administrators can add, edit, or remove feeds in Calendar.

You can adjust the filters on your Events page to hide or display events from a specific product feed or a group type.

Set up your feed

1. Choose Events from the top navigation bar in Calendar.

2. Select the ⚙️ gear icon in the top right.

3. Choose either Add Groups feeds or Add Registrations feed from the menu options.

Add Groups feeds

1. After selecting Add Groups feeds, review the informational box telling you what to expect, and then select Continue.

2. Select Enable next to the group types you want to use for the feed.

   

3. Adjust the default settings for each group type's feed events.

   • Event owner: Select an event owner for all feed events created from this group type.

   • Church Center availability: Choose whether this group type's feed events will be Published or Unpublished in Church Center.

   • Tags: Choose tags to apply to each group type's feed events automatically.

4. Select Add Groups feeds to complete the process.

Add Registrations feed

1. After selecting Add Registrations feed, adjust the default settings for your Registrations feed events in the popup.

2. Select an event owner for all Registrations feed events.

3. Choose tags to apply to these events automatically.

4. If campus tags are enabled, you can toggle the Sync campus tags from Registrations setting. This automatically applies campus tags based on the Registrations event information to your feed events.

5. Select Add feed to complete the process.

Manage feeds

You can manage your feed settings at any time!

1. Choose Events from the top navigation bar in Calendar.

2. Select the ⚙️ gear icon in the top right.

3. Choose either Manage Groups feeds or Manage Registrations feed from the dropdown.

4. Make updates to your feeds. Refer to the table below to see what you can manage for each feed type:

   Feed type	What can I manage?
   Groups	Enable or disable the feed Change the event owner Determine Church Center availability Add or manage tags for the group type
   Registrations	Change the event owner Add or manage tags Delete the feed Toggle the Sync campus tags from Registrations setting on or off Notice Turning off the Sync campus tags setting after previously enabling it does not remove campus tags from existing events. However, campus tags are no longer automatically applied to future events created from the feed.

5. Once you've made your changes, don't forget to select Save at the bottom to apply your changes!

Remove feeds

You can remove feeds in the same place you manage them. The removal process looks different for Groups and Registrations feeds.

Remove Groups feeds

With Groups feeds, you can choose to either disable specific group types while maintaining others or remove them all.
