Organizer guide: Publishing your Showpass event to Facebook

Showpass makes it easy to publish your events directly to your Facebook page. This guide walks you through how to integrate your Showpass event with Facebook, either by creating a new event or linking to an existing one.

Before you start

You must be an Admin on your Facebook page in order to use this feature. If you are not an admin, you will not be able to complete the publishing steps.

How to publish your event to Facebook

  • Create your event in Showpass.
  • Navigate to the Manage Events page from your dashboard pop-out menu.
  • Select the event you want to publish, then click Facebook Integration.

Once your event is published:

  • Select View all profiles.

Troubleshooting

I don't see the Facebook Integration button.
Make sure your event has a full address, as this is required for Facebook integration.

I'm not seeing the Facebook page I want to publish to.
Verify that you are an Admin of the page. Editors or other roles cannot publish events.

I rejected Facebook permissions earlier.
You will need to revisit your Facebook settings and reauthorize Showpass. Manage app permissions here.

Can I do this on the Basic plan?
Facebook event integration is only available to accounts on Standard plans and above. Contact us to upgrade your plan if needed.
