Event listings have a different launch process than other types of listings. Since they only exist for a temporary period of time and are not synced with publishers long-term, the setup process is quicker.
This article will walk through the steps to push an event listing live:
- Link your publisher accounts
- Launch a single event or group of events
To take action on event listings after launch, see Manage Event Listings. To stop event listings from syncing or delete events, see Opt-Out or Delete Event Listings.
Link your publisher accounts
Some event publishers (including Facebook and Eventbrite) require a linked account in order to publish event listings. If you want to use these publishers, you should link your accounts first.
To manage your linked accounts:
- Click the Account Settings icon in the lower left corner of the navigation bar.
- Select the Linked Accounts tile.
- Follow these articles for steps to link your publisher accounts:
Launch events
To launch events:
- Navigate to Knowledge Graph > Entities in the navigation bar and select the Event entity/entities you want to launch.
- To launch a single event, click on the entity to open the Entity Edit view.
- To launch multiple events, select the checkbox next to all the entities you want to launch. Click the More Actions dropdown and select Edit.
- In the Entity Edit view, scroll down to the Licenses section on the right side of the entity.
- Click Assign More Licenses to assign an Event Listing license.
- You'll be brought to the Assign Licenses flow. Select the checkbox next to the Event Listings license pack, and click Continue at the bottom of the screen.
- Click Submit on the Summary page.
- After assigning your licenses, you can see your event listings start to populate on the Events page. Navigate to Listings > Events in the navigation bar to view them.
