Google Calendar event import; image not becoming featured image

LiveWhale
1

Hey folks,

We have someone at our university who is importing events into LiveWhale through a Google Calendar feed. Their events in Google have images associated with them, and they want those images to become the featured image when they’re imported. Is there a way to do that automatically without manually changing the featured image for each imported event?

Hi Rob,

Thanks – we currently only support importing ICAL event images using the ATTACH: syntax (more about supported ICAL fields here).

If you have an example feed/syntax you want us to check out, we can always consider adding more supported fields to our ICAL importer. I haven’t personally seen images in Google Calendar feeds (not sure how they come through in the Google-supplied ICAL, if at all), so it’s also possible sharing steps-to-reproduce could be useful as we look at things to consider for our roadmap. Thanks!
