Event data submitted to your site will be blended with Evvnt data and published - we prioritise your events data over third party backfill and ensure your premium customers get the most prominent positions.
Our data model is like a pint of Guinness - we put your data, the cream to the top and the backfill sits below to ensure we deliver your User Generated Content first (UGC) then support any gaps with api integrations with the market leaders for events data.
You can also add backfill events from other sources.
Setting up a backfill of events data from one of our integration partners allows you to fill your events calendar with events that are relevant to your focus area. This is a great tactic when you are just getting your events calendar off the ground and do not have a lot of event listings.
How events will appear
Currently, our calendars show backfill events without an image. This may change in the future but this is currently expected behavior that cannot be adjusted per calendar at this time.
