Share your Events and Blogs on Facebook
You can now easily share your events on your church’s Facebook page, straight from your ChurchDesk Calendar. With a single click, you can share your event now – reaching out beyond your church community. You can also choose to schedule the post for a later date – ChurchDesk will then post it automatically at the right time.
You can already schedule an event for Facebook when you’re creating it. If you’re more comfortable setting up the event first, to check that everything looks good, you can always share it later.
Navigate to ChurchDesk Settings.
