How to Import Facebook Events Into Cozi

  • Go to your Facebook page
  • Click Home to get to your Home page
  • Click Events (on the left)
  • When you are in the main events screen click the star icon in the upper right hand corner on the white part of the page by “Today”
  • A message will pop up with dialogue that gives you the option to export events or birthdays
  • Click export events or upcoming events and a dialogue will pop up asking if you would like to “Add the internet calendar…” and a URL will be listed in the middle of the message. (Sidenote: you may get a second popup that says “External Protocol Request.” You must click “launch application” on that popup for this to work properly.)
  • Copy the URL in the pop up message
  • Now open Cozi, and click Calendar
  • Click Set up (in the task bar at the top)
  • Click Activity Schedules/Internet Calendars
