Aside from generally populating your event information and making sure the event is live/public in Cvent, two fields are required to ensure your Cvent event shows up in the college calendar correctly.

The Salesforce integration must be enabled and set correctly.

  1. Visit Integrations and choose Salesforce
  2. Select 'Yes' under "Sync this event to the Cvent Salesforce App"
  3. In the Configuration dropdown choose "JCB Connection"
  4. In the Salesforce OAuth configuration dropdown choose "Salesforce OAuth"

The event planner "Company" field must be populated with the exact text string expected by Livewhale.

In the Event Information screen, under Event Planner, fill in the Company field with a standard, consistent text string. This could be "CIDER," "CREF," "Smith Family Business," "The Statler Hotel," or any other department or program name, but it must be exactly the same every time, and it must be what Livewhale was setup to expect.

If this field is blank or populated inconsistently the event may still show up on Livewhale (assuming the Salesforce integration is activated properly), but it will not be identified as belonging to your specific unit, and will likely not show up on your WordPress pages. This is true even if you put your unit name in the event title or the event description. The “Company” field is the key to getting the event routed to your pages.
