How the Discover Feed Works
Seeker Events Network | All Plans
This article describes the Discover Feed - your aggregated view of all available events. What is it, how it works and how you can customize it to save time.
The Discover Feed is the heart of Seeker Events Network. It’s where events from all your connected sources appear for your review before anything goes live on your calendar. Think of it as your inbox for events — you decide what makes it to your calendar, what gets archived, and what you never want to see again.
How Events Get Into the Feed
When you come on board with Seeker, you provide a list of sources — websites, Facebook pages, ticketing platforms, and any other places your community posts events. Seeker builds AI-powered crawlers against every source on your list.
Here’s what happens before an event reaches your Discover Feed:
- AI crawling. Seeker’s crawler visits each source on a regular schedule and extracts event title, date, time, location, description, images, and ticketing links.
- Data enrichment. The raw event data is cleaned, structured, and deduplicated. Seeker cross-references its own venue database to fill in missing location details.
- AI quality check. A second layer of AI reviews the output against the source page to confirm accuracy.
- Human review (for new sources). Every new source is reviewed by Seeker’s curation team before it starts feeding events into your dashboard.
By the time an event appears in your Discover Feed, it has already been through multiple layers of quality control.
What You Can Do With Events in the Feed
For each event in the Discover Feed, you have four options:
Import — adds the event to your published calendar immediately. You can edit it before or after importing.
Archive — removes the event from your feed without publishing it. Use this for one-off events you don’t want but don’t need to permanently block.
Blacklist — permanently removes all events from a specific venue or organizer from your feed. Blacklisted venues and organizers won’t appear again.
Whitelist — marks a source as trusted so its events are imported to your calendar automatically, without needing weekly review.
The Weekly Workflow
Most organizations settle into a rhythm of reviewing the Discover Feed once a week. A well-curated feed takes around 30 minutes to process.
- Week 1-2: Large feed, lots of events. Spend time blacklisting venues and organizers you’ll never want. The more you blacklist upfront, the tighter your feed gets.
- Week 3+: Feed is significantly smaller and more relevant. Weekly review becomes quick and routine.
What Shows Up by Default
In addition to your custom sources, Seeker automatically connects to major public event platforms including Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, Bands in Town, and Facebook. These come standard — you don’t need to submit them as sources.
A Note on Recurring Events
Seeker handles recurring events as a single record, not as individual occurrences. A weekly trivia night running every Thursday for six months counts as one event in your calendar, not 26. This keeps your active event count accurate and your calendar uncluttered.
