Social Images

​Luma makes sure that your events and home page look great on social media. We generate a beautiful preview image or use your custom image.

​I’m seeing an old image when I share my link

​The Open Graph image is what people see when they share your event on social media or other websites. When creating a Luma event, you can choose a custom image, or Luma will generate one for you with the details of your event.

​When your Open Graph image changes, social platforms can take a while to update it on their side, so you may see an outdated image.

​On some platforms, you can speed up the process by telling the platform to refresh their cache and grab the new image.

​Here’s how to refresh the Open Graph image for your event:

​Facebook

1. ​Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.

2. ​Paste your event URL into the "Sharing Debugger" field and click "Debug”.

​Telegram

1. ​Add the official Telegram bot @Webpagebot

2. ​Send an /updatepreview command to the bot with your event URL.

​LinkedIn

1. ​Go to https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/.

2. ​Paste your event URL into the URL field and click “Inspect”.

​Twitter, Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, or any other social platform

​Add ?v=1 to the end of your event URL, so lu.ma/mycoolevent will become lu.ma/mycoolevent?v=1. Alternatively, wait 5-10 minutes and check the image again.
