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When your Open Graph image changes, social platforms can take a while to update it on their side, so you may see an outdated image.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

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

. Alternatively, wait 5-10 minutes and check the image again.

The social networks may store an old version of the image for your event. You can tell the social networks to use your new image.
