How Recurring Events Are Handled on API – Yodel

Yodel's technology has the ability to bring in recurring events and provide those events to clients via our API export. To allow full flexibility, we pass recurring rules through using the standard "rrule" format.

You can choose to use the recurring rule or choose not to use it at all as we also send each occurrence of the event.

Example below:
