Import data with DataGrab using xml file
My Client is using Low Events and DataGrab add-on. He want to input data with DataGrab to channel, but there is problem with field from Low Events. DataGrab is using only one field for import, and Low Events 4 fields (date start, time start, time end, date end). Can I use one string in DataGrab to import complete dates and times for Low Events? If yes what format it will be? Or I must write my own import script?
Low Event Field http://screencast.com/t/HgOdtXybH ( 4 fields )
DataGrab Field http://screencast.com/t/EMCAPuewV ( 1 field )

I was looking database and I did found string {"start_date":"2013-08-25","start_time":"10:00","end_time":"14:00","end_date":"2013-08-25","all_day":"n"}
I did use it and it worked.

That would only partially work. Low Events also has its own database table to keep track of event dates. That needs to be populated as well. I think it's something DataGrab should do, unless it offers some sort of API.

Yes, Low Events have his own table and it is also populated automatically.

Ah okay, then it looks like DataGrab has LE compatibility. Nice.
