Add Pi Events D1

Add or update PI events in the Cloudflare D1 mb-events database using parsed details, ISO 8601 dates, and SQL insert commands executed remotely.

SKILL: Add PI Events to Cloudflare D1

Trigger

Use this skill when Alex says:

• "Add an event to the site"
• "Add this event to D1"
• "Update PI events"
• "Add [event name] on [date] to babenchuk.com"
• Sends a CSV or list of events to add

---

Context

• Database: mb-events (Cloudflare D1)
• Env vars: load from ~/.env/.env — use $CF_API_TOKEN, $CF_ACCOUNT_ID, $CF_ZONE_BABENCHUK_COM
• Repo: /Users/viki/Projects/projects/marketing-bull/babenchuk-com/
• Live site: https://babenchuk.com/#events

Schema

sql

CREATE TABLE events (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  name TEXT NOT NULL,
  address TEXT,
  date_start TEXT,        -- ISO format: "2026-06-06T08:00:00" or "2026-06-06"
  date_end TEXT,          -- ISO format or NULL
  location TEXT,          -- venue name/description
  rsvp_contact TEXT,      -- phone/email to RSVP
  rsvp_to TEXT,           -- person/org name to RSVP to
  register_url TEXT,      -- registration/info URL
  tags TEXT,              -- comma-separated: "PI,networking,Miller"
  created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
);

Steps

1. Load credentials

bash

source ~/.env/.env
# Provides: $CF_API_TOKEN, $CF_ACCOUNT_ID

2. Build the INSERT SQL

Parse the event data Alex provides. Convert dates to ISO 8601:

• "March 14, 2026 6:00 PM (EDT)" → 2026-03-14T18:00:00
• "June 6, 2026" → 2026-06-06
• Date ranges: set date_start + date_end

Escape single quotes in text fields by doubling them: O'Brien → O''Brien

sql

INSERT INTO events (name, address, date_start, date_end, location, rsvp_contact, rsvp_to, register_url, tags)
VALUES ('Event Name', NULL, '2026-06-06T08:00:00', '2026-06-06T18:00:00', 'Venue, City FL', '[e-mail]', 'Organizer Name', 'https://register-url.com', 'PI,conference');

3. Execute against D1 (remote)

bash

source ~/.env/.env
cd /Users/viki/Projects/projects/marketing-bull/babenchuk-com

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" \
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote \
  --command "INSERT INTO events (name, address, date_start, date_end, location, rsvp_contact, rsvp_to, register_url, tags) VALUES ('...', ...);"

For multiple events at once, use a SQL file:

bash

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" \
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote --file=/tmp/new-events.sql

4. Verify insertion

bash

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" \
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote \
  --command "SELECT id, name, date_start FROM events ORDER BY date_start DESC LIMIT 5;"

Or hit the live API:

bash

curl -s "https://babenchuk-com.pages.dev/api/events?all=true" | jq '[.events[] | {id, name, date: .date}]'

5. No redeploy needed

D1 is a live database. Events appear on the site immediately — no wrangler deploy required.

Useful Queries

List all upcoming events:

bash

source ~/.env/.env
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote --command "SELECT id, name, date_start FROM events WHERE date_start >= date('now') ORDER BY date_start ASC;"

Delete an event by ID:

bash

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote --command "DELETE FROM events WHERE id = 42;"

Update an event:

bash

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="$CF_API_TOKEN" CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="$CF_ACCOUNT_ID" \
npx wrangler d1 execute mb-events --remote --command "UPDATE events SET register_url = 'https://new-url.com' WHERE id = 42;"

Bulk insert from CSV: Convert CSV to SQL INSERTs manually or ask Viki to parse and generate the SQL.

Tag Conventions

Use consistent comma-separated tags (no spaces after commas):

• PI — general PI networking
• Miller — Andrew Miller events
• PT Now — PT Now events
• conference — multi-day summits
• attorney — attorney-focused
• medical — medical professional events
• bar association — FL bar events
• networking — general networking
• MRI — MRI/imaging provider events
• CLE — continuing legal education

Notes

• date_start and date_end must be ISO 8601 strings — the frontend parses them with new Date()
• NULL is fine for optional fields (address, location, rsvp_contact, rsvp_to, register_url)
• Tags field is plain text — frontend splits on commas
• No redeploy needed after DB changes — site fetches live from D1 on every page load
