Managing Facebook Pages

Managing Facebook Pages with Homesync

Facebook business pages are a powerful way to market your brand and connect with your audience. By integrating your Facebook business page with Homesync, you can efficiently manage publishing, view analytics, and reply to comments—all from one place.

Authentication and Permissions

When authenticated, Facebook provides Homesync with “Scoped Permissions” for each resource you’ve allowed. This granular control ensures that you have the necessary permissions to manage your Facebook pages through Homesync. During the authentication process, Homesync requests the minimum required permissions to ensure full functionality. You can also limit which pages and Instagram accounts are visible from your Homesync profile.

Currently, Homesync requires the following permissions for full functionality:

Show a list of the Pages you manage
Access your Page and App insights
Access leads for your Pages
Read content posted on the Page
Manage accounts, settings, and webhooks for a Page
Read user content on your Page
Create and manage ads for your Page
Create and manage content on your Page
Access profile and posts from the Instagram account connected to your Page
Upload media and create posts for the Instagram account connected to your Page
Manage comments for the Instagram account connected to your Page
Access insights for the Instagram account connected to your Page

In the event these permissions change, Homesync may stop functioning correctly.

Managing a Page

Within your Homesync business profile, you can see a list of available and managed pages by clicking “Facebook Pages” in your navigation bar. If you have profile permissions to “Manage Social Networks” and your profile has not reached its subscription limit of Facebook pages, you can start managing a page by clicking the “+” next to the desired Facebook page.

Once a page has been designated as “managed,” it will have a green checkmark next to it in the list of available pages.

Removing a Page from Homesync

If you no longer wish to manage a page via Homesync, you can remove it by following these steps:

Open the page.
Go to the “Settings” tab.
Remove the page.

Removing a page from Homesync does not affect the status or the previously published posts already on Facebook.

Troubleshooting

If your Facebook page is not working or you are unable to add a Facebook page to your business profile, try the following:

Reauthenticate with Facebook: Ensure you have allowed all the required permissions. Click “Edit Settings” in the initial Facebook authentication pop-up and allow all requested permissions.
Check Facebook API Status: Ensure that the Facebook API platform is up and running. This is separate from the regular Facebook app or Facebook.com. You can check the API status at https://metastatus.com/
Check Homesync Account Limits: Confirm with your Homesync account administrator that you have not reached the maximum number of Facebook pages being managed by your account.

By integrating your Facebook business pages with Homesync, you can simplify your social media management, ensuring that your marketing efforts are both effective and efficient.
