How to connect Facebook

Link a Facebook Page so Orbin can publish posts and pull insights on your behalf.

Last updated

Orbin publishes to Facebook Pages (not personal profiles) using Facebook Login and the Graph API.

Before you start

  • You need to be an admin of the Facebook Page you want to connect.
  • Make sure you're logged into the correct Facebook account in your browser.

Steps

  1. Go to Social Accounts in the sidebar.
  2. Click Connect Account and choose Facebook.
  3. A Facebook window opens — log in and grant Orbin the requested permissions. These let Orbin publish posts and read Page insights.
  4. Select the Page you want to manage. If you manage several, you can connect more than one.
  5. You're done — the Page appears in your accounts list with a green Connected badge.

Permissions we request

  • pages_manage_posts — to publish and schedule posts.
  • pages_read_engagement — to pull likes, comments, and reach for analytics.

We only ever request what's needed to run the features you use.

Troubleshooting

  • "No Pages found" — you're either not an admin of any Page, or you connected a personal profile. Reconnect and pick a Page.
  • Posts fail to publish — the access token may have expired. Open the account and click Reconnect.
