When you connect Facebook, you authorize Contouron using your personal Facebook login, but publishing is limited to Pages you have admin access to. You cannot use Contouron to post to your personal Facebook profile timeline. **One Contouron account per Facebook account.** You can connect multiple Facebook accounts to a single Contouron account. However, the same Facebook account cannot be connected to more than one Contouron account at the same time. Connect all of your Facebook Pages owned by the same Facebook user inside a single Contouron workspace. See Facebook Limitations. ### Connecting Facebook Pages When connecting Facebook, you will be asked to grant Contouron permission to connect with specific Facebook pages. Make sure you select the Pages you want to publish posts to. **Tips:** * Log into your correct Facebook account BEFORE connecting to Contouron * When you see the permissions popup: * select "Opt in to current Pages only" * select each Facebook Page individually * do NOT select the option "Opt in to all current and future Pages”
**If you've connected Facebook but don't see any pages in Contouron's dropdown menu when you publish, this could be due to several reasons:** * **Permissions:** Ensure that you've granted all necessary permissions to the app or service you're using. When connecting your Facebook account to a third-party service or tool, Facebook will ask for specific permissions to access your pages. If you didn't grant the required permissions, the app might not be able to retrieve your pages. * **​Page Roles:** Make sure you have the correct role on the page. Only admins or people with sufficient access will be able to see and manage pages. If you're an editor, advertiser, or analyst, some features or access may be limited. Follow these instructions to [check your page role](https://www.facebook.com/help/510247025775149). * **Multiple Accounts:** If you're managing multiple Facebook accounts or pages, double-check that you're logged into the correct account. You may be connected to Facebook with an account that doesn't have access to the pages you're looking for. * **Business Manager:** If your pages are managed via Facebook Business Manager, you might need to access them through Business Manager instead of your personal account. Business Manager centralizes management for larger organizations and might cause confusion if you're not accessing it through the right place. Sometimes Facebook API won't list all the pages you have access to. **Here's a workaround to try:**\ ​\ Reconnect Facebook account. When the Facebook popup appears, click the blue **"Edit Settings"** link (older Facebook versions label it **"Edit Previous Settings"**). This opens the page picker so you choose each Page individually instead of importing all of them. Then manually check off the pages you're trying to give access to. If you still don't see your Page in the list below, then it could be an issue with Page admin settings. If reconnecting keeps importing all your Pages and the **Edit Settings** link does not appear, remove the **Contouron** app under Meta Business Suite > Settings > Accounts > Apps, then reconnect fresh so the page picker shows again. **If you've tried connecting multiple times but it's still not working:** * **Access Meta Business Suite or Business Manager:** Log into your Facebook Business Manager or Meta Business Suite. * **Navigate to Settings:** Click on the "Settings" gear icon, usually found in the top right or left corner. * **Locate Accounts:** Look for the "Accounts" section within the settings. * **Click on Apps:** Click the "Apps" option within the Accounts section. * **View Connected Apps:** A list of apps connected to your business portfolio will be displayed. * **Remove** the Contouron app. This clears the cache so you can make a fresh connection. * Go to Contouron and try connecting Facebook again. * IMPORTANT! When you see the permissions popup: * select "Opt in to current Pages only" * select each Facebook Page individually * do NOT select the option "Opt in to all current and future Pages” --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.contouron.com/settings/social-accounts/facebook.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
