Facebook

These are your credentials with the platform, not Postiz credentials.

The keys on this page belong to a developer app you register with the platform. Nobody from Postiz will ever ask for them.

Keep them in your environment or a secret manager, never in a committed .env file, and rotate them at the platform if they leak.

NOTE: Please be advised that Instagram and Facebook can use the same app (no need to create two separate apps)

Create a new app

Select a business portfolio, then create a new app in Facebook developers.

Set up Login with Facebook

Setup Login with Facebook

Configure redirect URI

Set up a redirect URI back to the application

step 6

The OAuth2 Redirect URI is the location where the provider will redirect to after a successful login. This needs to be set to your Postiz FRONTEND_URL + /integrations/social/ + {provider}.

You only need to set one OAuth2 Redirect URI when you are setting up your Postiz app.

Your Facebook OAuth2 Redirect URI:

Production: https://your-postiz-domain.com/integrations/social/facebook
Local development: http://localhost:4200/integrations/social/facebook
Docker: http://localhost:5000/integrations/social/facebook

Request advanced permissions

step 7

Go to advanced permission and request access for the following scopes:

pages_show_list
business_management
pages_manage_posts
pages_manage_engagement
pages_read_engagement
read_insights

If your Postiz install is for personal use only these advanced permissions are not required for Postiz to function.

Set app mode to Live

Change the App Mode from 'Development' to 'Live'. If you do not do this then posts made via the API will display for yourself but will not be visible for other users.

Copy your credentials

Keys

Go to basic permissions copy your App ID and App Secret and paste them in your .env file

FACEBOOK_APP_ID="app id"
FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET="app secret"

Facebook should now be working!
