Facebook Setup

Set up Facebook Pages API integration for managing pages, posts, and engagement through Fp Switchboard.

Prerequisites

• Facebook account with admin access to at least one Facebook Page
• Access to Meta for Developers

Setup Steps

1. Create a Meta App

   Go to developers.facebook.com and create a new app. Select “Business” type.

2. Add Facebook Login

   In your app dashboard, click “Add Product” and select “Facebook Login”.

3. Add Redirect URI

   Under Facebook Login > Settings, add:

   https://api.switchboard.fpdigital.ai/oauth/facebook/callback

4. Request Permissions

   Add the required permissions:

   • email
   • public_profile
   • pages_show_list
   • pages_manage_posts
   • pages_read_engagement

5. Copy Credentials

   From Settings > Basic, copy the App ID and App Secret.

Environment Variables

npx wrangler secret put FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID
npx wrangler secret put FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET

Redirect URI

https://api.switchboard.fpdigital.ai/oauth/facebook/callback

Common Issues

• App Review required: Facebook permissions beyond basic profile require app review for production use.
• Page tokens vs User tokens: Facebook uses separate tokens for page management. Switchboard handles the token exchange automatically.
• Rate limits: Facebook Graph API has rate limits that vary by endpoint. Heavy usage may trigger temporary throttling.

Testing

1. Connect from the Switchboard Dashboard
2. Authorize with your Facebook account
3. Select the pages you want to manage
4. Click Test Connection to verify
5. Try: “List my Facebook pages” or “Show recent posts”
