Connect Facebook

Link the Facebook Pages you manage so Velisto can publish to them on schedule.

Last updated

Before you start

Velisto publishes to Facebook Pages — the public business presence you manage — not to personal timelines (Facebook doesn't allow tools to post there). If you don't have a Page yet, create one free at facebook.com/pages/create; most agents run one under their own name or team brand.

You'll need to be an admin (or have posting access) on the Page you want to connect.

Connect it

  1. Open Workspace settings → Social profiles and click Add profile.
  2. If the Page is already connected to your Velisto account, it's listed under From your account — click Add.
  3. Otherwise choose Facebook. You'll be sent to Facebook to log in and approve access for the Pages you manage.
  4. Velisto lists every Page you have access to — including Pages held in a Business Manager. Choose which to connect.
  5. Back in Velisto, the Page is active in this workspace and ready to schedule to.
The Add a social profile modal — Facebook connects Pages you manage
Choose Facebook to connect the Pages you manage.
Tip:

Manage several Pages? Connect them all in one pass, then activate each one only in the workspace where it belongs.

Troubleshooting

  • A Page you manage isn't listed — during the Facebook approval screen, make sure you granted access to all Pages (or at least the one you need). Reconnect and check the selection.
  • Needs reconnect badge — access tokens expire from time to time; click the profile and reconnect.
  • Posts fail on one Page only — confirm your role on that Page still allows publishing; roles changed by another admin are the usual cause.
