Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
The Meta connector lets the CMO publish to a Facebook Page and an Instagram business account through the Graph API and read back post-level engagement to score what works. Instagram publishing uses Meta’s container flow: the connector creates the media container, polls it to readiness, then publishes — including multi-image carousels. Every post runs through the same pipeline as other channels: brand-voice match, the Quality Gate, and per-channel scheduling.
Two narrower connectors, Facebook and Instagram, are also listed in Settings for tenants that only want one surface or need the stricter stage-then-publish tools; they take the same Page token and Page / Instagram account IDs.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Plan: any plan. Counts as one integration toward your plan’s quota.
- A Facebook Page you administer and, for Instagram tools, an
Instagram business or creator account linked to that Page. You need
both numeric IDs: the Page ID (Page → About → Page transparency)
and the Instagram business account ID (Graph API Explorer:
/{page-id}?fields=instagram_business_account). - A Page access token from a Meta developer app with these permissions:
pages_manage_posts,pages_read_engagement,pages_show_list,instagram_business_content_publish,instagram_business_manage_insights. Generate a long-lived user token in Graph API Explorer, then request/{page-id}?fields=access_tokento get the Page token. - The token you paste is used as-is against Graph API v21.0. Page tokens
derived from a long-lived user token do not expire on their own, but they
are invalidated if you change your password or remove the app; the
connector then reports
errorand you paste a new token via Reconnect.
Connect
Section titled “Connect”- Open Settings → Connectors and click + on Meta.
- Paste the token into Provider access token, and enter the numeric Facebook Page ID and Instagram business account ID.
- Click Verify and connect. The platform calls
GET /mewith the token; if Meta rejects it, nothing is saved. - Meta appears under Connected.

lower autonomy levels posts wait in your approval queue. A Graph API 429
puts the connector into rate_limited until the next successful call.
Disconnect
Section titled “Disconnect”Click the trash icon on the Meta row and confirm; the token is revoked from the vault. To revoke on Meta’s side, remove the app under Settings → Business integrations on Facebook.
