Written by Katariina

Key Features

  • Follow posts from your company Facebook Page

  • Supports text, images, and auto-play video

  • Choose how many of the latest posts to display

  • Secure Facebook OAuth2 authentication

Only main posts from the Facebook Page are shown. Comments and replies are not displayed


Prerequisites

  • An active Facebook Page (not a personal profile) managed through Meta Business Suite or Meta Business Manager

  • Admin permissions to manage the Facebook Page in Meta Business Suite — required for authentication


Finding Your System User in Meta Business Suite

  1. Go to business.facebook.com to Open Meta Business Suite

    Open Meta Business suite - home page

  2. Click Settings

  3. Go to Users → System User

    The Meta Business Suite - System users page

The System User admin must perform the authentication. Using a non-admin account will prevent your Facebook Page from appearing in the Valotalive app settings.


Activating the Facebook App

Go to the Valotalive Dashboard and activate the Facebook App from its icon.
