2. Connect to the Facebook account that you would like to use in Rivery.

• If nothing happens after clicking the “Connect to Facebook Social” button, it is likely because your browser has blocked the pop up :

  Common Issues

  Page issues

  If you come across this error: "(#100) Facebook Error Public Content Access to Pages", please use your internet browser's Incognito mode to access your Facebook Settings and navigate to the Pages and Profiles settings. If you are unable to access the settings, please clear all Facebook-related cookies and try again.

  Make sure to check the Select All box:

  

  Turn on any permissions that appear to be relevant to your metadata extraction. If possible, set all permissions to yes. Rivery does not request permissions that allow Rivery to change your pages or posts (for example, manage pages only allow reading access, whereas publish pages allow Rivery read/write access). As a result, set Manage your Pages to yes, which allows you to read page posts and page fields.

  

  If you have a Facebook connection in Rivery, you should now be able to see the pages.
  However, if you still don't see the pages you want to use, you can uninstall the Rivery app from Facebook.
  To view and manage the apps you've added, follow these steps:

  1. In the top right corner of Facebook, click your profile picture.
  2. Choose Settings & privacy, then Settings.
  3. From the left-hand menu, select Business Integrations.
  4. Locate the Rivery app and select Remove.
  5. Navigate to your Facebook Social Connection in Rivery, click Remove, then reauthenticate the connection and use the Test Connection function to see if it is up to the task. If the connection was successful, click Save and you're ready to go.

  Assign a Role in a Page

  The account you connect to Facebook in Rivery must have a proper Role in the corresponding Page you want to read from.
