Article Summary

By connecting your Facebook, GRIN can automatically pull in your Facebook posts and engagement numbers to deliver to the brands you are collaborating with. GRIN uses first-party data to sync your content and metrics directly from Meta, ensuring the data your collaborating brands receive is secure, accurate, and collected with your permission.

Note
If you don't connect your Facebook account and your brand requests Facebook content and metrics, you'll need to manually upload and provide those stats for each post on your Live Site. Learn more with our help article Manually uploading content.

What you'll need

How to do it 

  1. Navigate to your Live Site > Networks and select Connect next to Facebook. 
  2. If you already connected your Facebook account on another Live Site, you’ll be prompted with different options to automatically connect the same account on your current Live Site. If you aren’t shown these options, skip this step and move on to Step 3.
    1. If you want to connect your account automatically and you only have one other Live Site to log in to, select Yes, auto connect. This will finish the connection process, and you can skip the rest of the steps in this article. 
    2. If you want to connect your account automatically and you have two or more Live Sites you can log in to, toggle on which brands' Live Sites you want to connect to, then select Yes, auto connect. This will finish the connection process, and you can skip the rest of the steps in this article.
    3. If you want to connect your account manually, select No, proceed to manually connect and continue to Step 3.
  3. If you’re not logged in already, log in to your Facebook account. This should be the same account that owns the Facebook Page that you connected to your Instagram account. 
  4. Select Continue as…

Note

When reviewing these permissions, make sure you allow all the permissions shown. The easiest way is to keep every option selected for all the Pages and accounts that appear. GRIN needs all of these permissions to connect to your account and share your posts with brands. We do not ask for permissions to post on your behalf or view your sensitive account information. Learn more about each permission with our article Connecting social networks FAQ.

  1. Select the Facebook Page you want to connect GRIN to.

  1. You have now completed the connection process! If you have other Live Sites, you’ll be prompted with options to automatically connect your Facebook to those Live Sites as well. If you aren't prompted with these options, then you can skip this step.
    1. If you want to connect your account automatically and you only have one other Live Site to log in to, select Yes, auto connect.
    2. If you want to connect your account automatically and you have two or more Live Sites you can log in to, toggle on which brands' Live Sites you want to connect to, then select Yes, auto connect.
    3. If you don’t want to connect your account to other Live Sites, select No, I’ll do this later.

Your Facebook account is now connected to GRIN, and your collaborating brand will automatically receive your Facebook posts and metrics. If you need more help connecting to Facebook, check out our GRIN Academy lessons.
