Introduction to Integration Issues
If you're encountering problems with your Facebook or Instagram integration in Brand24, you're not alone. These issues often arise from changes made to the APIs by Facebook and Instagram, which are beyond our control. Such changes can disrupt how Brand24 interacts with your social media accounts, leading to integration difficulties.
Identifying Integration Problems
You may notice that something is wrong if your Brand24 projects stop updating with new mentions from Facebook or Instagram or if you see error messages related to data fetching. These signs often point to an issue with the integration setup on your account.
Reasons for failed integration
'Connect Facebook/Instagram' button doesn't work
Issues can arise when integrating Facebook with Brand24, such as the 'Connect' button not working, often due to browser settings, machine-specific restrictions, or network blocks.
SolutionThis requires ensuring no ad blockers or strict privacy settings are interfering and checking with your IT department to confirm that network policies aren't blocking Facebook functionalities.
Reconnecting the Brand24 account is necessary
When integrating Facebook with Brand24, you might encounter certain issues that stem primarily from changes made by Facebook itself or from operational glitches.
Sometimes, Facebook updates its API or adjusts its privacy policies, which can disrupt existing integrations and require reconfiguration on your part.
Facebook may also require you to change your password or login again.
