# Connect a Facebook Page and Configure Reels Publish Settings

> Link a Facebook Page to Hivra to post Reels, videos, and Stories — requires Page admin access, not a personal profile. Part of the Meta token family.

Hivra connects to Facebook through Meta's official authorization flow and publishes to Facebook Pages, not personal profiles. You must be an admin or editor of the Page you want to connect. Once linked, the Composer lets you publish Reels, video posts, and an optional Story companion with a per-post caption override.

## Prerequisites

Before you connect, confirm the following:

* You have an existing **Facebook Page** (not a personal Facebook profile).
* Your personal Facebook account has **Admin** or **Editor** role on that Page.
* You are logged into the correct Facebook account in your browser before starting the OAuth flow.

<Warning>
  Hivra cannot publish to personal Facebook profiles. If you do not have a Facebook Page, create one at facebook.com/pages/create before connecting.
</Warning>

## Connect your Facebook Page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    In Hivra, go to **Dashboard → Integrations** and find the **Facebook** tile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the redirect">
    Click **Connect** to start the authorization flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize in Facebook">
    You are redirected to Meta's authorization page. Accept all requested permissions and, when prompted, select the specific Page you want to connect to Hivra. Connecting a Page you do not administer will result in a permission error.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection card">
    After the redirect returns you to Hivra, your Page name and picture appear on the integration card. The health chip reads **Healthy** once the monitoring job confirms the token is valid.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Instagram, Facebook Pages, and Threads share the same Meta token family. Reconnecting your Facebook Page may also refresh the tokens for any connected Instagram or Threads account in the same workspace.
</Note>

## Facebook publish settings

When you add Facebook as a destination in the Composer, a settings panel appears with the following options.

### Story format

Enable **Also post to Story** to publish the same video as a Facebook Story alongside the main post. Like Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories expire after 24 hours. The original Reel or video post on your Page is not affected by the Story's expiration.

### Per-platform caption override

By default, the Composer's shared caption is used for all destinations. To write a different caption specifically for Facebook, click the Facebook tile in the **Customize Caption Per Platform** section and enter your Facebook-specific text. This caption appears as the post description on your Page and applies only to the Facebook post.

<Tip>
  Facebook captions support links, which can drive traffic from the post. If you include a URL in the Facebook-specific caption, confirm the link is valid before posting.
</Tip>

## Reconnect your Facebook Page

If the Facebook integration card in the dashboard overview shows **Attention**, your Meta token has expired or been revoked.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Go to **Dashboard → Integrations** and locate the Facebook card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Reconnect">
    Click **Reconnect** on the card to restart the OAuth flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Re-authorize in Facebook">
    Accept all permissions on Meta's authorization page and confirm the Page selection to issue a fresh token.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the health chip">
    Wait for the monitoring job to run. The chip should return to **Healthy** after the check runs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  If your Instagram or Threads accounts are also connected in the same workspace, check whether those cards also show **Attention** after reconnecting.
