What you get & what it costs

BrandOps9 publishes posts (text + image) to a Facebook Page you administer. Posts go to a Page, not a personal profile.

Meta's API is free. Connecting as your own Page's admin needs no paid plan; Meta App Review is only required later if you want to post on behalf of other people's Pages.

Before you start

• A Facebook Page you administer.
• A Meta developer account (developers.facebook.com runs a quick one-time registration the first time).
• To test now: connect as the Page's own admin while the app is in Development mode; no App Review needed.

Connect it, step by step

In BrandOps9 go to Setup → Connections → Facebook, then:

• Open developers.facebook.com → "My Apps" and finish the one-time developer registration if prompted.
• Click "Create app", choose "Other" → app type "Business", name it and create it.
• Add the "Facebook Login for Business" product ("Set up").
• In Facebook Login for Business → Settings, paste the BrandOps9 redirect URL into "Valid OAuth Redirect URIs" and save.
• Open App settings → Basic, copy the App ID and App Secret into BrandOps9, then Connect and keep every Page permission checked.

Stay within the rules (avoid getting blocked)

• Follow Meta's Community Standards and avoid engagement-bait ("like & share to win"); Meta down-ranks and can restrict it.
• Don't post the exact same content repeatedly; vary it per post (BrandOps9's per-platform tweaking already does this).
• Only post images you have the rights to use.
• Keep image publishing working by making sure BrandOps9 is reachable at a public https address (your admin sets APP_BASE_URL).
