Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Facebook Business page?
Yes, Facebook API integration requires a Facebook Business page. You cannot post to personal Facebook profiles via API due to Facebook's restrictions. You must be an admin of the page to connect it.
How do I select which Facebook page to post to?
After connecting your Facebook account, use the page manager in your dashboard to select which page to post to. You can switch between pages or set a default page for your account.
What media types does Facebook support?
Facebook supports photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP), videos (MP4, MOV), and carousels with multiple images. Late automatically optimizes media for Facebook's requirements and handles different aspect ratios.
Can I schedule Facebook posts with other platforms?
Absolutely! Late's unified API lets you post to Facebook alongside 9 other platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest, Bluesky) in a single API call.
How do Facebook post permissions work?
Late requires specific permissions to post on your behalf: publish_to_groups, pages_manage_posts, and pages_read_engagement. These are granted during the OAuth connection process and can be revoked anytime in your Facebook settings.
