# Facebook Pages

> Connect a Facebook Page to Ocoya, what you can post, and the limits Facebook applies.

Ocoya publishes to Facebook **Pages**. Personal Facebook profiles cannot be connected — Facebook does not allow any scheduling tool to post to them.

## Before you start

You need an **admin** role on the Page you want to connect. If someone else created the Page, ask them to make you an admin first, in **Page settings → Page access**.

## Connect a Facebook Page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Channels">
    Select **Channels** in the left sidebar, then **Connect channel**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Facebook Page">
    Pick **Facebook Page** from the **Add a connection** panel.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve every permission and tick every Page">
    Facebook shows a list of Pages with none pre-selected, and a separate permissions screen. **Tick the Page you want and approve every permission.** Missing either is the most common reason a Page doesn't appear afterwards.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the Page">
    Choose the Page to add. It appears on your Channels page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Posting to a Facebook Group

Ocoya connects Pages, not Groups directly. To post to a Group, make your Page an admin of that Group in the Group's settings, then post as the Page.

## Common problems

**"My Page isn't in the list."** You're not an admin of it, you didn't tick it on Facebook's selection screen, or you signed in with the wrong Facebook account. Check in that order.

**"Facebook keeps disconnecting."** Facebook expires access more aggressively than most networks, especially after a password change. See [Reconnect a channel](/help/reconnect-a-channel).

**"My post says Published by Ocoya."** Facebook attributes posts to the tool that made them. This can't be turned off through the API.
