This article will help you understand how to connect and use Facebook on Oviond.
In order to pull Facebook Page data on Oviond, you will need to have an Admin role on the Page under your Facebook profile.
You are able to check your Page Role by following these steps:
Log into your Facebook account under a new browser tab.
Under your shortcuts, select the page you would like to check access for.
On the left menu bar, select Settings.
4. Scroll down until you find the option named Page Roles.
All the users that have been granted access to the page should be listed under this section, as well as their permission levels.
To ensure a page pulls through to Oviond, your email address associated with your Facebook profile needs to have Admin access to the page (full account access).
If you can see your page does not have the appropriate permission for Oviond, contact the owner of the page to assign you an Admin Role.
Once you have been granted the right access to the page, it is advised to refresh the integration before attempting to reconnect Facebook to the client. You can refresh the integration under Data Sources in the Project Workspace Editor.
Connecting Facebook to Oviond
In order to connect your Facebook account to Oviond, you will need to know the login details to the Facebook account associated with the Account. All the Pages managed on this Facebook Account will be accessible for you to use on Oviond once this authentication has been made.
Make sure you are logged out of Facebook.
Open Oviond and navigate to the client you want to connect Facebook to
Select Project or Start a New Project.

If starting a new project, it will automatically open in the Workspace Editor.
Access the Project Workspace Editor.
Click 'Edit' to access the Project Workspace Editor if you are working on an existing project.
In the action sidebar menu on the right, select Data Sources.
Select Facebook.
Create a profile and name it to help identify this data connection.
A pop-up authentication window will appear. You will be prompted to log in via Facebook using your email and password. Make sure you accept all permissions when doing so.
Go through all the steps in the pop-up.
Select the Facebook Account you would like to connect to and click 'Save'.
You will need to have an Admin Page Role with your Facebook profile in order to connect Facebook on Oviond.
Metric limitations as per the Facebook API:
Most metrics will update once every 24 hours (this could cause the data to be slightly off).
Unique impression insights values are calculated independently: Total page reach may not always be exactly equal to the sum of paid and non-paid unique values / Total page reach may not always be exactly equal to the sum of viral_unique and organic_unique.
Page Insights data is only available on Pages with 100 or more likes.
Demographic metrics, such as age, gender, and location, are only returned if there is data for 100 or more people.
Breakdown metrics for Page post and Page view insights will only return non-zero values.
Several video-related metrics only return accurate values if the person requesting the metric is the Page video post creator. If you reshare a video post of another Page and retrieve its insights, the metrics return a value of 0. Metrics that return 0 for resharers are denoted with "Returns 0 for reshared videos" in their description.
Interactions on Reels are not included.
