  3. Under Add a product, select Facebook Login.

Connecting to Facebook Pages

Once your users have connected their Facebook Pages account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access Facebook Pages on behalf of connected users.

See the Facebook Pages REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Facebook Pages endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.

JavaScript
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration.

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectID>, <Paragon User Token>);

// Post content to a Facebook Page
await paragon.request('facebookpages', '/feed', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: {
  'message': 'Hello Fans!'
  }
});

// Get Page Info
await paragon.request('facebookpages', '?fields=about,name,category,description,contact_address,emails,app_id,posts,username,verification_status,link,personal_info,phone', {
  method: 'GET'
});

// Get a single Metric
await paragon.request('facebookpages', '/insights/<metric-name>', {
  method: 'GET'
});

​
Building Facebook Pages workflows

Once your Facebook Pages account is connected, you use the Facebook Pages Request step to access any of Facebook Pages’ API endpoints without the authentication piece.

When creating or updating records in Facebook Pages, you can reference data from previous steps by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.
