Before you start
Steps
Open "Integrations" in Settings
Go to Settings and choose the Integrations tab. If you're new, the "Connect your socials" step on your Home page takes you to the same place.
You should see: A "Social media" section with Facebook at the top, marked "Live".
Open IntegrationsTap "Connect" next to Facebook
Facebook opens and asks you to sign in, if you aren't already.
You should see: Facebook's own screen, asking which Pages Autopilot may use.
Approve the request on Facebook
Choose the Page for your business and leave the permissions on. Autopilot uses them to publish posts and read the Page's past posts. Facebook then sends you back.
You should see: If you manage more than one Page, a screen titled "Pick your Facebook page". With only one Page, Autopilot connects it for you and skips ahead.
Choose your Page and tap "Connect page"
Pick the Page your posts should go to. This is the Page customers see, so double-check the name.
You should see: A "Facebook Page connected." message. Back on Integrations, the Facebook row now shows a "Disconnect" button.
What Autopilot does right after you connect
Autopilot reads the posts you've already published on the Page, so it has a feel for how you write. The Facebook row shows "Importing history" while that runs, then "Import complete" with a count of what came in.
Connect
- The business Page your customers already follow
- With the Facebook login that has admin access to that Page
Don't connect
- A personal profile. Autopilot posts to Pages only
- A Page you can see but don't manage
What happens next
With a Page connected, the posts you schedule can go out. Most owners do these next, in this order:
- Teach Autopilot how you talk. Here's how to train your voice by swiping.
- Schedule your first few posts yourself. Read how Review Mode works.
- When the posts sound like you, see how to turn on Autopilot Mode.
If something's not right
Autopilot says you don't have access to any Facebook Pages
The Facebook login you used doesn't manage a Page. Create one, or ask for admin access to your business's Page, then connect again. If the Page used to be connected and stopped, see what to do when Facebook disconnects your Page.
Connect shows a lock
Free connects 1 account. If another account is already linked, disconnect it first or go Pro. See what to do when you hit a plan limit.
You see a message that Facebook couldn't be connected
Nothing was changed. Go back to Integrations and tap Connect again. If you want to start clean, here's how to disconnect your Facebook Page first.
