🛠️ Troubleshooting FAQ

I have "Full Control," but I still can't see my Page.

This is usually due to a "Business Integration" glitch. Even if you have the right roles on the Page, Facebook might not have authorized the Back At You Social app itself.

  • The Fix: Go to your Facebook Business Integrations. Find Back At You Social, click View and Edit, and ensure every single toggle is turned ON—especially the ones listing your specific Page.

I’m an Admin, but Back At You Social says I need "Full Control."

Facebook recently updated its layout to the "New Pages Experience." The old "Admin" role is now split into "Facebook Access" and "Task Access."

  • The Fix: You must be listed under "People with Facebook access" with the "Full Control" toggle enabled. If you are only listed under "Task Access," the connection will fail.

Why does Back At You Social need my personal Facebook login?

To manage a business page, Meta requires you to authenticate via the personal profile that has authority over that page.

  • Note: Back At You Social cannot see your personal photos, post to your personal timeline, or message your friends. We only use this "handshake" to reach your business assets.

I don’t see my Page in the Meta Business Suite.

If your Page isn't showing up in the Business Suite, it might be "owned" by a different Business Account or not linked to one yet.

  • The Fix: Check Business Settings > Pages to see which Business Account officially owns the Page. You must have "Full Control" of that specific Business Account.

Does my Instagram need to be connected too?

If you plan on automating Instagram content through Back At You Social, your Instagram Professional account must be linked to your Facebook Business Page.

  • The Fix: Go to your Facebook Page Settings > Linked Accounts and ensure your Instagram handle is showing as "Connected.".
