facebook Banners Facebook Page - Connection and settings

Facebook is a social media platform that allows individuals and organizations to create profiles, connect with others, and share content such as photos, videos, and updates. Businesses can use Facebook to manage Pages, publish content, reach targeted audiences through ads, and track engagement.

Connecting Wiresk with Facebook enables automated content publishing, post management, and data retrieval from Facebook Pages. This helps streamline marketing workflows, improve consistency in communication, and enhance audience engagement by using Facebook’s wide reach and demographic insights.

Available Methods:

  • Create a Page Media Post – Publish photos or videos to a Facebook Page.
  • Create a Page Post – Publish text-based or link posts to a Facebook Page.
  • Update a Page Post – Edit an existing post on a Facebook Page.
  • Delete Page Post – Remove a post from a Facebook Page.
  • List Page Post – Retrieve a list of published posts from a Facebook Page.

A connection to your Facebook account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

Select the Trigger

It’s important to note that Facebook integration does not currently include any Triggers.
Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Triggers by clicking on the Wiresk 2025 05 02 at 15.00.40 Facebook Page - Connection and settings next to “All Triggers”.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings.

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

Add a Method to your Flow

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).
  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.

Once your Flow is configured, you can test or automate it using the Run panel or by managing Triggers from the Flow Management screen.

  • Run Flow: Manually runs the Flow once using sample data. Ideal for testing logic and field mapping. See How to Run a Flow.
  • Run Scheduler: Force-runs the Trigger immediately using live input. This bypasses the recurrence rule and is useful for verifying real data mapping. Learn more in Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

From the Trigger management panel (clock icon), you can:

  • Activate or deactivate Triggers
  • Force-run the scheduler
  • Copy Routing Keys (for HTTP Triggers)

If your Flow uses a Webhook Trigger, it runs automatically on each incoming webhook—no scheduler required. It remains active until you manually deactivate it.
