  • The user who configures the Facebook campaign in uContact, must be logged in as administrator of the page that they want to associate.

Facebook campaigns configuration

In order to apply the following steps to associate the Facebook account in uContact, first of all there must be a Facebook page created for the Facebook account in question.

If you do not have a Facebook page, go to the Create Facebook page section.

Basic configuration

Schedule
Time frame in which the campaign will be available.

  • To add schedules, the days of the week and schedules From and To are selected in 24-hour format. Then we press '+', our schedule is loaded to the list and we click Save.

  • To remove a schedule we simply select it from the list, press the '-' button and click Save.

After entering the parameters for creating the Facebook campaign in uContact, pressing the "Save" button presents a pop-up window to activate it in the system

The user must press "Continue" as long as the user related to the Facebook account in question has administration permissions for the page that you want to associate.

By continuing, the user will be asked to choose an available page from the list for the Facebook account, which of these is required to associate with the uContact campaign.

After pressing the "Next" button, the necessary permissions must be enabled to manage the Facebook account.

Importantly, ALL permissions shown in this step must be enabled and accepted for the integration to work properly.

After clicking "Done", Facebook will visually notify on the next screen that the connection was successful.

Finally, after pressing the "Accept" button, an image will be displayed that confirms the successful activation of the Facebook page in the corresponding campaign, which must be closed to finish the process.

The Facebook campaign will be ready in uContact to receive interactions. It only remains to add the agents who will be members of the campaign, so that they begin to process the interactions that customers make on the page.

To see the status of the campaign, it is recommended to click on the refresh icon in the upper right corner of the campaign table.

To consider

In case the 'ACTIVE TOKEN' icon appears in red it means that the campaign is inactive.

This can happen every a certain time stipulated by Facebook based on its security policies.

To activate it again, we select the campaign and press the 'Activate with Facebook' button in the lower left corner of the configuration screen, after that we will follow the activation steps again.
