This article covers common reasons why your Facebook Page is not appearing when you try to select it when adding or reconnecting a Facebook Page Profile.

There are a few different reasons this can happen so please go through the steps below in the order provided:

Check your Sendible setup

Before troubleshooting the setup on Facebook, let's ensure that everything is set up properly on Sendible.

Head over to the article Add a Facebook Page profile to double-check all the Facebook accounts and permissions are authorised correctly to publish posts to Facebook.

If you’ve followed all the steps in the above article but your Facebook Page (s) are still not displaying to select, you’ll need to move on to the following steps.

Check your Facebook setup

After troubleshooting many scenarios and speaking with Facebook that this issue is happening due to:

• Due to the lack of necessary Admin permissions via Facebook or Facebook Business Manager

Within this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about the correct permissions with step-by-step troubleshooting steps based on your Facebook Page setup and additional useful articles.

Identifying your Facebook Page Setup

There are three different areas where page role permissions need to must be checked.

1. Please navigate to your Facebook Page and go to Settings > Page Roles.

   Compare your page roles to the examples seen in the images below:

   If your Page roles look the same as above and you are an Admin, then the Default Page Setup has been used. To troubleshoot this kind of setup, jump to the Troubleshoot Default Page Setup section.

2. If you see Page Owner under Page Roles as per the image below ...  ... then the Advanced Page Setup has been used, and the Page is managed by Facebook Business Manager. To troubleshoot this kind of setup, jump to the Troubleshoot Advanced Page Setup section.
3. If you see the message Go to Business Manager to manage this Page at the very top of the Facebook Page, open the Facebook Business Manager.

   Navigate to Settings > Page roles > Clients Business Manager under Page owner, as per the image below: This is the Agency Level Setup for managing multiple client pages. To troubleshoot this kind of setup, see the Troubleshoot Agency Level Setup section.

   For additional troubleshooting steps applied for all page set up as per above, see the Additional troubleshooting steps section.

Troubleshoot Default Page Setup

All Sendible app permissions must be accepted for Facebook to allow third-party platforms to access your Facebook Pages. To address this, you'll first need to log into the relevant Facebook Profile account and:

• Remove the Sendible app from Facebook

For step by step instructions to revoke the Sendible app from Facebook, please see Remove or revoke Sendible's access to social sites

Once you've removed or revoked access from the social media sites, you'll need to reconnect to your Facebook Profile in your Sendible Dashboard. For step by step instructions to reconnect a Facebook profile, please see Reconnect a Facebook Page profile

To reconnect multiple Facebook Pages that have the same Facebook Admin in bulk, see the steps in the article Reconnect Facebook Pages in bulk

Troubleshoot Advanced Page Setup

1. With this page setup, the issue commonly occurs because your Facebook Profile has not been given Admin access via Business Manager for the Page/s you're looking to add to Sendible. To ensure that you've Admin permissions, double-check if the permissions are correct. To do so:
2. Go to Facebook Business Manager Settings
3. Accounts > Pages
4. Select Facebook Page you're looking to add to Sendible
5. Click on the '>' next to your name to extend the view and check if you have Admin access

To accept app permissions, you must have Administrator access to the Facebook Page(s) you're looking to add to the Business Manager as well.

Please see the article from Facebook's Help Center, What are the different Page roles and what can they do?, for more information on Facebook Page Roles.

Once you have been given Admin access, the relevant Facebook Page(s) should then appear in the drop-down menu.

If not your permissions need to be re-accepted. Please see Remove or revoke Sendible's access to social sites for steps to revoke the Sendible app on Facebook.

Troubleshoot Agency Level Setup

Double-check if the permissions are correct. To do so:

1. Go to Business Manager settings
2. Accounts > Pages
3. Select Facebook Page you're looking to add to Sendible
4. Click on the '>' next to your name to extend the view and check if you have Admin access.

If the setup is correct it should look something like this:

If you have Admin permissions under the Facebook Business Manager, please see How Do I Remove or Revoke Access from Social Media Sites? for steps to revoke the Sendible app on Facebook so that permissions can be re-accepted.

If your Agency permissions look slightly different, for example, Admin, custom, please get in touch with your client and ensure that they give you all permissions.
