Setting up and posting to Facebook

Facebook is shaped a little differently from LinkedIn when it comes to setting up and posting your adverts.

There are two key points to mention right at the outset:

1. You have different ways you can set up your company's Facebook account for advert posting with idibu.
2. Having done this, your users need to link their own accounts during the posting process in order to post to your company page(s).

First step in setting up Facebook is to locate your Company page ID.

For your users to post to your company Facebook page(s) it is essential that you have added the Facebook Page ID (Business portfolio number) to your idibu account. Without this, your users' postings to Facebook will fail. 

You will also need to assign selected users the role of 'Admin' or 'Editor' on your Facebook page(s).

Once the ID has been added to your account (and your users assigned one of the FB page roles mentioned above), you can then instruct them to sign into their Facebook accounts while posting.

Finding your Facebook Page ID

1. Log in as an administrator of your company's Facebook page
2. Go to Settings
3. Page Setup
4. Page access
5. A business portfolio number will be displayed, which is your Facebook page ID.

4. Copy this ID and then open your idibu account. 

Adding your Facebook Page ID to idibu

1. Go to Settings, then click job board settings. 

2. Click edit next to Facebook. 

If you haven't added Facebook, then use the 'board search' field to find and open Facebook.

3. To set this page as the default for all users, paste the ID into the Page ID field listed under 'default settings'. 

To assign specific IDs for different pages to groups, sub-groups or individual users, then paste the relevant IDs in the fields 

4. Scroll to the bottom and click 'Save board settings'.
