Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you have a failed social message or you are having trouble reconnecting your Facebook Group, follow the steps below.

1. Confirm You Are a Facebook Admin

Go to the Members tab within Facebook.com to check whether you're an Admin. See the screenshot below.
  • If you are an Admin, we find that the most common issue is that your CoSchedule app within the Facebook Group needs to be removed and re-added (steps 1-4 in the section above).
  • If you are not an Admin, have an existing admin add you, then repeat steps 1-7 above.

2. Confirm Two-Factor Authentication is Enabled within Facebook for Each Admin

Confirm that each Admin on the Facebook Group has Two-Factor Authentication enabled within Facebook. You'll find instructions here.

3. Check Facebook Permissions

Tip: Social publishing from your calendar may not work properly if all permissions aren't enabled.
  1. Click here to open your Business Integration settings page on Facebook.
  2. If you do not see the CoSchedule App, work through steps 1-4 in the Connect a Facebook Group to Your Calendar section above before continuing.
  3. Click View and Edit on the CoSchedule App.
  4. Select all Facebook pages, Facebook groups, and Instagram accounts you want to be connected to CoSchedule, and enable all permissions. You may need to scroll through this menu depending on your account.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Go to your CoSchedule Social Profiles page and connect your page.

4. Contact Facebook Support

If none of the above steps work, the issue may be with Facebook and CoSchedule will be unable to help troubleshoot further. For your convenience, here is a link to contact Facebook Support. Back To Top

Frequently Asked Questions

Can posts appear as though published from my Facebook page?

Posts published to a Facebook Group will appear to be posted by the Facebook profile that was used to connect the Group to CoSchedule. When you or other team members on your calendar schedule posts to the Facebook Group, they will always appear as being posted by that Facebook profile. Back To Top
