BlueKona

Connecting Facebook

Link a Facebook Page for post analytics and page insights.

BlueKona connects to Facebook Pages, not personal profiles. You authorise with your personal account, then choose which Page to analyse.

What you need

  • A Facebook Page.
  • Admin access to that Page.

Connect it

  1. Open Connections

    Go to Settings → Connections and press Connect on the Facebook card.

  2. Authorise with Facebook

    Sign in with the personal account that administers the Page. BlueKona does not analyse your personal profile.

  3. Select your Pages

    Facebook asks which Pages to grant access to. Make sure the Page you want is ticked — if it is not, it will not appear in the next step.

  4. Pick the Page

    Choose which Page to bind. You are returned with "Facebook Page connected."

What it unlocks

  • Facebook audits — post performance, reactions, reach and audience response.
  • Content Studio — score and improve Page posts, including scheduled ones.
  • Distribution — publish approved content to the Page.

Connecting more than one Page

Each workspace binds one Facebook Page at a time. To analyse a second Page, either switch the connection to it, or use a separate workspace — see Personal vs team workspaces.

Troubleshooting

The Page I want is not in the list You either did not tick it during Facebook's approval step, or you are not an admin of it. Disconnect and reconnect, making sure it is selected.

Insights are empty Facebook only provides Page insights above a minimum audience size, and only from the point the Page had activity. Very new or very small Pages may legitimately return nothing.

"Security check failed. Please try again." The approval round-trip took too long or was interrupted. Start again from Connect.
