Facebook Pages Overview#

The Facebook Pages API on Pipedream allows you to automate interactions with your Facebook Page. Using Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create workflows that respond to events, publish new content, manage posts, and analyze Page performance data. This API enables seamless integration with other apps and services, allowing for complex automations and data-driven decision-making.

Action Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "facebook_pages-get-comment",
  name: "Get Comment",
  description: "Retrieves a comment on a post on a Facebook Page. [See the documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/comment/#read)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    post: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.facebookPages,
        "post",
        (c) => ({
          pageId: c.page,
        }),
      ],
    },
    comment: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.facebookPages,
        "comment",
        (c) => ({
          pageId: c.page,
          postId: c.post,
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.facebookPages.getComment({
      pageId: this.page,
      commentId: this.comment,
      $,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully retrieved comment with ID ${this.comment}`);

    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Facebook Pages	`facebookPages`	`app`	This component uses the Facebook Pages app.
Page	`page`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Post	`post`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Comment	`comment`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

Facebook Pages uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Facebook Pages account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Facebook Pages and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Facebook Pages API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailpublic_profilepages_manage_engagementpages_manage_postspages_show_listpages_read_user_content
