Connect your Facebook Page to NovaStores for direct posting and streamlined content management.
Connecting Your Facebook Page for Social Posting
NovaStores lets you connect your Facebook account to schedule posts directly to your brand's Facebook Page. This requires a small browser extension to securely link your Facebook session.
1. Install the NovaStores Connector Extension
To begin, you need the NovaStores Connector Chrome Extension.
- In your NovaStores dashboard, go to the Social Content Schedule page.
- Click the "Get Connector Extension" button next to the "Social Content Schedule" heading.
- This will open the Chrome Web Store in a new tab. Follow the instructions to add the extension to your Chrome browser.
2. Link Your Facebook Account
Once the extension is installed and pinned to your browser:
- Click the NovaStores Connector icon in your browser's toolbar.
- The extension panel will open. If you are not logged into NovaStores in that browser, it will ask you to "Open Dashboard".
- Ensure you are logged into your NovaStores account in your browser and have selected the correct store in the "Active Workspace" dropdown within the extension panel.
- Make sure you are also logged into your Facebook account in that same browser. The Facebook card in the extension will show "Active profile found" in green. If it says "Please log in" in red, open Facebook in a new tab and sign in, then return to the extension.
- Click the "Connect Facebook" button. The button will briefly show "Connecting..." and then "Connection Successful!" for a few seconds.
3. Select Your Target Facebook Page
After connecting, return to your NovaStores Social Content Schedule page.
- Under the "Facebook Connected" card, locate the "Target Page" section.
- You will see a message: "Click 'Fetch Pages' to load your managed pages." Click the "Fetch Pages" button.
- This process may take a minute or two as NovaStores securely retrieves your managed pages. The status will update automatically.
- Once pages are loaded, use the dropdown menu to "Select a page to post to..." Choose the specific Facebook Page where your brand's content should be published.
- Your selection saves automatically. You will see a small "Saving..." message.
Your Facebook Page is now connected and ready for scheduling posts! You can also connect your Instagram account using the same steps for the Instagram card in the extension.
4. Schedule a Post to Facebook
With your Facebook Page selected:
- Click the "Schedule Post" button on the Social Content Schedule page.
- In the modal that opens, ensure the "Facebook Page" option is ticked under "1. Select Platforms". If you have Instagram connected, it might be ticked too; untick it if you only want to post to Facebook.
- Choose your post source (Standard Product or AI Generated Post) and fill in the content.
- Set your desired schedule time and click "Schedule Post".
The post will appear on your timeline, showing its status and eventually a "View Live" link once published.
