How to connect to your Facebook Group
Social Planner allows you to add all your groups from different Facebook profiles at once.
For Facebook groups, do the following:
- Make sure that you have an Admin role for the Facebook group. To learn more, see the Facebook article Group Management for Admins.
- Add Lead Connector as an authorized app to the group. For instruction, see the Facebook article How do I add an app to a Facebook group I admin?
To add an app to your group:
- From your Feed, click Groups in the left menu and select your group. If you can't see Groups, click See more.
- Click Settings in the left menu.
- Scroll down and click the "pencil icon" next to Apps, then click Add Apps.
- Select or Search for LeadConnector and add it out
Due to Facebook's API changes in 2018 regarding safeguarding privacy policy, you can no longer connect personal Facebook profiles. However, you can add pages/groups from different profiles.

Starting off, navigate to the top right corner to get into Social Planner > Setting (gear icon)
Step 2: Connect new group(s)
Then, on the social accounts page, you need to click Connect a new Facebook Group(s) of the table as shown below.
Step 3: Give permissions.
If connecting any profile for the first time, you must give all the permissions to LeadConnector.
Click Continue to complete the authorization process and avoid any issues in the connection.
Step 4: Select Groups to connect
You will see a list of all the pages you own for this profile. You can select the ones you'd like to connectwith for social posting through the platform.
Step 5: Verify your connection
Last but not least, all of the selected groups in the previous step will be listed down showing a successful connection; as shown in the image below.
