# Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

Create an app in the [Meta for Developers dashboard](https://developers.facebook.com/apps/). Keep one app for each integration unless Meta's dashboard requires a separate product or review path. Register the OpenPost callback for the provider you are enabling:

```text
https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/facebook/callback
https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/instagram/callback
https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/threads/callback
```

Set `OPENPOST_APP_URL` to `https://your-domain.example` and put the app ID and secret in the provider registry. This example contains all three entries. Remove entries you are not configuring.

```json
[
  {
    "provider": "facebook",
    "client_id": "meta-app-id",
    "client_secret": "meta-app-secret",
    "redirect_uri": "https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/facebook/callback"
  },
  {
    "provider": "instagram",
    "client_id": "meta-app-id",
    "client_secret": "meta-app-secret",
    "redirect_uri": "https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/instagram/callback"
  },
  {
    "provider": "threads",
    "client_id": "threads-app-id",
    "client_secret": "threads-app-secret",
    "redirect_uri": "https://your-domain.example/api/v1/accounts/threads/callback"
  }
]
```

## Facebook Pages

Add the **Facebook Login** product. Request `business_management`, `pages_show_list`, `pages_read_engagement`, `pages_manage_engagement`, `pages_manage_posts`, and `pages_messaging`. After review where Meta requires it, restart OpenPost and connect from **Settings → Workspace → Social accounts → Facebook**. The user chooses a manageable Page. Pages in a Business Portfolio may require `business_management` and full control.

## Instagram professional accounts

Add Facebook Login and connect an Instagram Business or Creator account to a Facebook Page. Request `business_management`, `instagram_basic`, `instagram_content_publish`, `instagram_manage_comments`, `instagram_manage_messages`, `instagram_manage_insights`, `pages_show_list`, and `pages_read_engagement`. Set `OPENPOST_MEDIA_URL` to a public HTTPS URL because Meta fetches image and Reel media from it. Connect through the Instagram entry in Accounts and choose the returned professional account.

## Threads

Add the Threads API product in the [Threads API documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/). Request `threads_basic`, `threads_content_publish`, `threads_manage_replies`, `threads_manage_insights`, and `threads_location_tagging`. Set `OPENPOST_MEDIA_URL` to public HTTPS media before testing. Connect through Accounts and test a text post first, then media.

## Troubleshooting

For all three, compare the callback URL exactly, confirm the app is in the correct mode, and reconnect after changing scopes. A successful login does not prove publish permission. If media fails, fetch the media URL from outside your network and check its MIME type. If a Page or professional account is missing, check the Meta user's Page role, account link, and approved products.
