Facebook Pages Connector allows you to connect Lark with your Facebook account to manage your Facebook pages through automated workflows of Zapier, the online automation tool.
Overview
About Facebook Pages
Pages are places on Facebook where artists, public figures, businesses, brands, organizations and nonprofits can connect with their fans or customers. When someone likes or follows a Page on Facebook, they can start seeing updates from that Page in their News Feed. For more information on how to make good use of this feature for businesses, see Facebook documentation Create a beautiful online home for your business.
About Facebook Pages Connector
Facebook Pages connector is an app developed based on the capabilities of Zapier, the popular online automation tool. Facebook Pages Connector offers a place for you to set up and centrally manage automated workflows that are just between Lark and Facebook Pages.
By automating things between Lark and your Facebook Pages account, you can get notified of most updates happening in your Facebook Pages account like new posts and recommendations, all without leaving Lark. For more possibilities between Lark x Facebook Pages integrations that can be achieved through Zapier, see Lark + Facebook Pages Integrations by Zapier.
You can install the Facebook Pages Connector app from the Lark App Directory. In case you see an alert that Facebook Pages Connector hasn't been enabled or installed in your organization, contact your administrator to enable it for your tenant.
Tips: For team administrators, we recommend that you enable the "Allow Members to install apps in the App Directory" feature in the admin console, so your members can install Facebook Pages Connector themselves. For more information, see Workplace | How regular users can install apps from the Lark App Directory？
Facebook Pages Connector runs on both desktop and mobile while it's recommended to use the desktop version for better user experience.

FAQ
Yes you can do it either within our app or directly on Zapier site but only Facebook Pages x Lark Zaps will show up here in the app.
When I try to create a Zap from a template, although I complete and turn it on, it doesn't seem to work, and the test also fails. Why?
Make sure you have entered Go to Advanced Mode during the set-up, filled in all required fields and tested the triggers and actions before you turn it on.
When I try to set up a Zap involving sending messages to Lark group chats, why can't I find the chat I want from the list of chats on Zapier?
You'll need to add the Zapier Connector bot into a Lark group chat before the chat can appear for selection.
Why the Zap I have successfully set up between Lark and Facebook Pages doesn't show up in the "Managing existing Lark + Facebook Pages Integrations"?
Please double check the Lark account you used for setting up this Zap is exactly the same as your current Lark account (same identify and same tenant). Otherwise, it won't show up.
