Data Schema
Meta applies global rate limits across your account
- This means that Meta imposes certain restrictions on how often you can make requests or perform certain actions on their platform for a specific account. This is usually done to prevent misuse or overuse of their services.
- If you're using Meta APIs for multiple purposes, you might encounter problems when trying to sync data with Weld as the global rate limits might have been reached.
Meta APIs Scopes
The Weld App asks for the following scopes when setting up the integration:
- pages_show_list
- pages_read_engagement
- pages_read_user_content
- read_insights
- business_management

- An active Facebook account with permission to access data from the pages you would like to sync.
Step 1 - Begin Configuration

- Click Authorize to allow Weld to access your Facebook account using OAuth. You will be redirected to your Facebook account.
Step 2 - Approve and finalize

- Select which page(s) you would like to sync data from.
- When authorization is complete, you will be redirected back to the Weld connections overview. The configuration is complete.
Step 3 - Connection Settings

Step 4 - Data To Sync
