User Guide

From first sign-in to an exportable dashboard

Follow the V1 workflow to connect authorized Pages, keep data current, and work with the analytics available from Meta.

Historical and analytics availability depends on the data, permissions, and time ranges made available by Meta. Some requested data may not be available.
  1. 1

    Create or sign in

    Create a FanpageDA account with email and password, confirm the account when required, then sign in.

  2. 2

    Check V1 Beta access

    During Beta, the Facebook account you use may need access to the FanpageDA Meta App.

  3. 3

    Request access

    Use the Beta access email action, provide the requested Facebook Profile ID or URL, and accept any invitation sent through Meta before trying again.

  4. 4

    Connect Facebook

    Open Connections and start the Meta authorization flow. Sign in to the Facebook account that manages the Pages you want to use.

  5. 5

    Select authorized Pages

    Choose the Pages that FanpageDA may access. Only select Pages you are authorized to manage.

  6. 6

    Manage Connections

    Review connected Facebook accounts, their linked Pages, shared Page relationships, and items that need attention.

  7. 7

    Choose a dashboard

    Review the connected Pages, selected metrics, period totals, and last-update information shown for the dashboard.

    Choose a preset such as 7, 14, or 28 days for a quick reporting window.

  11. 11

    Request a custom historical range

    Choose start and end dates when you need another period. FanpageDA may need to retrieve available historical data before showing the result.

    Compare periods

    Compare with the previous period or choose a custom comparison range to inspect changes.

    When FanpageDA reports that authorization is required, open Connections and reauthorize the affected Facebook account or Page relationship.

  16. 16

    Respond to health warnings

    Follow the action shown for authorization issues. For temporary, rate-limit, unknown, or active-operation warnings, wait or retry as instructed instead of disconnecting unnecessarily.

  17. 17

    Troubleshoot or ask for support

    Confirm that Meta permissions and Beta access are active, retry the relevant action, and contact support with the affected feature, description, and expected result if the issue continues.
