FAQs:

Q: How do I set up Facebook Automations in LinkDM?

A: Configure a universal trigger, compose your DM, set a unique keyword in the Universal Auto-Reply section, and select 'Facebook' under Platform. Ensure you've granted necessary permissions if the option is greyed out.

‍

Q: Why can't I integrate Facebook posts directly like Instagram?

A: Facebook post integration is currently exclusive to universal auto-replies due to platform limitations. Expansion depends on user demand and feature uptake.

‍

Q: Can I set up an automation specifically for Facebook without affecting Instagram?
A: Yes, within the Platform sub-menu, you can select just 'Facebook' to apply automations exclusively to this platform.

‍

Q: Why is a unique trigger required for each automation? Can't I use a common word like "Link" for all my Facebook posts?

A: A unique trigger is necessary to ensure accurate and specific responses; common or repeated triggers may lead to unintended replies. Consider using a naming convention like LINK1, LINK2, etc., to maintain clarity and effectiveness.
