Facebook Group deprecated?

[mikejandreau]

In one of my workflows, I have an action to post to a Facebook group. That action shows deprecated now and I am unable to connect a new Facebook connection to it.

Is this action deprecated, and if so, can I replace it with something else? I don’t see anything for Facebook Groups as options in actions now.

Hi @mikejandreau,

Yes, as of April 22, 2024, Meta has deprecated the Facebook Group API from their end. This change affects all triggers and actions related to Facebook Groups in your Pabbly Connect automation workflows.

Here are the key points to keep in mind:

• Deprecation Details: The Facebook Groups API, including all related permissions and reviewable features, has been deprecated in v19 and will be removed from all versions, Learn more.
• Workflow Impact: All automation workflows using Facebook Groups in Pabbly Connect will no longer work. This includes both existing workflows and the creation of new ones.

Introducing Facebook Graph API v19.0 and Marketing API v19.0

Today, we are releasing Facebook Graph API v19.0 and Marketing API v19.0. As part of this release, we are highlighting changes below that we believe are relevant to parts of our developer community. These changes include announcements, product updates, and notifications on deprecations on...

The doc says:
A major use case for the Groups API was Private Replies in groups. We're rolling out another change in v19 which will enable that use case without developers needing to use the Groups API at all. For most Private Replies developers, there will be no changes to make in v19. For developers that were relying on calls to the Groups Post endpoints through Groups API after receiving a Private Replies webhook, those developers will now need to ensure they're using a Page Access Token for those requests.

Is Pabbly doing something to continue making posting to a Facebook Group?

Currently, there is no workaround for Facebook Group API related use cases.
