Pabbly Facebook Group Access

Status: Closed · Asked by BitGamey on · 0 views

BitGamey — Question ·

I have several Facebook groups with Pabbly added as an app and it has been working great, for the most part.

On April 22nd, since Facebook is no longer allowing 3rd party apps in groups, Pabbly will be unavailable (https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/05/meta-cuts-off-third-party-access-to-facebook-groups-leaving-developers-and-customers-in-disarray/).

I don't see any mention of the app shutdown on your website or Zapier's, so I am curious which options will be available to your customers after this time. Being able to post to Facebook Groups is 90% of why I became a lifetime member, so I'm sure you can understand my concern.

Hi @BitGamey,

Please me some time to discuss this concern with my team. We will get back to you with an update soon.

As the FB Group API is being deprecated by Facebook, we will make an effort to notify all users five days in advance.

So there is no solution or workaround, Pabbly users just won't be able to remotely post to groups any longer?

I am afraid there is no workaround for this at the moment.

Since the deadline is tomorrow and I haven't received anything, I imagine support will have a fun day! Good luck.

Thankfully I didn't wait for your notification on the day it was deprecated and already have alternative measures in place. I hope you don't get too much backlash from this.
