I build a COVID 19 dashboard and I try to get data from Social media Like Facebook to make a trend for example of how people search, Posts, comment about COVID 19, and so on. I follow the Microsoft document but the Connector disabled.
The standard connecter in Power BI has been removed in the latest version. For older version of Power BI its not working. Part of this issue is due to the Facebook App permission restrictions. On the Microsoft Docs site it states:
"Due to Facebook App permission restrictions, the connector capabilities described in this article are not currently working properly. We’re working with Facebook to return this functionality as soon as possible."
The Facebook connector only looked at your posts and content, it cannot be used for seeing how people searched etc. You may have to use the Facebook Graph API to do this and another tool(s).

We are having trouble setting up Facebook Install Ads attribution via Branch.io. Currently, Branch.io dashboard shows we have installs via Facebook link, but Facebook ad cabinet shows 0 installs.
Our setup is
I've integrated branch.io for Flutter using this plugin https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_branch_sdk (Quick Links are working OK, see p.6)
I've setup Application on Facebook (developers.facebook.com) side and linked it to application in stores (AppStore and Google Play)
I've setup Facebook as Ad partner in Branch Dashboard > Partner Management, and then created Facebook link
I've created Ads in Facebook with aim Installs and used Branch link (all as per guides)
I've followed guides on Branch's docs regarding publishing - specified that we use IDFA in AppStore, all ticks as in guide, made sure we have AdSupport.framework in xCode project, added com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9+ in build.graddle, etc
I've exported some data from Branch Dashboard and IDFA/Android Id values were present (in Branch Dashboard > Exports > Custom Exports, as I understand, this exports Quick Links only, but still IDFA are there), this proves we are collecting these IDs.
Branch > Ads > Fraud dashboard is empty.
Branch SDK versions are 0.32.0 iOS and 5.0.1 Android
Regardless, Facebook doesn't see app Installs at all.

A Branchster Here -
Briefly explaining that SAN partners like Google AdWords/ Facebook integration is different from conventional non-SAN partners, where we send conversion data to SAN partners and they will claim the install/ Events according to their conversion logic and respond to us via API. Branch then analyses the data from all the partners and attributes the same Install/ Event based on last touch attribution logic. You will see less data on Branch dashboard as we show only attributed data for a SAN partner than the respective SAN dashboard. Please note Branch numbers is more accurate as we show the data as per cross-channel attribution.
Here are some troubleshooting you can do-
Please match both the attribution windows.
Please make sure you have synced the timezone on both Branch and Facebook
Please make sure you have signed the Facebook MMP or attribution data won't come.
I'll keep this post updated with general troubleshooting.
Issue is resolved.
Recreating Ad campaigns with exactly same settings resolved the issue.
Unfortunately both Branch and Facebook support were not helpful. :(
I'm looking at setting up an Instagram app so I can push content from my app directly to Instagram. I'm already doing this for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
I know that Instagram is in the middle of moving to the Facebook Graph API, and it seems like there are several barriers to even start developing an app.
At the top of the Getting Started link there's a blurb stating that I need to undergo "Business Verification" to use the Instagram Graph API. Do I need to do this in order to use these endpoints in sandbox mode? (Edit: I believe this must be done in order to test the non-beta aspects of the API) In addition, the Content Publishing API seems to be locked down even further, requiring parternship with either Facebook or Instagram, and neither are accepting new applications.
Is there some way to test this in sandox mode without becoming a partner?
(Edit: Testing your app Suggests that I must do business validation in order to use the non-beta aspects, and there's no permission for publish_content, leading me to believe that I must be a business partner to even test this feature. Can anyone confirm?)

I've got client who has several different websites, each website having Google analytics account.
Our marketing department is also running Google Adwords/Facebook/Instagram ads for each of those websites.
I want data/leads from Google and Facebook on my local server. I also want real-time data that should automatically update from Google & Facebook with fixed time interval.
I've been Googling and experimenting with the Analytics API docs, but no luck.
Any one please help me to find better solution.
#This question is not for this website but I didn't find any other option.
Thank you.
There are several services that your are looking for. Use this info like a getting started. Every service has his own simplicities and complexities.
Adwords
Use Campaign Performance Report to download your campaign's metrics. See examples in PHP, Java, Python, etc.
Analytics
Use RealTime API to get real time data. See examples
Use Core Reporting API to get general data. See examples
There is a very useful tool: Query Explorer to see Analytics API working
Facebook / Instagram
Use Ads Insights API to download your campaigns's metrics. See examples
I am trying to connect Social Connected to Facebook using Sitecore 8's (rev 5) Social Connected functionality (we are unable to use Komfo for budget reasons) however i've had a few issues. I was following this walkthrough from the Sitecore documentation site.
I was getting this error when trying to connect a Facebook account:
"Invalid Scopes: read_stream. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present.
Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions"
So I went ahead and did some reading and found this Stack Overflow question
which from the information there I was able to find that the particular permissions that Sitecore is asking Facebook for are deprecated.
From there I changed the permission from publish_stream to publish_actions and was able to give Sitecore the permissions it needed in Facebook. The problem is that Sitecore wanted this to be done in the browser window it provided, and so it did not acknowledge that the permissions were set in Facebook, even though they were.
I then tried to manually add a social media account from a template, hoping to input the data it would need manually now that it had the appropriate permissions. However after doing this Sitecore then started to throw an error when adding other social media accounts:
"The Social Connected Module is not configured.
There are no social networks available with applications that you can use to create an account."
Social connected is in fact configured, and before making these changes I was still able to add other social media accounts. Recreating the Applications solves this issue but puts me back at square one.
Any ideas on how we can rectify these issues would be greatly appreciated.
I managed to get around this issue. First, in the content editor, I created a Facebook application under System/Social/Applications. Then, I created a social media account under System/Social/Accounts for LinkedIn and then duplicated it, changing the configuration to suit Facebook.
Once I did this I was able to post text posts to Facebook and Twitter. I was not able to get image posts working, and by this time, we abandoned the idea.
It's worth noting that Sitecore continued to push us toward Komfo. It's pricey and is essentially an iframe placed in the Sitecore UI with limited functionality. There are other tools out there that will give you similar analytics features for a fraction of the price.
It's also worth noting that the social connected functionality in Sitecore 8.1 appears to ask Facebook for the correct permissions, so you wont have this issue. I cannot vouch for its functionality in terms of actually posting as I haven't fully tested it.
Fortunately, Facebook permissions are only string and you can easily modify it using reverse engineering. It was done for Sitecore 7 version, but I think same approach will work for Sitecore 8.
Also, you are able to create a ticket in Sitecore support and they will provide you hotfix for this issue.
I have been doing a bit of research trying to figure out if i can get Google analytics to work with a Facebook app/page. So far I have looked at analytics offered by Facebook, which will be deprecated later this year and also using FBGAT to create a tracking image. from what i found, the tracking image won't work anymore and i was wondering what the community had to say about it or if it is possible to track traffic coming in to an app/page?
Facebook Insights aren't deprecated, some of the specific metrics are/were - these are itemised in the documentation.
You should have no problem using Google Analytics in your app; I believe many developers do this
