What Facebook sync does

With your Facebook page connected, a sync runs once a day, automatically - nothing to schedule or trigger.

What it pulls in

• Page details - name, picture, follower and like counts (feeding the Stats widget and shortcodes like {{facebook_followers}})
• Engagement figures - for your dashboard's analytics
• Your page's events
• Recent posts - shown by the Facebook Feed widget

What it doesn't do

• It's one-way, inbound. Sync pulls from Facebook - it never posts, edits or deletes anything on your page. The only thing that writes to Facebook is you, deliberately, via Export an event to Facebook.
• It's not instant. Want a new post on your site now? Use Sync Now on Connections (or the refresh button beside your events list) rather than waiting for the daily run.
• It doesn't touch your own content. Pages, events and convoys you built on your site are yours; sync never modifies them.

Controls

The Connections page shows when the last sync ran, has the Sync Now button, and a toggle to switch the daily sync off entirely if you'd rather refresh manually.
