Hi Juanki,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing trouble adding meta channels and suspecting that it might be related to revoked permissions from a previous team member on Facebook. Dealing with such issues can be frustrating, but don't worry, I'm here to help!

To resolve this problem, I recommend the following steps:

  1. Check App Permissions: Firstly, verify the permissions of your Facebook app and ensure that you have the necessary access to add meta channels. If permissions are missing or revoked, you may need to adjust them through your Facebook developer settings.

  2. Reconnect Accounts: If you believe a team member's actions affected the permissions, try reconnecting your account to the affected platform. This could refresh the access and resolve the error.

  3. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Facebook's support or developer community for further assistance. They might be able to provide specific guidance tailored to your situation.

  4. Audit Team Members: It's essential to audit your team members and remove any previous members who might have retained access to your Facebook app. Ensure that only trusted and authorized individuals have access to prevent similar issues in the future.

  5. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on any updates or changes in Facebook's developer policies that might impact your app's functionality. Being proactive and up-to-date can help you avoid potential problems.

Remember, handling permissions and settings can be intricate, so don't hesitate to seek assistance from Facebook's support resources for more specialized guidance. Best of luck in resolving the issue, and I hope your meta channels are up and running smoothly again soon! 😊👍

@jackdavid09 It's great to hear that you were able to resolve your issue on your own. However, if possible, could you share a video tutorial that explains the process? I'm interested in learning how to add these as well. If a video tutorial is not available, I will follow the guidelines you provided.

It seems like there might be an issue with permissions or access related to adding meta channels, possibly due to changes made by a former team member on Facebook. Here's what you can do:

1. **Review Permissions**: Check the permissions settings for your Facebook account or page. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to add meta channels.

2. **Revoke Access Tokens**: If a former team member revoked permissions, try re-establishing the connection between your platform and Facebook. This might involve generating new access tokens or re-authenticating your account.

3. **Contact Support**: If you're still experiencing issues, reach out to Facebook's support or developer documentation for assistance. They can provide guidance on troubleshooting and resolving permission-related issues.

4. **Internal Review**: Review your team's access and permissions management processes to prevent similar issues in the future. Ensure that access is revoked appropriately when team members leave.

By reviewing permissions, re-establishing connections, and seeking support from Facebook, you should be able to resolve the issue with adding meta channels.

Hi Juanki,

It sounds like a permissions issue on Facebook. Try checking the Facebook Business Integrations settings to reauthorize permissions. If that doesn’t work, contacting Facebook support might be necessary. 

Also, ensure your system isn’t running other resource-heavy apps like  while troubleshooting.

Best,
