Everything your agent can do with Facebook Pages and Crossref Metadata Search ## Triggers and actions 2 triggers · 34 actions - Trigger **New Comment** Triggers when someone comments on one of your Facebook Page's recent posts. - Trigger **New Post by You** Triggers when your Facebook Page publishes a new post. - Action **Create Comment** Creates a comment on a facebook post or replies to an existing comment. - Action **Create Multi Photo Post** Publish one Facebook Page feed post containing one or more photos from public URLs. The action first uploads every photo with published=false, then creates one /feed post with those photo IDs as attached_media. If any upload fails, the feed post is not created; earlier uploads can remain unpublished on Facebook temporarily. This action publishes immediately and does not add photos to an existing album. - Action **Create Photo Post** Posts a photo from a URL to a Facebook Page, with an optional caption. - Action **Create Post** Creates a new post on a facebook page. - Action **Delete Comment** Deletes a facebook comment. - Action **Delete Post** Deletes a facebook page post. - Action **Get Comment** Returns one comment on a Facebook Page post. - Action **Get Comments** Retrieves comments from a facebook post or comment (for replies). - Action **Get Page Details** Fetches details about a specific facebook page. - Action **Get Page Photos** Returns the photos on a Facebook Page. - Action **Get Page Posts** Retrieves posts from a facebook page. - Action **Get Page Roles** Retrieves a list of people and their tasks/roles on a facebook page. - Action **Get Page Tagged Posts** Retrieves posts where a Facebook Page is tagged or mentioned.

Requires `pages_show_list` or `pages_read_engagement` OAuth scopes; missing scopes silently return empty results rather than an error. An empty `data` array means the user manages no Pages. Results are paginated via `paging.cursors`; follow `paging.next` until absent to retrieve all Pages when count exceeds `limit`.
