When a club connects their social media accounts with ClubZap it removes the replication for club admins in updating multiple communication channels. Once integration is completed a single click can update 4 channels of communication for your sports club: App + Website + Facebook + Twitter.

Before you begin you must check that you have access on your Club's Facebook Professional Dashboard.

Login to Facebook, in your clubs page, select the Professional Dashboard. To find the professional dashboard, switch users to your club and Professional Dashboard will be in the menu options along the left side.

From the options on the menu on the left side, select Page Access.

On the following screen the person connecting the Facebook page must be listed as someone with Facebook access - see example below.

Once you have ensured you have the correct access continue as follows.

5. Click on the option to Connect or Reconnect (if you were previously connected)

**At this point you are logging in on your personal account (not your clubs)**

6. Next you will be asked which page you want to integrate with - click on the checkbox for the page required to complete the setup.

In this example we are connecting the Bedrock page. Select Continue.

You will then be asked to verify permissions

Select Save.

7. Finally, once successfully connected click on Got it to confirm.

Your Facebook page is now connected to ClubZap.

Recent security changes by Facebook means 3rd party applications like ClubZap can only post to clubs Facebook pages who are setup as an organisation or Business. As a result we cannot post to pages that are stup as personal pages (i.e: You must add as a friend to see content rather than simply like the page) and can only post to community or business pages which is the norm now a days for sports clubs.

If your Facebook page changes or a new page is created you may need to connect your account for integration with ClubZap again. This is normally achieved by going to
​Club Settings -> Social Media and selecting the Reconnect Facebook option and following the steps detailed above.
If you have issues reconnecting your Facebook page it may be down to permissions which can usually be resolved by removing the old ClubZap profile on your clubs Facebook account and reconnecting which creates a new profile.
