When the utility opens, you can configure the following:

 

OptionDescription
Countdown For Next ReadBy default, Facebook Reader attempts to retrieve data every two (2) minutes.
 
The countdown frequency can be adjusted via File > Preferences; however, the minimum value must be one (1) minute or more to avoid having more incoming content data than a human can process.
Read Now Trigger an immediate data retrieval by clicking Read Now to bypass the countdown clock.
Review Facebook account statusYou can review all of the Facebook accounts configured via Flow, and review whether or not they are currently enabled.
File > Preferences 

The Facebook Reader utility must be configured to connect to your database. Connection and user authentication values would have been correctly configured during the initial installation. Use caution when modifying these values.

  From this dialog you also:

  • Test your connection to your database by clicking Test Connection. This can be a handy troubleshooting step.
  • Set the Reader Settings value, in seconds. You will not be able to set this value lower than 60 seconds.
Help > Open Today’s LogFacebook Reader generates a log file each time it goes out to search for posts. 
You can review this log file. Using the date and time, you can confirm that Facebook Reader is connecting and returning posts successfully.
