NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED

Support for the facebook module was removed in version 11.7.2.4

Playlist management is integrated into the Facebook module for convenience. In a multiple person workflow, where dedicated resources moderate posts and different resources build and manage playlists, the Facebook Playlists module offers a straightforward way to delegate work per role or resource to assemble content for broadcast.

You can create and manage your Facebook playlists in Flow. From the Home page, select Content Control > Facebook Playlists.

 Click here to see an example of the screen.

  2. Create a new playlist or select an existing playlist from the list.
