NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED

Support for the facebook module was removed in version 11.7.2.4

To access the Facebook module in Flow, from the Home page, select Content Control > Facebook.

Once you have specified a topic, you can add, modify, and delete account searches for Facebook content. A single topic can contain an unlimited number of searches. Each search retrieves posts individually and all searches together return posts for the topic. The more searches you add, the more posts your searches may return for you to moderate, manage, and output.

Tip: When you create a new topic, the Search dialog opens automatically to make creating your first search for that topic convenient.
