How to Create and Manage Facebook Posts

Promoting your events on Facebook directly from the Hytix admin panel can help you engage with your audience and drive ticket sales. With the Facebook post functionality, you can share event details, ticket URLs, and more, allowing your followers to easily access your event and purchase tickets.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create and manage Facebook posts from your Hytix admin account.

Step 1: Connect Your Facebook Account to Hytix

To begin, you'll need to connect your Facebook account to Hytix so that you can create posts on your Facebook pages.

1. Navigate to the Integration Settings
   Go to Settings > Integration in your Hytix admin panel.
2. Connect Your Facebook Account
   Scroll to the bottom of the page, where you'll find the Facebook option. Click on the Connect button.
   
   
3. Login to Facebook
    A Facebook login page will appear. Log in to your Facebook account.
   
4. Grant Access to Your Facebook Pages
   After logging in, Facebook will prompt you to grant Hytix access to your Facebook pages. You’ll be presented with two options:
   • Option 1: Opt in to all current and future pages.
   • Option 2: Opt in to current pages only.
     We recommend selecting Option 1 to ensure all current and future pages you create on Facebook are automatically linked to your Hytix account.
     
     
5. Save the Settings
   After selecting your preferred option, click Continue, review the permissions, and click Save to confirm.
   Once your account is successfully connected, you will see a success message, and you can click Got It to proceed.
