Import Facebook Pages at /connect/meta to enable Page-as-source ads and Instagram placements. Linked Instagram surfaces via the Page.

Manage Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts

At /connect/meta → Pages toggle which Facebook Pages to import into Wevion. Imported Pages enable Page-as-source ads (ads using your Page's identity) and Instagram placements (since Instagram accounts are linked through Pages). Quota counts against your plan's max_fan_pages.

Who is this for

Mediabuyers who need to:

• Run ads sourced from a specific Facebook Page (branded ads)
• Place ads on Instagram (Reels, Stories, Feed)
• Track Page-level engagement metrics

Why "Fan Pages"

Facebook's API historically called these "Fan Pages" — Wevion's DB model is meta_fan_page. Today Facebook just calls them "Pages". Same thing.

Before you start

• Meta connector set up (meta-101)
• Connected Meta user has Admin, Editor, Advertiser, or Analyst role on the Page (in Meta Business Manager)
• The Page exists in a Business Manager you imported (business_management scope — see meta-102)

How to import a Page

Step 1: Open the Pages section

At /connect/meta, scroll to Pages. The list shows all Pages accessible via your connected Meta users:

Step 2: Toggle ON

Click toggle. Backend creates meta_fan_page row with connected: true. Sync pulls Page metadata + linked IG handle within 15 min.

Step 3: Use the Page in a campaign

When you launch a Sales/Engagement/Traffic campaign in Campaign Creator, the Page field appears (you pick which imported Page is the source of the ad). For Instagram-only placements, the Page must have a linked IG account in Meta — verify the IG column in the Pages list.

Instagram via Page link

Wevion does not connect to Instagram directly. Instagram accounts surface in Wevion through their linked Facebook Page:

1. In Meta Business Suite: link your IG account to your Page (Meta-side setup, one-time)
2. Once linked, the Page in Wevion's Pages list shows the IG handle in the Linked Instagram column
3. When you create an ad with that Page selected, Instagram placements (Stories, Reels, Feed, Explore) become available

If a Page has no linked IG, ads from that Page run only on Facebook placements.

Page roles and what Wevion can do

Page roles are set in Meta Business Manager, not in Wevion. To change a role, update in Meta — Wevion respects the new role on next sync.

Disconnect a Page

Toggle OFF. Backend sets connected: false. Sync stops; the Page is no longer selectable in Campaign Creator. Existing campaigns that use this Page continue running unaffected.

Historical data preserved (you can still view past Page-as-source ad performance).

Quota and limits

Your plan defines max_fan_pages. The counter sums all connected: true Pages. NULL on Enterprise/Demo = unlimited. See acc-112 for full quota model.

Page-level insights

Wevion pulls basic Page metadata + linked IG. For deep Page insights (post reach, organic engagement, audience demographics), use Meta Business Suite directly — Wevion focuses on the paid side.

What you'll see

After importing Pages:

• Pages list shows green badge per imported Page
• Page count visible in the Pages section header
• Campaign Creator's Page selector lists all imported Pages
• Instagram placements available for Pages with linked IG

Common issues

• "Page not appearing in import list": your Meta user lacks Page access. Ask the Page admin to grant Editor or Advertiser role in Meta Business Manager.
• "Linked Instagram missing for a Page": IG account not linked Meta-side. In Meta Business Suite: Settings → Linked Accounts → Connect Instagram.
• "Instagram placements grayed out in Campaign Creator": selected Page has no linked IG. Pick a Page with IG, or link IG to the current Page first (Meta-side).
• "Cannot import — quota exceeded": at max_fan_pages limit. Disconnect an unused Page or upgrade plan.
• "Page status: Unpublished" in import list: Page is not active in Meta. Publish in Meta Business Suite first.
• "Role change in Meta not reflected": 15-min sync delay. Refresh after one cycle.

Pages and posts vs Pages and ads

Wevion handles the paid ads side of Pages. We don't manage organic posts, page replies, content scheduling. For organic content: use Meta Business Suite directly. Both work alongside each other — your Page is one object, used by Wevion for ads and by Meta Business Suite for organic.

FAQ

Why do I need to import a Facebook Page into Wevion?

Importing a Page at /connect/meta → Pages enables Page-as-source ads — ads using your Page's identity and branding — and Instagram placements like Reels, Stories, and Feed. Since Instagram accounts are linked through Facebook Pages, importing the Page is also how Wevion surfaces your Instagram inventory. Toggle a Page ON and Wevion creates a meta_fan_page record.

How does Instagram connect to Wevion?

Wevion does not connect to Instagram directly. Instagram accounts surface through their linked Facebook Page: link your IG account to the Page in Meta Business Suite (one-time), and once linked the Page's Linked Instagram column in Wevion shows the IG handle. Selecting that Page in Campaign Creator then makes Instagram placements available.

Why are Instagram placements grayed out in Campaign Creator?

The selected Page has no linked Instagram account. Either pick a Page that already shows an IG handle in the Pages list, or link an IG account to your current Page on the Meta side first (Meta Business Suite → Settings → Linked Accounts → Connect Instagram). Pages with no linked IG run ads only on Facebook placements.

Does disconnecting a Page stop my running campaigns?

No. Toggling a Page OFF sets connected: false and stops sync, and the Page is no longer selectable in Campaign Creator, but existing campaigns that use it continue running unaffected. Historical data is preserved too, so you can still view past Page-as-source ad performance.

What counts toward my Fan Page quota?

Wevion counts all connected: true Pages against your plan's max_fan_pages limit, which is NULL (unlimited) on Enterprise and Demo plans. If you hit the limit you'll see a "Cannot import — quota exceeded" message; disconnect an unused Page or upgrade your plan to import more.

Steps

1. At /connect/meta, scroll to Pages. The list shows all Pages accessible via your connected Meta users: | Column | What it shows | |---|---| | Page name | Display name from Facebook | | Page ID | Meta's Page identifier | | Category | Facebook's Page category (e.g. Brand, Local Business) | | Followers | Page follower count (snapshot, refreshed weekly) | | Linked Instagram | IG handle if a professional IG account is linked to this Page in Meta | | Your role | Your role on the Page (Admin / Editor / Advertiser / Analyst) | | Wevion | Toggle to import |
2. Click toggle. Backend creates metafanpage row with connected: true. Sync pulls Page metadata + linked IG handle within 15 min.
3. When you launch a Sales/Engagement/Traffic campaign in Campaign Creator, the Page field appears (you pick which imported Page is the source of the ad). For Instagram-only placements, the Page must have a linked IG account in Meta — verify the IG column in the Pages list.
