Before you begin

To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Facebook Page Insights to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:

    • Client OAuth login is enabled.

    • Web OAuth login is enabled.

    • One or more OAuth redirect URIs are present for Amazon AppFlow. Each of these URIs has the following form:

      https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth

      In this URI, region is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from the Marketing API. For example, if you use Amazon AppFlow in the US East (N. Virginia) region, the URI is https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth.

      For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, see Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your Facebook Page Insights account

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your Facebook account, provide the app credentials from your Meta for Developers app so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured an app for Amazon AppFlow integration, see Before you begin.

To connect to Facebook Page Insights

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Connections.

  3. On the Manage connections page, for Connectors, choose Facebook Page Insights.

  4. Choose Create connection.

  5. In the Connect to Facebook Page Insights window, enter the following information:

    • Client ID – The app ID from your Meta for Developers app.

    • Client secret – The app secret from your Meta for Developers app.

  6. Optionally, under Data encryption, choose Customize encryption settings (advanced) if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

    By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead.

    Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see Data protection in Amazon AppFlow.

    If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under Choose an AWS KMS key. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.

  7. For Connection name, enter a name for your connection.

  8. Choose Continue.

  9. In the window that appears, sign in to your Facebook account, and grant access to Amazon AppFlow.

On the Manage connections page, your new connection appears in the Connections table. When you create a flow that uses Facebook Page Insights as the data source, you can select this connection.
