Explanation
Fix

Could not upload video to Facebook: Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request

Transient Facebook server-side error. Facebook returns this message when their servers are temporarily overloaded or out of memory.

1) Wait a few minutes. 2) Retry the post from Failed Postsarrow-up-right (web app) or re-run your automation step (n8n/Make). 3) If the error persists across multiple retries over an hour, submit a support ticket via in-app chat with the post ID and timestamp.

Could not upload video to Facebook: (#100) The global id xxxxxxx is not allowed for this call

Your Facebook Page ID is incorrect.

Use the official Blotato n8n/Make nodes -- select the Page from a dropdown instead of copying IDs manually. See: n8n Basics. If you are passing the Page ID manually, copy it from Settings > Social Accountsarrow-up-right using the "Copy Page ID" button.

Error posting to Facebook: (#200) requires pages_read_engagement and pages_manage_posts permission

Facebook Page permissions are incomplete or partially authorized.

1) Go to Settings > Social Accountsarrow-up-right. 2) Click Reconnect for your Facebook account. 3) In the Meta permissions popup, select "Opt in to current Pages only" and check each Page individually. 4) If the Page still fails, remove the Blotato app from Meta Business Suite (Settings > Accounts > Apps) and reconnect fresh. See: Facebook Connection Guide.

Wrong Page ID

Facebook requires both an Account ID and a Page ID.

Copy the Page ID using the "Copy Page ID" button in Settings > Social Accountsarrow-up-right. Or use the official Blotato n8n/Make nodes to select the Page from a dropdown.
