Errors
Diagnose Facebook Page publishing errors using the exact response, current account and Page IDs, permission checks, and publication outcomes before retrying.
Common Facebook publishing errors and how to fix them. For the full error reference across all platforms, see Error Reference.
Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request (may also appear as "Could not upload video to Facebook: ...")
The request returned an error. The message does not establish a follower-count threshold, memory exhaustion, or an outage. It also does not prove the post is absent.
Check the Page and original submission through publication outcome diagnosis. Retain the response and request ID. Retry only after establishing no duplicate would result. Escalate repeated failures instead of changing the destination or media without evidence.
Could not upload video to Facebook: (#100) The global id xxxxxxx is not allowed for this call
The supplied ID was not accepted for the call. Check its identity and access, not only its spelling.
Retrieve the current account and Page IDs through the same Blotato credential. Confirm the Page belongs to the selected connection and the required permissions are present. A saved dropdown value is not proof the ID remains valid.
Error posting to Facebook: (#200) requires pages_read_engagement and pages_manage_posts permission (the full message may also mention "If posting to a group..." and "requires both pages_read_engagement and pages_manage_posts as an admin with sufficient administrative permission")
The error names required Page permissions. Blotato publishes to Pages, not Groups or personal profiles.
Confirm the intended Facebook identity has publishing access to the Page. Reconnect that identity and select the intended Page and permissions. If it still fails, retain the Page ID and response for support. Do not remove the integration as a routine next step. See Facebook connection diagnosis.
Wrong Page ID
Facebook requires both an Account ID and a Page ID.
Copy the Page ID using the "Copy Page ID" button in Accounts. Or use the official Blotato n8n/Make nodes to select the Page from a dropdown.
Could not upload video to Facebook: There was a problem uploading your video file
This upload failure does not identify a token conflict, invalid media, or another workspace as the cause.
Retain the exact underlying response, request ID, Page ID, and media URL. Check the original post's outcome and media requirements. Follow a credential-specific recovery only if the response identifies a credential error. See account and workspace diagnosis.
A message asking you to confirm or verify your identity before you can publish (the wording comes directly from Facebook)
The response requests an identity check on Facebook.
Complete the check through Facebook's own app or website while signed in as the Page's authorized user. Do not send identity documents to an assistant. Verify the original post's outcome before retrying from Posts > Failed or your automation.
