Known Issue:

If you are using Meta Business manager, you might encounter difficulties with the Facebook integration with Connect. Specifically, the problem affect merchants who are both the owners of the Facebook page and Meta Business Manager. 

Users with relevant permissions, other than ownership of the Meta Business Manager, can successfully integrate Facebook with Connect without encountering any issues.

In the interim, if you are experiencing this problem, we recommend assigning access to your employee or a trusted family member who can connect to the Facebook page from their account. By doing so, you can circumvent the current issue and continue the integration with Facebook seamlessly. Our dedicated team is actively investigating this issue to identify its root cause and implement a resolution promptly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the matter.
