Hi Logesh

It seems like there is some issue related to permission.

I suspect permission is not setup correctly to post using Graph API.

I struggled in the beginning too and then I found this helpful video.

Please try steps mentioned in the video.

I am sure it would work for you.

Thank you.

Found the solution: below are the details

How to Fix the Error

You need to generate and use a dedicated Page Access Token. Here’s a comparison of the token types and the steps to get the correct one:

Token Type	Purpose & Use Case
User Access Token	Accessing data on behalf of a user, like their profile or posts.
Page Access Token	Required for managing a Facebook Page—posting, replying to comments, etc.

1. Get a User Access Token: First, you need a User Access Token from the user who is an admin of the Page. Ensure this token has the manage_pages and publish_pages permissions.

2. Generate the Page Access Token: Use your User Access Token to make a Graph API request to get the Page Access Token.

   • Endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/v23.0/``<YOUR_PAGE_ID>?fields=access_token&access_token=<YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN>.

   • Replace <YOUR_PAGE_ID> with your Facebook Page’s numeric ID and <YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN> with the token from step 1.

3. Use the New Token in n8n: In your n8n workflow, create a new Facebook Graph API credential or update the existing one. Paste the Page Access Token you just generated into the “Access Token” field.
