Describe the problem/error/question
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to connect Facebook/Instagram publishing in n8n using my own Facebook Graph API app credentials, but I keep getting this error during OAuth:
OAuth "Facebook Platform" "insufficient_scope" "(#200) The permission(s) publish_actions are not available. It has been deprecated."
My current scopes are:
- pages_show_list
- business_management
- instagram_basic
- instagram_manage_comments
- instagram_manage_insights
- instagram_content_publish
- instagram_manage_messages
- page_events
- pages_read_engagement
- pages_read_user_content
- pages_manage_posts
- pages_manage_engagement
- instagram_branded_content_brand
- instagram_branded_content_creator
- instagram_branded_content_ads_brand
- instagram_manage_upcoming_events
I already removedpublish_actionsfrom my Meta app scopes, so I’m confused why n8n still seems to request it.
Things I already tried: - Recreating credentials
- Reconnecting Meta account
- Using latest scopes
- Creating a new Meta app
Is the Facebook node in n8n still internally requestingpublish_actionssomewhere?
Would using an HTTP Request node with Graph API be the recommended workaround now?
Thanks!
What is the error message (if any)?
