Schedulista's integration with Facebook allows you to add a Book Now button to your Facebook business page to make it easier for clients to book with you. The button will appear on the web and in the Facebook mobile app.
You can add a new button to your page or edit an existing button. You can also add the button through Facebeook on the web.

Requirements
The Book Now button requires a Facebook/Meta business account. This includes a Facebook business page, a Facebook/Meta Ads account, and a Facebook/Meta Pixel to track conversions through ads.
A business account was set up when you created your Facebook business page.
While connecting your Schedulista account to the Book Now button, Facebook will ask you to select the Facebook/Meta business page, Ads account, and Pixel associated with the login email address for your Facebook account. If you do not have these setup yet, it will ask you to create a Facebook/Meta Ads account for this purpose.
Changing the associated Facebook/Meta business account
If you need to change the Facebook/Meta business account associated with your login email address after it has been selected, you will need to contact Meta support for assistance. To contact Meta support, visit your business account through the Meta Business Suite manager here: https://business.facebook.com
Click Help on the bottom left of the page. Select Help from the menu that appears. A new panel will appear on the right side of the page. Click the Contact support team button in the panel to send a message to support through Facebook/Meta Messenger.
Another helpful tool might be the Facebook Ads Manager. Click here for general assistance on Facebook/Meta advertising.
Note: If you have an Instagram business profile associated with your Facebook/Meta business account, it will auto connect to the Instagram profile as well when setting up the Book Now button. This will still require you to add/select the Book Now button on your Instagram profile.
