Do the Facebook Connectors Support Two-factor Authentication?

Question

Does Fivetran's Facebook connectors support Facebook's two-factor authentication?

Environment

• Facebook Ads
• Facebook Pages
• Instagram Business

Answer

Fivetran does not explicitly support Facebook's two-factor authentication.

If you are using two-factor authentication on your Facebook account,

• Facebook's two-factor authentication is not triggered when you create a new connector from the Fivetran dashboard and click Authorize.

• Two-factor authentication is triggered when you click Re-Authorize Connection to re-authorize the connector. You will receive a two-factor authentication code. Enter the code to complete two-factor authentication through the Facebook app.

NOTE: A system user token expires after 60 days of inaction. If you do not pause your API token for more than two months, your Facebook API token should not expire.

Cause

Re-authorizing the connectors in the setup form.
