Node reference

Overview

Facebook Get Post is a Step (action) in Social › Facebook. Fetches a Facebook Page post by ID (text, permalink, created time).

When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Facebook Get Post against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.

Why use this node

Facebook Get Post is a action step in the Social › Facebook group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.

Typical reasons teams add Facebook Get Post to a flow:

  • Automate "Facebook Get Post" as part of a larger Joomla or WordPress workflow
  • Replace manual facebook work with a repeatable, logged flow step
  • Chain with triggers, logic, and messaging nodes on the same canvas

Example workflows

Common patterns on the canvas:

  1. Trigger or Webhook → upstream steps → Facebook Get Post → Send Email or CMS update
  2. Scheduled trigger → Facebook Get Post → Debug (while testing) → production action

How to set it up

Post ID on the Design tab.

Good to know

Requires pages_read_engagement on the Page access token.

Properties panel

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

TabPurpose
InfoPlain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps
GeneralCanvas label and read-only node ID
AIOptional assistant to help draft settings from plain language
DesignNode-specific configuration fields

System (automatic — not edited by the user)

These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

CMS site configuration (not on this node's properties panel)

Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.

Output payload fields

After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{facebook_get_post.success}}.

Field keyTypeDescription
successbooleanWhether the operation completed successfully.
postIdstringText value from this node's output.
textstringText value from this node's output.
createdTimestringText value from this node's output.
permalinkUrlstringText value from this node's output.
statusTypestringText value from this node's output.
messagestringHuman-readable status, error, or result summary.

Validation rules

  • Post ID (postId) must be filled before the flow can be saved.
