Facebook Analytics
Hello,
Is there a way i can get analytics of my Facebook page in Power BI desktop? If I connect to my Facebook page (via. Facebook connector) in Power BI desktop, would it generate reports/dashboard automatically about my Facebook page activities, likes, feed & posts etc.. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Kiran

HemalThis only connects to personal Facebook data since Facebook no longer allows a business login.
Hopefully they'll find a way to connect to the ads amanger or something. Pretty useless at the moment since I'm not interested in reporting on my personal Facebook activity. :)
Hello, gmbylsma. The integration between Power BI and Facebook Insights API doesn't work? I had the same problem here, and I can't find any useful answer for this question. Everybody stay focusing on personal data or basic metrics, but I need Facebook Business Manager metrics. Do you have the same problem? :smileyhappy:

Hi kumarmanchala,
After you connect to Facebook from Power BI Desktop, it will not generate reports/dashboard automatically about your Facebook page activities, likes, feed & posts etc. You would need to create reports manually in Power BI Desktop and publish the Power BI Desktop file to Power BI Service. In Power BI Service, you can create dashboard for these reports.
Besides, about how to create different Facebook reports, you can take a look at the examples in the following links.

Lydia ZhangHi Lydia,
I tried connecting to facebook, but it generates only 4 fields like id, message, story. I missed so many fields as per the below link and not sure is there any setting to be done to get all the fields.

ThimmaHi ,
Even I was trying to do the same functionality( trying to connect my FB account to power BI desktop) as per the below link
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-tutorial-facebook-analytics/
however, I am also getting only 4 fields( story,messages,created_time,id), what about the other colums that are shown uo in the tutorial?
in one of the youtube videos of Power BI , i witnessed that these options were available in v2.2 however with version v2.8 these are not available,is my understanding correct?
what is the fix to this issue?

Yes, You can do that. There are quite a few dashboards on the data stories gallery for you to get an idea what is possible.
hey, it's actually seperate, there is a connector for facebook page insights, i know that windsor.ai offers one, and you ll be able to create a dashboard and automate it.
