Integrating More than One Page

Note: This step is only applicable if you have more than one account with Blazeo (formerly ApexChat) as we don’t allow integrating more than one Facebook page to a single Apex account.

The method of integrating more than one page associated with a single Facebook account is not any different, you will be provided with a separate link for each of your Apex accounts to integrate the relevant page with it.

For the first page, the method is the same as the integration of a single page. For the remaining pages, the process is almost the same except that at the second step  (after going to the given link of that account), you need to click on the edit settings button this time as shown below:

Fb Integration

On the next screen, please make sure that any pages that are already checked should be left as checked. Just check the page you’re integrating this time i.e. the Marketing page in the below example and the rest of the process is the same:

FB Integration

Removing Facebook page integration from one Account and integrating the same page with another Account

If for any reason you need to disconnect your Facebook page from one of your Accounts and connect it with another.

You will be provided with 2 links/URLs. One for the old account and the other for the new one (where you want to integrate).

First, go to the old account URL and follow the “Canceling your Integration” steps.

Then, go to the new account URL and follow the single page “Facebook Integration” steps.

Integrating your chat widget with Facebook Page is this easy. This allows chats from your business’s Facebook page to land directly on your messaging dashboard quickly and easily – meaning no more missed leads or opportunities due to slow response times or disorganized communication channels between customers and staff members.
