Social Post Approval

Controlled social publishing with manager approval and remote removal sync

Social Post Approval adds a simple review workflow to your Odoo Social Marketing process. Users can request approval before publishing, managers can approve or reject posts, and published content can be removed from the social platform when the related live post is deleted in Odoo.

1. Enable Approval and Auto Delete

Open Social Marketing Settings and enable the options your team needs:

  • Post Approval: require users to request manager approval before publishing social posts.
  • Remote Removal Sync: try to remove published content from the social platform when the related Odoo live post is deleted.

This keeps publishing controlled while still allowing your team to manage content directly from Odoo.

2. Request, Review, and Approve Posts

Request approval for a social post in Odoo

When approval is enabled, regular social users can prepare a post and click Request Approval instead of publishing immediately.

  • The post moves to the To Approve status.
  • A manager activity is created automatically.
  • Only Social Marketing managers can approve and publish the requested post.

Managers can open the post, review the content, and choose whether to Approve and Post or Reject it. All approval changes are tracked in the chatter for clear accountability.

3. Automatic Remote Removal

With Remote Removal Sync enabled, deleting a related live post in Odoo can also trigger a removal request to the supported social platform.

  • Keep Odoo and the social platform aligned.
  • Reduce manual cleanup after removing published content.
  • Centralize post lifecycle management inside Odoo.

This feature depends on provider support and the access permissions available for the connected social account.

Facebook Pages Connector Setup Guide

This short guide explains how to connect your Facebook Pages to Odoo using the d_social_facebook module.

1. Create Facebook Developer App

  1. Go to Facebook for Developers https://developers.facebook.com/
  2. Create or select a Business app.
  3. In Products, add Facebook Login for Business (used for both Facebook Pages and Instagram).

Example:

Facebook for Developers app dashboard

2. Configure OAuth Callback URL

  1. In your app, go to Facebook Login for Business > Settings.

  2. In Valid OAuth Redirect URIs, add your Odoo callback URL:

    https://your-odoo-domain.com/social_facebook/authentication

  3. Click Save.

Example configuration:

Configure Facebook OAuth Redirect URI for Odoo

3. Get App ID and App Secret

  1. Go to Settings > Basic in the Facebook app.
  2. Copy App ID and App Secret.
  3. These values will be used in Odoo configuration.

4. Switch App to Live and Request Review

For development you can test with the app in Development mode, but posts created via API may be visible only to developers/testers.

For real production usage:

  1. Go to App Review > Requests.
  2. Request the required permissions for Facebook Pages publishing (for example: pages_manage_posts, pages_read_engagement, pages_show_list).
  3. Once approved, switch the app from Development to Live mode.

Without this step, posts may remain private or only visible to selected roles.

5. Configure in Odoo

  1. Log in to Odoo as administrator.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Find the Social Marketing or Facebook section.
  4. Enter:
    • Facebook App ID: the App ID from Facebook
    • Facebook App Secret: the App Secret from Facebook
  5. Save the settings. Odoo will show the redirect URL, which must match the URL you configured in Facebook.

Example in Odoo:

Configure Facebook App ID and Secret in Odoo

6. Link Facebook Page Account

  1. Go to Social Marketing > Social Media.
  2. Open the Facebook media record.
  3. Click Link Account.
  4. You will be redirected to Facebook Login.
  5. Log in with the Facebook user that manages your Pages.
  6. Accept requested permissions and select the Pages you want to connect.
  7. Confirm and return to Odoo. The selected Page(s) will now appear as social accounts.

Example:

Link Facebook Page account in Odoo

7. Create and Publish Posts

  1. Go to Social Marketing > Social Posts.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Enter:
    • Message (text content)
    • Optional Image/Video
    • Select one or more Facebook accounts
  4. Choose Post Now or schedule a future date.
  5. Click Post to publish from Odoo to Facebook.

Example of creating a Facebook post:

Create Facebook post from Odoo

8. View Live Posts and Comments

  1. Go to Social Marketing > Live Posts.
  2. Open a Facebook post to see its status, reach, reactions, and comments.
  3. Use the Engagements or Comments button to:
    • View synchronized comments
    • Reply to comments directly from Odoo
    • Like or unlike comments

Changes are sent back to Facebook through the Graph API.

Example live post view:

9. Basic Troubleshooting

OAuth error or redirect mismatch

  • Make sure the URL in social_facebook/authentication exactly matches the value in Facebook app settings (including https and domain).

Posts not visible to public

  • Check that your app is in Live mode and required permissions have been approved in App Review.

Cannot see Pages when linking account

  • Verify the Facebook user has admin access to the Page.
  • Re-run the Link Account flow and make sure you check all requested permissions.
