Process

Create a Workplace Custom Integration

   2. In the "New token created" dialog, copy and save the token for a later step.
   3. Check the "I Understand" box and click Done.

   4. Click Save.
3. Optional Step - Customize the Integration: 
   1. In the Integrations Details menu on the left, click Details.
   2. In the Integrations Details section at the top, click the pencil icon next to "Name, logo, description" to upload Socialive's logo (download here).
   3. Click Save.

Note: This custom integration is subject to Workplace by Meta deactivation policy terms, which will deactivate the integration if no activity has been recorded for 60 days.

Connecting Workplace to Socialive

1. In Socialive, click your initials to open the Settings menu.
   
2. In the Settings menu, click Integrations.
3. On the Integrations page, click Add Integration.
   
4. Click Workplace.
   
5. Give the integration a name (or use the default one) and click Save. Giving each integration a specific title may be useful when creating integrations of the same type for different departments.
   
6. Click New Authentication.
   
7. Enter a name for your new authentication.
   
8. Enter the Access Token you copied and saved in earlier steps and paste the App Secret (found in the Integrations Details section).
   
9. Click Create.
10. A notification will appear to confirm the authentication was successfully created. Click Next.
    
11. Enter the Target ID of the Group folder you would like to post videos to. To find this value, navigate to the Workplace group's folder page and inspect the URL in the address bar. The ID is the last set of numbers in the URL after the last forward slash (/). For example, in this URL mycompany.workplace.com/groups/123456789876543, the Target ID is 123456789876543.
    
12. Click Finish to complete the setup. Now you can send Socialive recordings to Workplace.
