User must verify their account on www.facebook.com (405)

If you’re trying to connect your Facebook account with PilotPoster and getting this error,  that means Facebook is blocking PilotPoster from logging into your account.

This is a normal thing. When someone tried to log in to your Facebook account from different location, this happens as a safety measure because Facebook thinks someone is logging to your account without your permission.

In some locations, the login security is more rigorous than others. 

To resolve this issue, the best way is to generate access token on your local computer so you can get access token on your computer with your local IP and add it to PilotPoster to connect your account.

This would be possible to do with the PilotPoster Access Token Generator app.

Follow the steps to connect your Facebook account to PilotPoster:

1. Contact PilotPoster Support and let us know your operating system and we’ll send you the download link for the desktop application for your operating system.

It’s only provided to Paid customers to protect the system.

2. Open the desktop application and it should look something like this:

3. Enter your FB email address and password in respective fields and click the Generate Token button. It’ll generate your accounts access token in a few seconds.

4. Click the copy button or select the token from the box and copy it.

Note: Please do not share your access token with anyone. 

5. Go to PilotPoster App > Facebook > Manage Accounts and add the copied access token in the access token field as shown below.

After that, click on the Add Facebook account button and your account will be successfully added to your PilotPoster account.

There’s no need to panic when you come across this because it is due to an error in our API which we hope to rectify soon.

However, this can be easily fixed by simply using an external image source as explained in the Method 2, 3 and 4 of this article on how to add images to your post via Pilot Poster.

Note: You can upload images normally if you’re posting to just Facebook Groups and Profiles. This only affect the FAN PAGES.

To set up comments for your Posts follow the steps below;

1. Create your Comments: The first step requires you to create your comments. To do this, From Main Menu, go-to Auto Comment > New Comment. Create as many comments as you’ll like (Note: Make them as real as possible, so they don’t look like spam).

2. Schedule Comment: To schedule a comment, you need to visit your already scheduled Posts. From Main Menu, Posts > Scheduled Posts > Auto Comment

3. Plan your Schedule: The next screen requires you to plan your schedule. The following options are available when planning your comment schedule.

On this window, you can see the progress of a commenting schedule, you can Pause, restart and view comment history.

A successful comment will have the View Comment button, which will take you to the published comment on Facebook.

While a failed comment will be shown with the error code. The most common error code is (#200) Cannot Access Object ID which means the user does not have the permission to post comments to the post due to the post still PENDING or REMOVED.

Although we were able to find a temporary solution to this in Pilot Poster version 3, the reason why the link field customization was still available to users.

However, after upgrading our API version weeks ago (an upgrade required for a better performance of the system). Unfortunately, the Link Customization work around stopped performing as expected and many users, even after customizing a link, the changes will not reflect on the actual post on Facebook.

This led us to the decision of removing the Link customization fields in Pilot Poster version 3.5.

And in this guide, we’ll be showing you how you can still customize how your links are displayed on Facebook using on page OG (Open Graph) Meta Tags customization.

NOTE: This guide is for those who have access to the backend of the Page they’re sharing to Facebook
