Facebook Pages Integration
In this article, we’ll integrate a Facebook Pages data source with Y42.
On our platform you can configure your Facebook Pages integration to query all the statistics of your Facebook page to combine this data with all your social media reports.
You can find the list of available dimensions and metrics for each report on Facebook Pages API documentation.

Updating your data
You have the option of scheduling Full imports or Incremental Imports by the month, weeks, days, and even by the hour. With the incremental import you will only add the new rows to that table, while a full import will actually re-import the entire table completely.
Incremental imports significantly increase the import speed, we import your table incrementally based on the last imported state e.g. id - If the table does not have a state, a full import will be triggered - This is done automatically.
We recommend therefore to schedule an incremental import regularly, but also schedule a full import with a certain frequency -- this is because only the full import will guarantee that old rows that have been updated on the data source will also get updated on your Y42 integration destination.
