Before you connect any tool to your Facebook and Instagram accounts, you should understand what it is asking for and why. A comment moderation tool works through official Meta OAuth and the Graph API, and the permissions it requests map directly to the features you use.
Why these permissions exist
- Reading comments on your Pages and Instagram Business Accounts, so they can appear in your inbox.
- Managing those comments: hiding, replying to, and deleting them on your behalf.
- Reading basic Page and Instagram account metadata so the tool knows what you can connect.
What connection looks like
You authorize with your Facebook profile, approve the requested permissions, and then choose which Pages and Instagram Business Accounts to protect. Access tokens are stored encrypted, and you can revoke access from Meta at any time.
What it does not do
A focused moderation tool does not need your password, does not post to your timeline unprompted, and starts processing new comments after connection. It does not reach back into your comment history.
