Overview

Connecting locations and networks to PinMeTo is a process that is needed in order to use the PinMeTo product features for each network.

When you receive a red banner stating that you need to reconnect a network on the top of the PinMeTo Places main page, it means that the mentioned directory was disconnected for some reason and the connection process needs to be redone.

It’s important to keep in mind that to connect or reconnect any of the networks, you need to have an Owner role in the PinMeTo Platform.

To reconnect locations and networks, you can click the Reconnect button in the red banner, or follow the normal connection process, described below.

Step 1: Locate your active/inactive network connections

To navigate to your location connection status, you have to:

1. Click the grid icon ( ⫶⫶⫶ ) in the top right corner and select Account Settings.

Connecting & Posting to Standalone Pages on Facebook

In PinMeTo Posts, you can also connect Individual (standalone) Pages that aren't included in your Facebook location structure. This allows you to post content to those pages as well, providing greater flexibility for businesses with brand pages that operate independently of their location pages.

Take, for example, the made-up home goods retailer "Home Haven," with local stores in a Facebook location structure. They can now efficiently manage posts for both their store pages and their separate "Home Haven Decor" and "Home Haven DIY" inspiration pages using Posts.
