When you add the URL of a Facebook post into CoverageBook we'll embed that post directly in your report. If you're having trouble importing a clip it could be that the URL address isn't quite right. Where possible it's best to use the direct URL to the post.

Note: For Facebook clips we are only able to embed the post and provide blank metrics. Due to Facebook providing data in lots of different ways, depending on the type of post, we cannot retrieve the metric data for you.

Follow the steps below to get the direct URL for a Facebook post.

Click the 3 dots at the top of the post to open the dropdown menu, then choose "Embed".

Next choose Advanced settings...

Now you'll see the true URL of the post. Copy it and paste it into the Add Coverage box in CoverageBook.
