This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Manual Stickynote Import Webhook n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   # How to Get Long-Lived Facebook User and Page Access Tokens Using n8n
   
   Managing Facebook integrations often requires handling expiring user access tokens. For developers and digital marketers automating their social media tasks, long-lived Facebook User and Page access tokens are essential. This article explains how to create an n8n workflow that fetches these tokens from the Facebook Graph API in a secure and automated manner.
   
   n8n is a powerful open-source workflow automation tool that enables users to connect various services and APIs with no-code or low-code logic. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through a workflow that handles Facebook OAuth token exchanges and extracts a long-lasting token for both user and business (page) use cases.
   
   ## Why Use Long-Lived Tokens?
   
   Facebook’s default short-lived tokens (usually lasting 1–2 hours) aren't suitable for long-running applications, especially when you don’t want to prompt users to log in frequently. Long-lived tokens last up to 60 days and are necessary when building automated publishing tools, integrations, or customer support bots.
   
   ## Workflow Overview
   
   The n8n workflow we’ll explore includes the following major steps:
   1. Manually trigger the workflow for testing.
   2. Set required Facebook parameters.
   3. Request a long-lived user access token.
   4. Retrieve a long-lived Page access token using the user token.
   
   Let’s break down each step and see how they function in the n8n environment.
   
   ---
   
   ## Step 1: Trigger Workflow Manually
   
   Node: **When clicking ‘Test workflow’**
   
   This is a manual trigger node that allows you to test the workflow directly from within the n8n editor interface. This is useful for testing before setting up a scheduled or webhook-based trigger.
   
   ---
   
   ## Step 2: Set Required Facebook Parameters
   
   Node: **Set Parameter**
   
   Here, the workflow defines the core parameters required for the Facebook Graph API exchange:
   
   - `client_id`: Your Facebook App ID
   - `client_secret`: Your Facebook App Secret
   - `user_access_token`: The short-lived token you received via authentication
   - `app_scoped_user_id`: Optionally used to reference a specific user’s Page
   
   These are entered manually in this node for the example but can be dynamically injected from other parts of your tech stack for production use.
   
   ---
   
   ## Step 3: Request Long-Lived Facebook User Token
   
   Node: **Get Long Lived FB User Token**
   
   This step calls the Facebook Graph API’s OAuth endpoint to convert the short-lived `user_access_token` into a long-lived version.
   
   **Endpoint Used:**
   ```
   https://graph.facebook.com/v20.0/oauth/access_token
   ```
   
   **Query Parameters:**
   - `grant_type=fb_exchange_token`
   - `client_id`
   - `client_secret`
   - `fb_exchange_token` (short-lived user token)
   
   This call returns a JSON response containing a new long-lived user access token, increasing your integration's reliability.
   
   ---
   
   ## Step 4: Retrieve Long-Lived Page Token
   
   Node: **Get Long Lived FB Page Token**
   
   Once you’ve received the long-lived user token, you can request Page access tokens—used for managing and posting to Facebook Pages.
   
   **Endpoint:**
   ```
   https://graph.facebook.com/v20.0/{app_scoped_user_id}/accounts
   ```
   
   **Query Parameter:**
   - `access_token`: Newly generated long-lived user token
   
   The response contains details about the Pages the user manages, including access tokens specific to each page.
   
   ---
   
   ## Tips and Considerations
   
   - Ensure that the app you're using has the required permissions (e.g., `pages_show_list`, `pages_read_engagement`, etc.).
   - Rotate and refresh access tokens periodically, especially before they expire.
   - Never commit your `client_secret` or real access tokens into publicly visible codebases or repositories.

   ## Facebook API Reference
   
   This workflow closely follows the guide provided by Facebook in their developer documentation:
   [Get a Long-Lived Access Token — Facebook Login Docs](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/guides/access-tokens/get-long-lived/)
   
   ---
   
   ## Conclusion
   
   By using n8n to automate the exchange of Facebook short-lived tokens for long-lived user and page tokens, you streamline your Facebook app’s authentication flow. This not only improves reliability but also reduces the need for manual token refreshes regularly.
   
   Whether you are building a content scheduling tool, automating insights gathering, or adding messaging features, this workflow ensures your app stays seamlessly connected to the Facebook Graph API.
   
   n8n shines as a flexible automation platform that makes sophisticated tasks like OAuth token management accessible to both developers and no-code enthusiasts.
   
   Looking to go further? You can build on top of this to update Page posts, retrieve comments, and even trigger actions based on audience engagement—entirely through n8n!
   
   Stay automated and stay connected!

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
