Facebook is an online social networking service that enables its users to connect with friends and family.

Use the Facebook Connector
Add the facebook connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the facebook API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton")
module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
const facebook = this.connector(
'facebook',
'connector-id')
const response = yield facebook.get('path_to_API')
const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
yield facebook.post('path_to_API', params)
})The Zenaton Engine
We handle the complexity of orchestrating Facebook API calls and related logic in your code.
Out of the Box API Call
Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.
Automatic Retries & Alerting
If your Facebook API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed Facebook API calls.
Integrate Facebook into your application logic
The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the Facebook API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.
// The Zenaton engine orchestrates facebook API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// facebook authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("ParallelWorkflow", function* () {
const facebook = this.connector(
'facebook',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// execute parallel tasks handled automatically by the Zenaton engine
const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
if (a > b) {
const response = yield facebook.get('path_to_API');
} else {
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
}
});
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// facebook authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("AsynchronousWorkflow", function* () {
const facebook = this.connector(
'facebook',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
this.run.task('TaskA');
this.facebook.post('path_to_API');
yield run.task('TaskB');
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
});
// Tasks can be automatically (or manually) retried and executions are displayed in real-time on the Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
// facebook authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("WaitWorkflow", function* () {
const facebook = this.connector(
'facebook',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
// The 'wait function is managed by the Zenaton engine and will be executed on your worker at the right time.
yield this.wait.for(duration.days(7));
yield facebook.get('path_to_API');
});
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
const facebook = this.connector(
'facebook',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
if (event) {
// If event has been triggered within 24 hours
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
} else {
// else calls facebook API
yield facebook.get('path_to_API');
}
}
});
