Reconnecting an expired Facebook or Instagram login

Facebook logins expire from time to time (password change, security review, or simply age). When that happens the account shows Expired in Channels, and the assistant + publishing stop for that page until you reconnect.

  1. Open Channels.

/accounts

  1. Find the card with the Expired status.
  2. Press its reconnect/connect button and log in to Facebook again.
  3. Approve ALL permissions. When Facebook asks which Pages to use, tick every page you use with nashir — not just the one that stopped working.
  4. The status returns to "Connected" — replies and publishing resume automatically.

> ⚠️ If you have more than one page, this step decides everything. Facebook > replaces your previous selection instead of adding to it, so any page you leave > unticked is disconnected immediately — even if it is working right now. Reconnect > once with all your pages ticked; do not repair them one at a time, or each > reconnect will break the page you fixed before it.

Tip: the Account Health page warns you the moment a login expires.
