I followed the directions on facebook to add my app (which is a tab) to my fanpage:

"Facebook Page administrators can add your app directly to their Page by navigating to the following URL: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL, where YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_URL can be found in your app settings."

But I got this message:

"This application does not support integration with your profile."

The names of the app and page are not exactly the same. But the name of the app has a "-" in the name - a fan page name cannot have a "-" in the name, so I cannot rename it to the same name.

What can I do? Who can help me?

  • are you sure that you substituted the correct `APP_ID` and `NEXT` parameters for that URL? – Lix Jan 26 '12 at 12:47

If you want to add an app to your fanpage you need to fill in the "Page Tab" section With your site url

It sounds like your app isn't configured to actually provide a page tab - check the 'Page Tab' section of your app's settings to make sure you've configured it correctly.

    There is no longer a 'Page Tab' section of your app settings – user1380540 May 01 '14 at 18:52

    Are you sure? there is for my apps - click 'Add Platform' - 'Page Tab' if your app hasn't already got settings for a page tab integration – Igy May 01 '14 at 20:07

    I've made a blog post about my whole ordeal if anyone will find it helpful: http://visionsofsplendor.tumblr.com/post/84453644133/creating-a-facebook-page-tab-app-a-lot-more-difficult – user1380540 May 02 '14 at 15:13
  • You may also find this document useful: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ – Igy May 02 '14 at 22:30
  • I didn't include this doc in my blog post because it's pretty much useless. It has Steps A and B and kind of misses and important part in the middle. – user1380540 May 04 '14 at 21:13

Facebook has recently made changes to its developer interface and specially the App Dashboard. Hence it might be a bit tricky to find out how to configure the Page Tab. Refer the following tutorial - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/

  • This page hasn't been updated in a while either. See where it says to upload your page tab image - that is no longer done in the same area. – user1380540 May 01 '14 at 18:52

Go to your App Settings, then Basic and add a platform as page tab. Provide a URL with https, even if you don't have it, just to test. Then run this page and you can successfully add your app to the page tab.
