Connect Facebook to ClientRadar
ClientRadar scans Facebook groups through your own logged-in browser session — no relay, no password handover. Here's how to connect Facebook and confirm the radar is reading your groups.
ClientRadar finds leads in Facebook groups by reading the groups you already belong to, from your own logged-in browser session. There is no managed account, no exported cookie driving your profile from a server, and no password handover — if you are signed in to Facebook in Chrome, ClientRadar can read; if you log out, it stops. This is the core of the safety model.
Before you connect
Two things make Facebook scanning work:
- You’re logged in to Facebook in the same Chrome profile as ClientRadar. Open facebook.com, confirm you are signed in, and you are ready. ClientRadar borrows this session — it never asks for your password.
- You’ve joined the groups your clients use. ClientRadar reads groups you are a member of, the same way you would by scrolling them. If your prospective clients ask for recommendations in specific groups, join those groups so there is something for the radar to read.
Connect Facebook in four steps
- Sign in to Facebook in Chrome. In the same Chrome profile ClientRadar runs in, open facebook.com and make sure you are logged in.
- Join the right groups. Become a member of the groups where your clients ask for help. The more relevant groups you are in, the more the radar can find.
- Connect Facebook in ClientRadar. Open the Networks view, find Facebook, and connect it. ClientRadar uses your existing Facebook session to confirm access — there is no separate login inside ClientRadar.
- Confirm it’s healthy and pick your groups. Once connected, Facebook shows as healthy in Networks. Choose which groups to watch, save, and let scanning run across the day.
If Facebook drops or shows “needs reconnect”
Facebook sessions end sometimes — naturally over time, or if you log out of Facebook in another tab, on your phone, or on another device. When that happens ClientRadar shows needs reconnect for Facebook and pauses scanning there until you sign back in. It will not run silently returning nothing. To fix it, follow Fix: a platform needs reconnecting — usually just signing back in and returning to the ClientRadar tab.
If you have connected Facebook and joined the right groups but still see no leads, that is often keywords or timing rather than a fault — see Scanning isn’t finding any leads.
