🔧 Solutions to try

|-----------|-----------|
| **Personal profile post** | ✅ Yes |
| **Facebook page post** | ✅ Yes |

## What happens when I click the button?

📋 Addition process

When you click the button:

1. **Post is registered as source** in Novalya
   - Post URL saved
   - Available interaction type identified

2. **No message is sent** at this stage
   - You're only adding a source
   - Prospecting starts only when you launch a campaign

3. **No profile is stored** immediately
   - Profiles who interacted aren't downloaded
   - Scan happens when launching campaign

**💡 Advantage:** Interactions stay up to date. When you launch your campaign, Novalya scans people who interacted at that moment.

---

---

## Important: interaction type choice

When configuring your campaign, you'll need to choose the type of interaction to target.

⚠️ One interaction per campaign

| Interaction type | Description |
|------------------|-------------|
| **Likes only** | Prospect people who liked the post |
| **Comments only** | Prospect people who commented on the post |

**Important:** It's not possible** to prospect likes AND comments simultaneously on the same campaign.

**💡 Solution to target both:**
- Create two separate campaigns**:
  - Campaign 1: Targets likes
  - Campaign 2: Targets comments

---

---

## Verifying successful addition

Once the post is added:

✅ Visual confirmation

- Post appears in your Novalya **sources list**
- Post URL is displayed
- You can now create a campaign on this source

---

---

---

💬 Prospecting COMMENTS

**Advantages:**

- Posts with questions
- Debates or discussions
- Advice requests

---

---

## Usage examples

Example 1: Fitness coach

**Targeted post:** "5 mistakes blocking your weight loss"
- 250 likes
- 45 comments

**Strategy:**
- Campaign 1: Target the 45 comments (strong engagement)
- Campaign 2: Target the 250 likes (volume)

---

Example 2: Marketing consultant

**Targeted post:** "How I doubled my revenue in 6 months"
- 180 likes

## Common problems

❌ Button never appears

**Possible causes:**

| Cause | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Extension not active | Check in `chrome://extensions/` |
| Account not connected | Reconnect Facebook in Novalya |
| Incompatible post | Some very old posts may not be supported |

---

❌ "Cannot access interactions"

**Cause:** You don't have access to likes or comments list (private post, blocked page).

**Solution:**
- Verify you can see likes/comments manually
- If it's a page post, make sure you follow the page

---

---

## FAQ

**Are interactions stored in Novalya?**

No. Only the **post itself** is registered. Profiles who interacted are scanned only when launching campaign, ensuring always up-to-date data.

**Can I add a post from a page I don't manage?**

Yes, as long as the post is public and you can see interactions. The button will appear under all compatible posts, whether yours or not.

**How long does interaction scanning take?**

Depends on number of interactions:
- Small post (< 100 interactions): few seconds
- Medium post (100-1000 interactions): 1-2 minutes
- Large post (> 1000 interactions): 3-5 minutes

Scanning happens automatically when launching campaign.

**Can I prospect the same people multiple times?**

Yes, but it's not recommended. Novalya keeps a history of contacted people to avoid duplicates. You can force re-sending, but this risks being perceived as spam.

**Are reactions other than "Like" counted?**

Yes. All Facebook reactions (Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry) are considered "likes" for prospecting.
