For each post, it fetches comments, reactions and shares in parallel, combines the three metrics into a single row, and upserts it into your Google Sheet using the Post ID as a unique key so re-runs update existing rows instead of duplicating them. A short wait between posts protects you from Facebook API rate limits.\n\n## Setup\n1. Create a Facebook Graph API credential in n8n using a Page access token from the Graph API Explorer.\n2. Connect your Google Sheets account.\n3. Open \"Save Engagement to Sheet\" and pick your spreadsheet + tab (columns: POST ID, POST, LIKES, COMMENTS, SHARES).\n4. Adjust values in \"Configuration\" (max posts to analyze, Graph API version, pause between posts).\n5. Run manually to test, or enable the schedule trigger for daily tracking.\n\n## Requirements\n- A Facebook Page you manage plus a Graph API Explorer access token\n- Google Sheets account connected in n8n\n- A spreadsheet with columns: POST ID, POST, LIKES, COMMENTS, SHARES\n\n## Customization\n- Change `max_posts` to analyze more or fewer recent posts.\n- Adjust `wait_seconds_between_posts` if you hit Facebook rate limits.\n- Swap the manual trigger for the schedule trigger to automate daily tracking.\n- Add more metrics (e.g. reach, impressions) as extra parallel branches feeding the same Merge node.\n\nNeed help customizing?\nContact me for consulting and support : [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctor-firass/)\n\n# MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL\n\ud83d\udc49 [Subscribe to my new YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DrFiras_AI).
