Find the Facebook Page ID for Your Event

Meeting Planner Tech Tips

Here is one for your inner-techie because this actually comes up more than you would think.

Sometimes you have to know your Facebook page ID. You might have a WordPress plugin that needs it, you might have an application that needs it, or you might be sitting alone on your couch one night eating Cheetos and you might say to yourself “I wonder what my Facebook Page ID is”…. whatever the reason, it really does not matter, you just have to have it and finding it can be a wondrous pain in the ass.

You might go looking on Google and you will find all kinds of ways that seem really confusing and difficult. There are some that want you to right click on your profile picture, there are some that want you to chant in the moonlight, and I am sure that there are others that will have you standing on your head but let’s just make it easy and available in under 10 seconds.

When you need to find your page ID, just follow these simple steps:

Go to https://graph.facebook.com/username (REPLACE “USERNAME” WITH YOUR PAGE NAME – ALL IN CAPS SO YOU SEE THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE THAT WILL MISS IT AND YELL AT ME).

BAM – up pops all of the information you could ever want about your Facebook page. I have pulled a screenshot from the Red Bull page so you can see where to look.

Find Your Facebook Page ID

Now just copy and paste the page id. Pretty simple and will save a ton of hair pulling.
