Facebook Page Integration Update: Deprecated Metrics & Recommended Alternatives

Updated this week

We’ve recently introduced new reporting options for Facebook Page integration to provide more flexible and detailed insights. Alongside these improvements, some older metrics have been soft-deprecated and will be fully deprecated by November 15, 2025.

This update ensures better data accuracy and alignment with Meta’s latest API capabilities.


What’s new?

You can now use the following new report types to gain deeper insights into your Facebook Page performance:

  • From followers

  • From ads

  • City

  • Geo

These new types offer more granular reporting and improved tracking for audience engagement and views.


Deprecated Metrics & Recommended Alternatives

To ensure a smooth transition, here’s a list of soft-deprecated metrics and their recommended alternatives:

What happens next?

  • These metrics are currently soft-deprecated but still available for use.

  • After November 15, 2025, all deprecated fields will no longer return data in your reports.

  • We recommend updating your widgets and automated reports to use the new recommended alternatives to avoid data gaps.
