Add Photos from Facebook to SmartSuite

Choose Facebook in the file picker, sign in, and copy photos from Facebook into fields, SmartDocs and comments.

Written by Peter Novosel

The SmartSuite file picker connects to Facebook. Select Connect Facebook, sign in on Facebook's site and pick photos to copy into SmartSuite.

You can add them to a Files and Images field, a SmartDoc, a comment or a Solution Guide.

Example: a company's compliance team posts photos of its annual safety training on the company Facebook page. The training coordinator picks those photos from Facebook in the Training Evidence field of the training record.
