To do this:

1. Log in to Facebook on a desktop computer or browser on their mobile device (i.e. not via the Facebook app).
2. If you are the FB page administrator, open your profile page and copy the URL in the address bar.
   If you are not the FB page administrator, you can still supply the ID by visiting their profile page and copying the URL in the address bar.
   
3. Next, send the URL to us and we will add your administrator to the Facebook app.

Step 2: Register as a Facebook Developer
When we add you to the Facebook app, you'll receive a Facebook notification. Follow the steps below to accept the invite.

1. If you are the Facebook page administrator, log in to Facebook on a desktop computer or browser on their mobile device (i.e. not via the Facebook app).
2. Check your notifications and click on the app invite
   
3. Register as a Facebook B developer (3 easy steps)
   
4. Confirm the app invite
   
5. Notify us when this is done so we can check to see that you are no longer showing as ‘Pending’
