Permissions we ask for

When you connect, Facebook asks you to grant Striker these permissions. We ask only for what Striker uses, and each is used only to provide Striker to your business.

Connecting your accounts

• business_management: needed by Meta for the messaging permissions below. It lets you choose which of your business's Pages and Instagram accounts Striker may manage during connect.
• pages_show_list: shows you the list of Pages you manage, so you can pick the one Striker should answer for.
• pages_manage_metadata: subscribes your Page (and its linked Instagram account) to message and comment notifications, so Striker receives them in real time.
• instagram_basic: identifies your connected Instagram account (its username, picture and id), shows it under Connections, and routes each message to your assistant.

Answering messages and comments

• instagram_manage_messages: receives your Instagram direct messages and sends replies, within the 24-hour window Meta allows. Replies come from your assistant, or from your staff in the Striker inbox.
• pages_messaging: receives Facebook Messenger messages to your Page and sends replies, within the 24-hour window. Also used to send one private reply to someone who commented on your Page's post.
• instagram_manage_comments: reads comments on your Instagram posts and reels, so Striker can send the commenter one private reply.
• pages_read_engagement: reads the post and comment details needed to reply to people who commented on your posts.

What we don't do

• We never post to your feed, run ads, or message anyone who hasn't messaged or commented first.
• We never sell your data or your customers' data, or use it to train AI models.
• Your access tokens are stored encrypted and deleted when you disconnect.
