Connector Improvement: Facebook Pages - Add missing "photo within album" data
Hi,
Currently, the Facebook Pages connector does not ingest records for "photos within albums".
For example, this post is an "album" containing 5 images: https://www.facebook.com/OceanXOrg/posts/pfbid037mL7FY9MZLCwnp9ziRzXdurTX7HBq4KMGCgjUE89ugBy2LJFk4x7rAKvGLa5W2VXl
Our Facebook Pages connector currently syncs this "album" post to our `post_history` table, but does not sync the individual image posts contained within the album (for example: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3280065602273786&set=pcb.3280069752273371) to `post_history`.
This is important for my team for two reasons:
1) We use Fivetran's Facebook connectors to model/report on engagement with our organic Facebook content. "Image-with-album" posts have distinct engagement metrics from the parent "album" posts (for example, users can comment/react on the individual images without commenting/reacting on the parent album post). Since Fivetran is not presently sending us this data, we cannot report on it at the post level.
2) We also use Fivetran's Instagram connector for similar reporting purposes. The instagram connector does provide the image-within-album data for Instagram posts. We would ideally like these two sources to provide data on a similar grain, so that we can better model/report on comparative performance across platforms (especially when we post the same content to both platforms).
Could you please add this missing data for the Facebook Pages data source?
Thanks!
Matt
