Connecting Facebook

GroupHunter uses Facebook OAuth for authentication. You sign into GroupHunter with your Facebook account directly — there's no separate email/password, and GroupHunter never sees or stores your Facebook password.

How It Works

When you sign up or log in at app.grouphunter.io, you click Continue with Facebook. This opens Facebook's standard OAuth dialog where you authorise GroupHunter to access your account.

GroupHunter uses this connection to:

  • Identify you as the account holder
  • Read your group memberships (to identify groups where you're an admin)
  • Allow the extension to act on your behalf on Facebook (approve/decline members, send messages)

Security — GroupHunter never stores your Facebook password. Your Facebook session is used by the browser extension only, and your OAuth token only grants the specific permissions you approved.

Syncing Your Groups

Once logged in, go to Groups in the sidebar and click Sync Groups. The Chrome extension (which must be installed and running) scans your Facebook account and imports all Groups where you have admin access.

This sync can be re-run at any time to pick up newly created groups or groups where you recently became an admin.

What If You Manage Multiple Facebook Accounts?

GroupHunter is linked to one Facebook account per GroupHunter account. The extension operates under whichever Facebook account is currently logged into Chrome.

If you need to manage groups across multiple Facebook accounts, you would need separate GroupHunter accounts.

Revoking Access

You can remove GroupHunter's Facebook access at any time:

  1. Go to Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites
  2. Find GroupHunter and click Remove

This will disconnect the extension from Facebook and stop all automation. Your GroupHunter dashboard data (members, settings) will remain in your account.

Troubleshooting Facebook Login

  • Can't log in? Make sure you're not blocking Facebook cookies or third-party scripts in your browser
  • Groups not syncing? Ensure the Chrome extension is installed and running, and that you're logged into Facebook in the same browser
  • Wrong account connected? Log out of GroupHunter, log out of Facebook in Chrome, then log back in with the correct Facebook account
