Staying Informed About Token Expirations

To avoid tracking interruptions, Trackify allows you to receive email notifications before or when a token expires.

How to Enable Notifications

  • Go to the Notification section inside the Trackify app.

  • Add your email address.

  • You will receive an email alert whenever your Facebook token is close to expiring or has expired.


Important Information About Token Expiration

Token Control

All Facebook tokens are generated and controlled by Facebook. Trackify does not create or manage token lifespans but provides visibility and renewal options through the dashboard.

Notifications

When a token expires, Trackify automatically sends an email notification, provided your email address is added in the Notification section.

Token Lifespan

Trackify stores long-term tokens, which usually remain active for 3–4 weeks. However, expiration timing can vary due to Facebook’s internal security policies and checks.


Tips to Extend the Lifespan of Facebook Tokens

While token expiration cannot be fully prevented, the following practices can help reduce frequent renewals:

  • Use strong security settings
    Enable strong passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Facebook account.

  • Avoid multiple device logins
    Logging into Facebook from many devices at the same time may trigger security checks.

  • Limit active sessions
    Keep the number of devices logged into your Facebook account to a minimum.
