We Make Fondu

If you recently migrated your App Profile Page to a normal Facebook Page (as we did yesterday), you might find it hard to add the proper work to your employees individual profiles. We suspect it’s because the Page category is now Product/App which is sorted lower on the “Where have you worked?” text box under Edit Work And Education. Of course, if your company has a dedicated company page separate from your app(s)/project(s), this is irrelevant.

The workaround we figured out requires that one employee already have successfully linked their work to the Facebook Page. This person will then have a work Smart List (automatically created) on the sidebar to the left of the home newsfeed. Once in this list, there is a small text box on the right to “Add coworkers to this list”—see the above picture. If you add a coworker here, voila, they will receive a notification to fill out the corresponding work information to add to their profile.

Another possible workaround may be to change the category of your Page to something that shows up higher in the edit work list (i.e. company).

If you end up using either workaround, be sure to comment below with how it worked out for you.
