Cause

Access to certain permissions and features of the Facebook API now require inspection and approval by the Facebook platform moderators.

WHMCS's sign-in integration does not require these permissions.

Solution

WHMCS does not require access to the permissions or features of the Facebook API that currently require approval.

The WHMCS Sign-In Integration only uses the following permissions:

  • public_profile
  • email

No action is necessary and you can safely ignore the email.
