When I try to set up the Join My List app in Facebook, I get an error message that says "This page isn't available. The link may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Check to see if the link you're trying to open is correct."
I click on "Add app" in the page as shown in this screenshot:
And that's when I get the error. The Constant Contact integration link is apparently trying to go to "apps.facebook.com" which no longer exists. So there is no way to integrate Constant Contact into Facebook without using a Constant Contact ad, which is not suitable for my purposes. I just want people to be able to join a mailing list from our Facebook page. That does not appear to be possible anymore.

Hello @JamesW39 ,
We're sorry to hear you've run into this error. For the sake of troubleshooting, would you be able to perform some of the following steps and see if any of them resolve the issue for you?
Another potential workaround is:
If none of these troubleshooting methods work, you could potentially utilize Facebook's Contact button/tab, and link a Lead-Generation Landing page to accomplish effectively the same thing. Here are some instructions for adding the button if you haven't done it for your business page before:
I am receiving the following message when I try to add the sign up app to our FB business page.
I saw on a post from June that there was a bug and it was being updated, is this message due to that issue? If not please advise best way to get around this and if it is simply part of the update in the meantime can I please be notified when it is corrected?
Hello @AmandaH8972 ,
We apologize as this seems to be an issue our engineers are still working with Facebook on, to figure out what's happening with their API. I've gone ahead and submitted your case to the engineers with the relevant service request attached. If and when there's an update to the issue, they'll make sure to notify you.
In the meantime, the best workaround is going to be creating a landing page in our system, then linking that to a button created on your Facebook Business Page.
When I click on the Facebook Join My List App, I get to the landing page on Facebook that lets me click the blue Add App button. But I always get the error message "sorry, this content isn't available right now" (see attached image). I tried incognito, different browsers, a different computer and my phone and none of these options work.
Hello @AngieH264 ,
We're sorry to hear you've run into some trouble with the Facebook JMML integration. It appears a recent update in Facebook's API has caused some issues with various business integrations, one of which is our JMML app. I've gone ahead and submitted your case to the engineers with the applicable service request attached. If and when they have an update, they'll make sure to notify you.
In the meantime, the workaround they recommend is using your Facebook business page's Add Button tool, and hyperlinking a landing page sign up form created through us. For instructions on setting up a Landing Page, check out our article on the subject.
Hello @AthertonBaptistChurch_ChurchOffice ,
It appears that some of Facebook's recent updates to their site has caused issues with the Join My Mailing List integration. I've assigned your case to our engineers, while they work with Facebook to figure out what's going on.
In the meantime, they're suggesting using the lead generation landing pages from our system, and creating a button on your Facebook business page that links to the landing page.
Hello @KetiweMCFI ,
With a lot of Facebook's recent updates, we've noticed interruptions for some customers trying to add the JMML app to their page. Our engineers are working with Facebook in regards to their updated API, so I've made sure to attach the relevant service request to your account and submit your case to them. If and when they have an update to the issue, they'll make sure to reach out.
In the meantime, our engineers are suggesting using the Facebook Business page's Add Button feature, and then linking to a lead-generation landing page that you created in our system.
