Once you are done just click ‘Create source’.

Please wait, for the system to generate the feed, and on the last step you will only need to click ‘Create Widget’.

Congratulations! You’ve just imported an entire Facebook Page feed into your account. So let’s get the code and embed it on your website. Follow the next step.
