HOW TO FIND A FACEBOOK POST ID – STEPS

You might need a Facebook post ID when boosting a post on Facebook Ads Manager but the post you want to boost does not appear on the drop-down of the recent Facebook posts list. In that case, the only option is to provide Facebook with the exact post ID.

Facebook Ads Manager allows you to find a specific post by its post ID so you can boost it (make it an ad) as per the screenshot below.
