Extract First & Last Name from Facebook Graph API

This workflow demonstrates a basic integration with the Facebook Graph API node in n8n. It starts with a manual trigger node that executes on demand, followed by the Facebook Graph API node configured to query the 'me' endpoint for the fields 'first_name' and 'last_name'. Upon execution, it retrieves and outputs the authenticated user's personal name details directly from Facebook.

The primary benefit is its simplicity and speed—perfect for developers or marketers needing to pull user profile basics without complex setups. It saves time by encapsulating the API call in a reusable n8n workflow, reducing boilerplate code and authentication hassles. As a companion to Facebook node documentation, it's educational for learning Graph API parameters like custom fields.

Use cases include personalizing marketing campaigns with real user names, populating CRM fields during social logins, or prototyping social media automations. Extend it by connecting to other nodes for email personalization, data storage in Google Sheets, or triggering notifications. Despite its minimal node count, it unlocks powerful social integrations for scalable workflows.
