1. How To
Create a Custom
Facebook App for your
Strutta Promotion

2. Before You Create Your Custom Facebook App
You need to know what type of Strutta promotion site you’ll be launching. Compare site type features.
There are four site types to choose from when launching a contest or sweepstakes: two Facebook
options and two web-based options. Select the channel that will best serve your campaign goals
and engage your community.
The settings required for a Custom Facebook App differ in each promotion site type with
Strutta. This guide is for a Strutta Facebook Canvas App only. You can check which site
type you are using in the General > Basics section of your Strutta builder.
Facebook Canvas App
Launch a full canvas app on Facebook. This option is best if you wish to allow users to access your
promotion on a mobile device, however, it takes one click extra click to access it from your
Facebook Page. Canvas pages are 760 pixels wide.
