Evaluate one complete workflow
Pick one task you already understand. Keep the initial evaluation small enough that you can inspect each selected contact and outcome.
Review contacts with relationship context
- Confirm your intended Facebook account and Friender Chrome extension are connected.
- Use Sync Now, then open Contacts.
- Inspect the relevant contact records and available engagement history.
- Review the people you intend to retain and the available Whitelist controls.
- Check the selected contacts before choosing any bulk action. Use Unfriend only for a removal you intend, then inspect its recorded outcome.
Engagement history is one input. Include your knowledge of customers, colleagues, friends, and ongoing conversations in the decision. The Friend Disconnector overview explains the friend-removal capability and its entry points.
Build relevant connections
For an Advanced workflow, choose a source that relates to the people you serve. Review the source filters and queued profiles before enabling requests. Use the friend-request sources and queue guide for the supported discovery paths and review process.
Record requests, accepted connections, and useful conversations separately. The recipient chooses whether to accept, and Facebook controls action availability.
Organize requested follow-up
For a Pro workflow, begin with a person who has asked for a resource or agreed to a next step. Record that context, apply an appropriate label or tag, and prepare the message that fulfills the request.
If you use an automation, inspect the enrollment event, message, delay, and exit condition before enabling it. Follow the Messenger workflow guide and contact organization guide for the relevant setup.
Download your evaluation checklist
Download the free workflow evaluation checklist.
Open the text file and save a working copy in your text editor or notes app. Fill in your intended workflow, required plan, connected account, and expected outcome. Mark each item Verified, Needs a demonstration, or Outside my requirements. Record your own observations in the evidence field.
The checklist is a planning document. It changes no account settings and imports no contacts. Keep personal contact information in your private contact system.
Prepare your transition
Keep a reference copy of information you are permitted to retain from your current tool. Record useful labels, notes, and follow-up context so you can recreate the relevant parts in Friender.
Friender syncs contacts through the connected Facebook account. Treat another provider's CSV as reference material; a direct transfer of its labels, notes, and automation history needs separate verification.
Test the chosen workflow and confirm the result before changing subscriptions. Assign each active action to one tool while you establish how the new setup behaves. Review the current provider's cancellation terms and Friender's selected billing period when making the transition.
Questions to answer before choosing a plan
Can I begin with a free tool?
Yes. Friender offers rebuilt Post Scheduler, Friend Disconnector, and Birthday Wisher tools. Open the free tools overview, choose the relevant tool, and follow its setup. Paid plans add the features shown on the pricing page.
Which plan supports targeted requests and Messenger campaigns?
Advanced includes targeted friend requests and request messages. Pro includes Advanced features plus Messenger campaigns, labels, tags, automations, and sales pipelines. Check the full current plan details before subscribing.
What do I need for connected Facebook activity?
Use the Friender Chrome extension with the intended Facebook account. The web app supports management tasks; full connected functionality depends on the extension. Confirm the connection as part of your evaluation.
How should I judge the result?
Check that you can complete the selected task and find its outcome. Then track relevant conversations, agreed next steps, and confirmed purchases separately over a consistent period. A completed contact review or accepted request is a workflow outcome; business results need their own measurement.
