Unable to Publish a Post to Facebook Page Using Their API

I was trying to publish something to Facebook page.

From this article, it seemed really easy to publish using Facebook API

So, I create a Facebook page and made sure that I have all the required permission for the given auth token, opened by Postman and created a POST request to following URL (along with attaching my access token bearer) 

https://graph.facebook.com/2984640844138/feed?message=HeyWhatever

This is giving me following error

{
"error": {
    "message": "(#200) If posting to a group, requires app being installed in the group, and \\\n          either publish_to_groups permission with user token, or both manage_pages \\\n          and publish_pages permission with page token; If posting to a page, \\\n          requires both manage_pages and publish_pages as an admin with \\\n          sufficient administrative permission",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 200,
    "fbtrace_id": "D1z1soQbTE2"
   }
}

I am not sure about what I am doing wrong, perhaps my request is incorrect or I am not using postman correctly.

This is what I am doing in Postman (screenshot below), can someone point me out what I am doing wrong? Also, suggestions are also welcome

I would recommend you use the Facebook Graph API Explorer, which provides you with the tools to generate the access token with appropriate permission and also craft your HTTP requests with ease. Visit the same, generate a token, then head to the Access Token Debugger to double check the scopes of the token.
