Connect Facebook

Available now Sign in on the network

Facebook publishing works on Pages only. There is no way for any tool to post to a personal profile timeline.

Connect Facebook

A window opens on the network's own site. You sign in there and approve access — nothing to copy or paste.

Before you start

  • A Facebook Page.
  • A role on that Page that lets you create posts — admin, editor or the equivalent under Page access.

Step by step

  1. 1
    Check you can post as the Page

    On Facebook, open your Page, then Settings, then Page access, and confirm your name is listed with permission to create posts.

  2. 2
    Open Accounts

    In Social Publish, go to Accounts and press Connect Account, then choose Facebook.

  3. 3
    Sign in and allow

    Sign in with the personal Facebook account that manages the Page, and leave every permission ticked on the consent screen.

  4. 4
    Choose the Page

    Pick the Page you want to publish to. If you manage several, connect each one separately.

If something goes wrong

No Pages are listed after signing in.

The account you signed in with does not manage any Page, or you unticked the permission that lists Pages. Sign in as the Page admin and try again.

Posts stop publishing after some weeks.

Facebook access expires. Remove the Page on the Accounts page and connect it again.
