If you are part of our Facebook Group, then you might have already heard about the new changes that Facebook made to its APIs in 2018.
Facebook has been under fire for how it handles users’ data. In order to make their platform secure, they have announced a number of changes in 2018. Some of these changes affect how RecurPost (and other scheduling apps for that matter) works.
The biggest change is in terms of how we post on personal Facebook Profiles.
You can no longer schedule posts on Facebook Profiles.
Unlike most other tools RecurPost has got your back. We have made some changes to our process to let you still post on Facebook profiles.
We allow you to post on Facebook Profile via Push Notifications. This means you need to install RecurPost mobile app on your phone and stay logged in. Then when it is time to post, we will send you a push notification. As you click on it, we will copy your message in memory and show you the Facebook post dialog. Simply tap and paste your message in the text box/ caption and you will be good to go.
You need to reconnect your groups as well.
Another big change from Facebook is how RecurPost connects with Facebook. It does not change anything for Facebook pages, but you need to install the RecurPost app in your Facebook group settings and then reconnect them on RecurPost.
Here is how to do it.
- First, log into your Facebook account and then head over to your FB group that you want to manage through RecurPost.
In your FB Group select ‘Settings’ from the left-hand side menu.
2. In the main panel, scroll down to find the option of ‘Apps’ under the ‘Manage Advanced settings’ section.
3. Click on the edit icon and a pop-up will show the names of apps that are connected to your FB group. In case RecurPost is not connected, click on ‘Add Apps’, search for ‘Recur Post’ and add it.
After you add it, come back to RecurPost where you left off and click on ‘YES, I HAVE ADDED THE APP‘ option, and then you’ll be ready to post on your FB group through RecurPost.
