If you are part of our Facebook Group, then you might have probably heard about the new changes that Facebook made to its APIs in 2018.
Facebook has faced criticism for its handling of user data. To enhance the security of their platform, they have introduced several modifications in 2018. Some of these adjustments impact the functionality of RecurPost (and other similar scheduling applications).
The biggest change is in the way 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 few changes to the process of posting to let you still post on Facebook profiles.
We let you post on Facebook profiles with push notifications. With our service, you can post on Facebook profiles using push notifications. This requires you to download the RecurPost mobile app and remain logged in. When it’s time to post, our algorithm will send you a notification on your phone. By clicking on the notification, your message will be copied to your phone’s memory and you will be directed to the post dialog box in the Facebook app. From there, you can easily paste your message into the text box with a caption and you’ll be ready to post.
You need to reconnect your groups as well.
Another big change introduced by Facebook is the way RecurPost connects with Facebook Group. This change does not affect Facebook pages, but you shall have 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 wish to manage using 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’ (notice the space)and add it.
Once you have successfully added the app to your FB group settings, please return to your RecurPost account and click the ‘YES, I HAVE ADDED THE APP‘ selection. This will allow you to start posting on your FB group using RecurPost.
