What Are The Requirements To Publish To Facebook Groups?
- You can only post to Groups that you are an admin of. You cannot post to groups that you are just a member or Moderator of.
- Your personal Facebook profile must be an admin of the Group. You cannot post to groups if only your Business Page is an admin of the Group.
- Your posts will be published using your personal profile. Facebook does not allow third-party apps to publish to your Group as your Business Page.
- Add SmarterQueue app to each Facebook Group.You must add the SmarterQueue app to each Group that you want to publish to.
How To Grant Permission To SmarterQueue To Publish To Your Facebook Groups
To add a Facebook Group to SmarterQueue, you will need to log into Facebook as an admin of the Group, then simply click on 'Add a Group' under 'Facebook' inside of the Profiles page of your SmarterQueue account.
You will then need to click "OK" to continue as the user you've logged in as and give SmarterQueue the necessary permissions to add and allow you to manage your pages and groups.
While there is an option to "Choose what you allow", please ensure that you don't remove any permissions. Removing permissions could mean that you will see a message stating "No groups found" later on in the steps of adding the Group.
It is very important that the "Post content into groups on your behalf" permission is granted in order to move forward.
If you've removed permissions when going through the steps to add your Facebook Group and/or you're simply not seeing the Group, try reconnecting the Group.
If this doesn't work, or if you've selectively granted permissions to some Pages/Groups, but not the one that's missing, please go through the troubleshooting steps here.
