What's the value?
You can now publish Stories to your Facebook Pages straight from PromoRepublic — exactly the way Instagram Stories already work. Plan a week's or a month's worth of Facebook Stories in advance, schedule them, and let PromoRepublic publish them automatically at the right time.
🔴 IMPORTANT: Facebook Stories publishing is available on the desktop (web) app only. Mobile publishing for Facebook Stories is not supported yet.
Why this matters for multi-location and franchise brands:
Consistency: Stories are one of the most-viewed placements on Facebook. Scheduling them keeps every location visible daily without anyone having to post manually.
Time management: Feed posts, Reels and Stories are all planned in one place, in one calendar, instead of being posted ad hoc from a phone.
Strategic planning: Stories can be aligned with campaigns, promotions and local events across all your locations at once.
How to publish a Facebook Story
Open the post editor and select the Facebook Page (or Pages) you want to publish to.
Upload one photo or one vertical video. The recommended aspect ratio is 9:16, and video length must be between 3 and 60 seconds.
Switch on the Send as Story toggle. 🔴 This step is mandatory — without it, the media will be published as a regular feed post.
Choose Schedule and set the date and time, or publish right away.
The editor validates the format before scheduling, so if the media doesn't meet Facebook's Story requirements you'll be told straight away instead of finding out when the post fails.
Send as Story works both for single posts and for campaign tasks, so Stories can be rolled out to locations as part of a campaign in the same way as any other content.
After publishing
The Story appears in your Calendar and in Statistics, with a direct link to it on Facebook.
Like any Story, it disappears from Facebook after 24 hours.
Facebook doesn't allow deleting Stories through the API, so there is no Delete action for them in PromoRepublic. If you need to remove a Story, delete it directly on Facebook.
Limitations
🔴 Please keep the following in mind:
Stories are media-only. Facebook doesn't accept text, links, or buttons on Stories, so any post text you add will not be published.
The first comment option is disabled for Stories for the same reason.
A Story is one photo or one video — carousels and multi-image Stories are not supported.
Videos must be 3–60 seconds long, in 9:16 vertical format.
Publishing is available on the desktop (web) app only — not from the PromoRepublic mobile app.
Stickers, links, music, and other native Facebook Story features are not available in auto-published Stories, as they are not exposed by Facebook's API.
Stories are published to Facebook Pages. Personal profiles and Groups are not supported.
All Facebook content guidelines apply. PromoRepublic doesn't override or bypass any restriction set by Facebook.
