On April 22, 2024, Meta updated their API and discontinued an ability to manage Facebook Groups for all third-party services like PromoRepublic. As a result, automated posting has been deactivated, and the connection process has changed.

Connecting a Facebook Group

To connect a Facebook Group to PromoRepublic, you will need the group's link. You can find it in the web address line at the top of the page at www.facebook.com. This simplifies the setup process and ensures seamless integration. Here's how you can connect with your group: 

  1. Navigate to the Calendar section on our platform and select the option to connect a Facebook Group.

  2. Open www.facebook.com, find your group and copy the URL link as shown below. 

3. In the connection interface on our platform, enter the group link in the designated field and hit ‘Connect.’

Depending on the group's privacy and visibility settings, the link may appear as the group name or a direct URL.

For Existing Connections

No action is required if your group is already connected to our platform. These connections will remain active. However, all future postings will need to be managed through our mobile app, which allows for better control over the timing and publication of your content.

Due to these changes, you should use our mobile app to post content to your Facebook groups. This adjustment, while different from the previous direct posting, is necessary to comply with new platform guidelines. To learn more about posting to Facebook Groups read this article.
