Introduction

According to Facebook's API, automatic posting from third-party apps is available for business pages but not for groups.

☝️To share content in a Facebook Group, use the PromoRepublic mobile app. It facilitates a semi-automatic posting method for groups where you have permission to post.

You can publish posts in any group where you're a member or an administrator. Note that the post will follow the typical approval process, which might include admin approval depending on the group's settings.

Getting Started

For PromoRepublic Customers

First, download the PromoRepublic mobile app based on your phone type:

iPhone
Android

Log in using the same method as you do on your desktop, whether it's email/password or Facebook login. ☝️ It's crucial to use the same login credentials in the app that you use on the desktop to prevent any access issues. For example, if you initially used email and password on the desktop, don't log in with the Facebook option in the app, and vice versa.


After scheduling a post for a specific day and time, you will receive a notification on your phone when it's time to publish. If you are managing multiple groups, you will receive separate notifications for each group. 

For doTERRA Social Customers

As a doTERRA Social customer, ensure that you use the doTERRA Social app instead. This app is tailored specifically for doTERRA Wellness Advocates. Download the app version based on your phone type:

iPhone
Android

☝️ Log in using your doTERRA credentials: ID number and password by clicking on 'Continue with doTERRA login'.*

* There might be occasions when you do not have a doTERRA account and use doTERRA Social via email/password on the desktop. If this is the case, then you won't be able to log into the mobile app.
