How Social9 will post feed posts, Reels and Stories to Facebook Pages you manage (coming soon), with text and media limits and options like a first comment.
Coming soon: Facebook can't be connected yet. On the Channels page, its tile under Connect Channel says Coming soon. You can still plan and write Facebook posts; they're saved as drafts until you can connect an account. This page describes how it will work.
Social9 posts to Facebook Pages: feed posts, Reels and Stories. It cannot post to a personal Facebook profile.
Where to find it#
Tools → Channels → Connect Channel → Facebook. You can also press the Facebook icon under Connect more channels in the left menu.
Facebook is on the Individual plan and up.
Connecting#
- On the Channels page, press Connect Channel and pick the Facebook tile.
- Sign in to Facebook and allow Social9 to manage and post to your Pages.
- Each Page you manage is connected to the brand.
If you get "We couldn't find a Facebook Page on this account", you do not manage a Page yet. Create one on Facebook first, then connect again.
What a post can include#
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Text | 63,206 characters |
| Images | Up to 10 |
| Video | 1 |
| Mix photos and video | No |
| Needs media | No |
Options#
In the Create Post window, press Customize for each network and open the Facebook tab (or press Options for Facebook when it is the only network). Under Options for Facebook:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post type | Feed (the default), Reel or Story |
| First comment | Posted as a comment right after the post goes live. Good for a link. Not on Stories |
| Link to share | On a text post, shows Facebook's link preview. With photos or video, the link is added to the end of your text |
| Video title | A title for a video post |
Rules: a Reel needs exactly one video you uploaded (vertical, 3 to 90 seconds works best). A Story takes exactly one photo or video. Reels and Stories post to the Page only.
