Posting Social Posts to a personal Facebook page

Facebook doesn't allows third-party apps to post directly to a personal Facebook page

To enhance privacy and security for its users, Facebook made changes to its app review process in 2018 that prevent third-party apps from posting directly to a personal Facebook profile. Posts to a Facebook Business Pages were unaffected. However, you do have options for posting to your personal Facebook page:

• Post directly to your Facebook Personal Page
• Post to your Facebook Business Page and share to your personal page

Post directly to your Facebook Personal Page

Facebook's changes only prevent third-party apps from posting to your personal profile. If you have content you want to share, all you have to do is log into Facebook and create a post for your personal profile. If you want to share emails or events created with Constant Contact, you can copy the permanent URL for the email or event, and paste it into the post.

1. From your personal page, click "whats on your mind?".
   
   
    
2. Customize your post text and paste the URL for your email or event into the text field.
3. When you're ready, click Post.
   
   
    

Post to your Facebook Business Page and share to your personal page

Since third-party apps are able to post to a Facebook Business Page, you can use Social Posts and Monitoring to post to your business page, and then share the post to your personal page.

1. From your business page, click your profile icon under your profile and banner image.
2. Select your personal page.
   
   
    
3. Scroll down to find the post you want to share, and click Share.
4. Select either:

• Share now (Friends) - This shares the post to the timeline on your personal page.
• Share to News Feed - This shares the post to your newsfeed, but doesn't post it to your personal page.
