Use mobile app to post to Facebook Groups and Personal Accounts on Facebook and Instagram
As fellow marketers, it was a devastating blow when Facebook took down their Groups API. Our mobile app solution is a far cry from the ease of the old 'set it and forget it' automation, but we built it (and use it internally) because there are still some advantages over posting directly to Facebook using your desktop:
- The first 5 links in your message will be automatically tracked and shortened, and any additional tracking codes you setup (GA parameters are added by default) will also be added to your links.
- Our Call To Action feature will automatically add a randomly selected CTA to your message before being pushed to the mobile device.
- Our Hashtag Groups feature will automatically add a randomly selected grouping of hashtags to your message.
- You can schedule the post for an optimal time and the mobile app will notify you when it is time to post. You can even choose 'Optimal' when scheduling and it will post when your clients are most likely to click through or convert to a lead/customer.
- Reporting of your click data will be included in the overall social media reports that you can generate anytime in our dashboard.
- Approval routing/workflows will be observed for your group posts too.
- Reposting can be turned on for your evergreen content.
- We will add watermarks to your images and videos before they are pushed to your mobile device and automatically added to the top of your phone's photo gallery.
- Unified posting experience. You will be able to post to all social networks in one post using our publisher so you aren't having to craft your post in multiple places.
- RSS feeds from your blog or other blogs can be automatically converted to social posts and pushed to your device.
- CSV Bulk Imports allow you to load up to a year of content in one upload and they can be pushed to your device at the correct times.
HOW TO USE IT
The Share app for Android and iOs seamlessly integrates with the web app, allowing you to manage your social media posts from your mobile device. Here's how it works:
1. Log in using the same username and password you use for the web app.
2. Once logged in, you'll be taken directly to the notification screen.
3. You'll receive audible alerts at the scheduled time for your posts. Tapping on the notification takes you straight to the post.
4. The post will already have the caption copied to your phone's clipboard and the attached images downloaded to your gallery.
5. Open the post in the Facebook app by tapping "Open in Facebook" at the bottom of the screen.
6. Add the photos or videos and paste the caption into the text field.
7. You can post as a different user by switching accounts within the Facebook app.
8. Once everything is ready, click the post button to publish your content.
The Share app streamlines the process of posting to social media from your Android device, providing convenience and efficiency while on the go. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us through live chat.
