How to schedule Facebook posts, photos and videos on your Page

Yes, on a Facebook Page. Connect your Pages to SPREVA, write the post (text, a link, up to 10 photos or one video), pick the Pages, and schedule it or add it to a queue. Two limits come from Facebook: apps can publish to Pages only, not to personal profiles, and a video always goes out on its own, never with photos.

SPREVA checks each of these before anything goes out:

1. 1

   Connect Facebook in SPREVA and tick the Pages you manage. Each Page becomes an account of its own.

2. 2

   Press New in the sidebar, choose Post, then Text Post, Image Post or Video Post.

3. 3

   Pick one Page or several. Under Per account, give a Page its own text if it needs one.

4. 4

   For a video, add a title if you like: Facebook shows it with the video.

5. 5

   Schedule it, or Add to queue.

At that time SPREVA publishes to each Page on its own, so one Page with a problem never holds back the others.

A post with a link and no photo or video becomes a link preview: Facebook fetches the page's title and image and shows them under your text. Add photos or a video, and SPREVA puts the link at the end of your text instead, after a blank line, unless the text already has it.

When Facebook is slow to answer and the connection drops, a tool cannot tell whether the post went out. SPREVA looks for it on the Page before it tries again, so a retry never publishes the same post twice.

When a Page needs reconnecting, its posts stop and say so instead of failing quietly. Reconnect the Page, retry them, and the posts to your other accounts go out as planned.

The same photos can go to your Page and to Instagram in one post, each with its own text. Facebook takes up to 10 photos of 10 MB each; Instagram a carousel of up to 10, at 8 MB each, and SPREVA checks both. How to schedule an Instagram Story.

Each post's numbers come back into SPREVA with the rest: views, reactions, comments, shares and clicks, and for a video, how many times it was watched. Each Page's followers too, so the month can be read in one place.

Connect your Facebook Pages, make a queue with the times you post, and fill it with next week's posts. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial.
