Plan Facebook Group posts beside your Page and Instagram
Keep your community posts on the same calendar as the rest of your social media. Write once, adjust the version for your Facebook Group and schedule it with the same queues and approvals your team already uses.
What you can do with Facebook Groups
Group posts on the shared calendar
See Group posts beside your Page, Instagram and other networks, and drag to reschedule.
Write once, adjust per network
Start from one shared caption and tailor the Group version for your community.
Recurring posts
Schedule weekly threads like “Friday favourites” or “Ask us anything” once and let them repeat.
Approvals and owners
Give each post an owner, reviewers and a ready-by date, with multi-step approvals when needed.
