Facebook Admin page posts to the group, but it appears in my name instead of the page name.


Hi guys!

I have created a zap to create a post on a facebook group once there is a new post on a facebook page.

This page has the admin rights on the group, but the post on the group is shown in my name, while it should be in the name of the page.

Any guess?

Thanks!

Hey folks 👋

I wanted to swing by here with a quick update on the Facebook Groups app

As a result of the upcoming changes to the Facebook Groups API, the Facebook Groups app on Zapier will be no longer usable from April 22, 2024.

Any zaps using Facebook Groups triggers or actions are expected to stop working on that day. You can learn more about this here: App update: Facebook Groups app removal

Please do reach out in Community if you have any questions in the meantime. 🧡

Hi @axel2100 

I have a feeling that because the Facebook Groups connecting is Zapier is authed via your personal account, that it might not be possible to use Zapier to poste in a group as a page.

I'm going to flag this post for the Zapier Community Team. They should have more insight on this and can escalate to the support team if needed.

Sit tight, and someone will contact you soon.

Hi @axel2100 - Thank you for the question! I just tried this on my own Facebook and it’s not possible for me to post in a Group as a Page (even one that I own/manage). It shows that I can post as myself only.

Thanks for your feedback @steph.n ! Keen to see if the support has a tweak for this or will put it on the roadmap. Can be really interesting from a business / company perspective.


I am having the same issue. Would love a solution. Thank you.

I would really love this, too!  Would be ideal to post on our company group page as the company page instead of my personal user!

Hi @Kartraguy -  Prioritization is largely dependent on the number of customers affected. Since we added your your upvote, I was able to add some weight to the issue! 

I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer here. Thank you for your patience and we will send you an email if there are any updates!
