Hi

 We are attempting to post from wordpress  (a post) to a facebook page. We have it connected and posting but need to change some of the style.

We have data fields?: Title rendered, Excerpt rendered,  post link 

 

The zap has:

trigger: new post in wordpress

Action: Text formatter to remove html tags in the Excerpt rendered

Action: Create page post in facebook pages.

This works.

 

We need to make “Title rendered” appear in bold on the facebook page post.

We need to add a line or cr \n ? between Title rendered and Excerpt rendered.

So now we have

Title rendered

Excerpt rendered

 

We need:

bold Title rendered /bold

 

Excerpt rendered

 

 

Yes new to Zaps, just cant find these details in the help.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the Community and Zapier, @Mezodata! 👋

I did some digging and it looks like the Facebook supports markdown on their Workplace API:

I couldn’t find any such documentation for supported Markdown the Facebook Pages API so it may not be possible. But hopefully as the Workplace API supports it, so will the Pages API. Want to give that Markdown syntax a try and let us know if that makes the title text bold?

For the newline, if you hit the Shift + Return on your keyboard in the Message field (on the Create Page Post action in your Zap) to create the desired spacing between the title and excerpt is that removed when the post is created in Facebook? 

Looking forward to your reply! 

Hi

I tried the markup, but no go. Also found some posts on meta for developers asking the same thing and it’s not supported, as you mentioned. But the new line worked, so there’s that.

Thanks for your prompt help.
