I have created a Zap that triggers from a new item in a RSS feed (from a Squarespace blog post) and posts to a Facebook page. The action posts the “description” in the message, but when the post comes through in Facebook it breaks the text into multiple lines. For example:
Description from RSS Feed:
From Feb. 7th- Mar 14th we will be in a special season of focused, sacrificial giving for the sake of the gospel, in City and to the ends of the earth!
How it posts in Facebook:
From Feb. 7th- Mar 14th we will be in a special season of focused,
sacrificial giving for the sake of the gospel, in City and to the ends of
the earth!
I have tested this on multiple posts and face the same issue. After comparing how it broke up text on three different posts, it seems that it breaks the lines at 75 characters (or shorter if the next word will not fit within 75). I also face this exact same issue with a zap that posts the same RSS to Instagram for Business.
I have yet another zap that posts the RSS to Twitter and faced the same issue, but changed the trigger to use “raw description” which seemed to fix it, but that didn’t work for FB or Instagram. In fact, since Twitter was working correctly, I tried to zap from Twitter to Facebook and still had the same issue, so it seems to be related to how the zap posts in FB (given the issue is seen from both RSS and Twitter).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
