@kheiro44 what is the file you are trying to send? If you can share a screenshot of the settings you have for the Customize Page Photo and also the Send Data from the trigger (RSS) step, that will help us see what the problem is. 

 

In short, it’s either not an image file OR the image file is too large.  per Facebook’s rules.

Hey @kheiro44, we just wanted to check in again on this! It looks like whatever field/file object you’re trying to send to Facebook to post a photo on your page, isn't in alignment with the criteria that Facebook has set. Here is more information regarding what is/isn’t acceptable for that action: https://zapier.com/help/doc/common-problems-facebook-pages#create-page-photo-action. Reconfiguring your action to be in line with those conditions should help get things resolved for you here.

This zap doesn’t work.

 

Just tried all the possible combinations, change file sizes, filetype…. Different pages. Different wordpress installation. Regardless the settings ( which are not many to configure, either)…. One cannot create a photo post using zapier.

Hi @hjwert!

Sorry to hear that you’re having problems! It’s definitely possible to create a photo post, but it sounds like you may have something not quite right with your Zap. Can you make sure that the field you’re mapping here…

… is a publicly-accessible photo link or a fie object that’s one of these types:

If you can share a screenshot of how you’ve got the Facebook Pages step of your Zap set up, that may help others to determine what the problem is :)

Thanks for your reply. @nicksimard 

All other zapier settings seem to work well.

The problem comes when I test the zap. These are my settings. However I only get the error aforementioned.
