Title: Twitter to FB posts
Post by: ALITTLEweird1 on August 26, 2018, 05:26:51 PM
Seems that when you post to twitter now, it will not show up on Facebook anymore due to a FB change. Is there another way to post our data straight to FB?

Thanks

I have looked and have not seen one yet.

Tried to post a widget on FB, but it did not take. If there is no solution for me, I will kill the FB page.

After the big "data breach" Facebook made some changes.

Not sure if there is a workaround.

I use https://ifttt.com/ and it watched my twitter acount when their is a post on it then it posts it to my facebook page.

(You would have to give the website ifttt rights for posting on your facebook page.)

Ifttt is working. It's a little messy with what it puts on Facebook but it works.

You'd have to search for a Twitter applet that posts New Tweet/Pic from Twitter goes to your Facebook Page.
I'm not sure how to link to one of the applets that I use.

Block them both in your router, hosts file and other security tools and you won't have to worry about them.

Our tweet about the Facebook cross-post purge made it into a TechCrunch article. https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/28/facebook-has-removed-all-cross-posted-tweets/ We have since switched over to https://ifttt.com for the cross-posting function and it has been working as a replacement.

The post pic one posts the text twice so i would advise to use the other one

Working on a solution for getting watch/warning products to Facebook in a timely manner. I had Weather Message doing just that until Facebook decided they didn't want to play any longer. Now I have WxMessage attempting to post warnings to Twitter and the recommended applet then sending that to Facebook. Haven't quite got things setup the way I need so I'm asking for anything I might need to be aware of as to operation of the programs and app.

Thanks
