5. Best practices for avoiding spam flags

Facebook monitors for behavior that looks automated or bot-like. If you're publishing to multiple Facebook Pages, a few simple habits will help keep your accounts safe.

Stagger your posting times If you publish to multiple Pages on a similar schedule, make sure each Page has a slightly different posting time — even a few minutes apart makes a difference.

Posting to multiple Pages at exactly the same time increases the chance of Facebook flagging the activity as spam, which can result in posts failing or your access token being revoked.

Vary your content If you're sharing similar content across many Pages, create a few variations rather than sending the exact same post to all of them. Even small differences in caption wording help.

What happens if you're flagged? Facebook may fail the post, revoke your access token, or in serious cases suspend your account. If your token is revoked, you'll need to reconnect your Facebook Page in dlvr.it. See Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it.


6. FAQ

Can dlvr.it post to a personal Facebook profile? No — Facebook's API does not allow third-party tools like dlvr.it to connect to personal profiles. You'll need a Facebook Page.

Can I use Facebook as a content source in dlvr.it? Yes — you can pull content from a Facebook Page and publish it to your other social channels. See Supported channels in dlvr.it for the full list of supported sources.

What if my Facebook Page isn't showing up when I try to connect? This is usually a permissions issue. See Troubleshooting your Facebook connection in dlvr.it for step-by-step guidance.

What if my post fails after publishing? Check your dlvr.it feed log for an error message. Common causes include an expired access token or a spam flag from Facebook. See Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it if your token needs refreshing.
