Using Facebook with dlvr.it

How to publish to your Facebook Pages with dlvr.it — connecting your account, how publishing works, media specifications, and best practices for avoiding spam flags.

dlvr.it lets you automatically publish content from your feeds and other sources to your Facebook Pages.

You’ll need a Facebook Page
Due to Facebook API restrictions, dlvr.it can only connect to Facebook Pages — not personal profiles or Facebook Groups. If you’re not sure which you have, see Facebook Pages vs. profiles — what’s the difference?

Connecting your Facebook account

To connect your Facebook Page to dlvr.it, you’ll authenticate through a personal Facebook profile that has the admin role on the Page you want to connect. For step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting, see:


Publishing to Facebook

dlvr.it automatically shares content to your Facebook Page as soon as new items appear in your connected source — no manual scheduling required. Each post can include a link, image, and caption pulled directly from your source.

Link previews. When you share a link, dlvr.it automatically pulls in a link preview — title, description, and image — from the destination page. See How dlvr.it finds and displays suggested media for how this works and how to optimize it.

Media notes
Facebook converts GIFs to video when they’re posted, so very large GIFs can lose quality — keep them under about 2048px wide (around 1200 × 630px works well). For media questions and troubleshooting, see the Photos, Video & Media collection.


Best practices for avoiding spam flags

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

  • Stagger your posting times. If you publish to multiple Pages on a similar schedule, give each Page a slightly different posting time — even a few minutes apart makes a difference. Posting to several Pages at exactly the same time increases the chance of Facebook flagging the activity as spam, which can cause posts to fail or your access token to be revoked.

  • Vary your content. If you share 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, reconnect your Facebook Page in dlvr.it — see Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it.
