PostRSS Facebook App Is Updated and Fully Operational

Important Compliance Notice: Facebook Platform Policy

"Do not include third-party ads in posts, notifications, requests, invites, or messages."

Enforcement Actions for Non-Compliance

• Posting Violations: If automated posts or photos published via your PostRSS feed are flagged for containing third-party ads, it violates both Facebook's policies and our service terms.
• Account Suspension: All users who do not comply with this third-party advertising rule will have their Facebook posting privileges permanently disabled within the PostRSS platform.

How to Check Your Feed for Third-Party Ads

Most policy problems do not come from the articles themselves but from what a website adds around them. Open your feed address in a browser and read a few recent items as PostRSS sees them. Look in particular for:

• Ad code inside the item description. Some advertising and affiliate plugins insert banners or sponsored links directly into the post content, and those can end up in the feed.
• Banner images. PostRSS takes the picture from the feed item (an enclosure, a media:content tag or the first image in the item) or from the page’s Open Graph tags. If the first image in your content is an advertising banner, that banner can become the image of your Facebook post.
• Sponsored posts. Paid articles published on your own site should be reviewed before they are shared automatically, because the post itself may count as promotional content for a third party.

Settings That Keep Promotional Content Out

PostRSS gives you several ways to control what reaches your Page without changing your website:

• Message format: choose one of nine formats built from the item title, the item description, the page title or your own static text. A title-only format avoids copying any text that plugins add to the description.
• Keyword filters: list words to exclude, such as the labels your site uses for sponsored or advertising posts. PostRSS checks the item title and description and skips the matching items.
• A dedicated feed: point PostRSS at a category feed that contains only your editorial content instead of the main feed of the whole site.
• A correct og:image: set a proper featured image on every article, so the post uses your own picture rather than whatever image appears first on the page.

How Facebook Posting Works in PostRSS Today

PostRSS posts to Facebook Pages. Facebook Groups and personal profiles can no longer be automated, because Meta closed the Groups publishing API in April 2024. A Facebook Page is available on every plan, including Free, and PostRSS checks each feed every 5 minutes (every minute on Enterprise plans), so new articles appear on your Page within minutes. The step-by-step setup is on the Facebook lapa, and plan details are on the pricing page.

A Short Routine for Staying Compliant

Compliance is easiest when it is part of a regular check rather than a reaction to a problem. Whenever you install or update an advertising, affiliate or monetisation plugin on your website, open your feed again and look at the newest items, because such plugins can change what the feed contains without any visible change on your pages. When you publish a sponsored article, decide in advance whether it should go to Facebook at all, and label it consistently so your keyword filters can recognise it. Finally, glance at your Page from time to time and compare the automatic posts with your own guidelines, the same way you would review posts written by a colleague.

Facebook has its own setup page: our auto-post RSS to Facebook walkthrough covers the connection and the template fields.

FAQ

What counts as a third-party ad in an automated post?

Any advertising or sponsored content for another company that ends up in the post text or image, for example a banner inserted into your article by an ad plugin or a sponsored link in the item description.

How can I stop ad banners from becoming the image of my posts?

Set a proper featured image or og:image on each article. PostRSS takes the picture from the feed item or the page’s Open Graph tags, so your own image is then used instead of a banner.

Can I skip sponsored articles automatically?

Yes. Add keyword filters to the source and exclude the words your site uses to label sponsored or advertising posts. PostRSS checks the item title and description and posts only the items that fit.

Vai PostRSS var publicēt Facebook grupās?

Nē. PostRSS publicē tikai Facebook lapās, jo Meta 2024. gada aprīlī slēdza Facebook grupu publicēšanas API.

Do I need to check my feed again after changing plugins?

Yes, it is a good habit. Advertising and affiliate plugins can change what your feed contains without any visible change on your pages, so a quick look at the newest feed items after an update helps keep automated posts clean.
