There have been some major changes to the Facebook since the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal.

As of August 1st, 2018, one of those changes is that you can no longer schedule posts in advance to a personal Facebook profile though the Facebook API.

Users can only share via the Facebook sharer in real time.

In addition, likes, comments and shares from personal Facebook accounts will no longer be available via the API.

This change is universal and applies to all 3rd party social media marketing tools.

This will not affect your Facebook Business page nor your Twitter or LinkedIn profiles.

Thankfully - when it comes to your personal Facebook profile publishing - we've got your back!

When it's time to share your post, our system will automatically notify you via email or push notification on your mobile app.

All you have to do is log in and push "Approved"!
