Alternative to Social media promotions.

[pequeno]

I used Social Media Promotions, but is very difficult configure with the Facebook permisions. And nonestly the support is poor in this feature by IPS.

Facebook doesn't make it easy and it usually stops working unexpectedly. I have a support ticket from April 03, 2020 without resolving.

With this last modification in manage_pages and publish_pages permissions,  it again doesn't work and I have to request new permissions:

The manage_pages permission has been deprecated and replaced with 4 new permissions:

pages_manage_ads

pages_manage_metadata

pages_read_engagement

pages_read_user_content

The publish_pages permission has been deprecated and replaced with 2 new permissions:

pages_manage_posts

pages_manage_engagement

 

Are InvisionCommunity looking for any alternative to promote our content on Facebook?

I do not understand why, to use this function you need to require a thousand approvals (practically impossible to have), while instead IFTTT can publish (even on pages) without any of that...

I already imagine that the IPS staff will say that they have integrated Zapier for systems on cloud currently. but we're talking about a paid system... Can't you integrate a system like IFTTT?

My facebook promotion stopped working awhile ago on 4.4. Glad I'm not the only one having issues with it.

Now I am testing Zapier: I connect Twitter with Facebook. I publish in Twitter with IPS and then zapier publish on Facebook from Twitter

Facebook do make it tricky by constantly changing permissions required and adding new requirements. We'll do our best to keep it up to date, but we are always exploring simpler ways via third parties to publish content to social media channels.

You're right, and that is why it is best to offer good support or other alternatives directly. Maybe through the zapier api would be a good idea.

Still having issues promoting IP.Downloads files. It works if you only select a single image. Anymore it will fail every time.

Really wish there was a way to closely interact with fb groups. Post new topics to groups, return comments to ips, etc.
