Facebook Page Monitoring#
Facebook Page Monitoring watches a Facebook Page for new posts and reposts them to your selected groups. This is different from regular RSS campaigns, which use a standard RSS feed URL.
How it differs from RSS#
| Feature | RSS Campaign | Facebook Page Monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Input | RSS feed URL | Facebook Page URL |
| Detection | Feed parser (every 5 min) | Extension monitors the page |
| Media | Link preview from feed | Images and videos extracted from the page post |
| Requirements | Feed URL only | Extension must be online |
Setup#
- Create an RSS campaign and enter the Facebook Page URL
- PilotPoster detects it as a page monitor (not a standard RSS feed)
- Backend sends a
monitor_rss_page_startcommand to the extension - Extension navigates to the page and watches for new posts
What gets extracted#
When the extension detects a new page post:
- Post text
- Images (with URLs)
- Videos (with URLs)
- Original post URL
This data is sent to the backend, which triggers posting to your selected groups.
Requirements#
- Chrome extension must be online
- You must be able to view the Facebook Page (public page or page you follow)
- Sleep interval between groups applies the same as regular campaigns
Pausing and stopping#
Send a pause or delete command from the dashboard. The extension stops monitoring that page.
If the extension goes offline, page monitoring pauses until it reconnects.
Tips#
- Monitor pages you own or have permission to repost from
- Set longer sleep intervals when reposting to many groups
- Check RSS Logs after each detected post
- Combine with spintax if you want to add your own intro text
