First you need to select one of the pre-configured Facebook account(s). When there's only one pre-configured account available, it will be selected automatically. After an account has been selected, the other controls will be enabled.

The list of target(s) will be loaded once an account has been selected. It includes the selected Facebook account's timeline, as well as one or more Facebook pages that have been created for this account. 

Publication date

You can choose a publication date for the post, which means it's publication will be scheduled. When this field is left empty, the post will be published on Facebook immediately when you click the Save button.

The expiration date shown above the publication date input, represents the expiration date of the access token which belongs to the selected target. You can not set a publication date beyond this expiration date.

It is required to include a message text within a post. 

Add link

The add link button allows you to include an item link within the message text. It will open a subaction which allows you to select an item and an available channel for this item.

When you click the Ok button, the item link will be copied to the message text.

To adjust an already posted Facebook message, just select it from the list and click the Edit button.

You will be able to alter the message text itself, it is not supported to add an image to an existing post or alter an existing post which contains an image.

Just click the Save button to update the existing Facebook post.

Remove Facebook post

To remove an existing post from Facebook, make sure only one existing Facebook post is selected and click the Delete button.

You have to choose one of the three options:

• Only remove the record within the database (the post itself will remain available on Facebook).
• Remove the post from Facebook (the record within the database will remain and the status of the post will be set to Removed).
• Remove the post from Facebook and remove the record from the database.

Select an option and click the Delete button.

Delete multiple records

If you just want to delete the records of multiple Facebook posts from the database, you can select these multiple posts within the library and click the Delete button. Once confirmed, the records will be deleted but the posts itself will remain on Facebook.
