Autoposting to Facebook

Social Networks Auto Poster {SNAP}

Plugin for WordPress

SNAP can publish text messages, upload images and share links to Facebook pages and groups using approved free native API apps or to profiles, pages and groups using NextScripts Premium API.

How does it work?

You publish new blog-post, article, page, WooCommerce product, event, or any other WordPress custom post type and SNAP will automatically share it to Facebook. SNAP also can re-post existing WodPress posts to Facebook both manually and automatically.

Where can SNAP Autopost?

Depending on the API that you are using SNAP can autopost to Facebook User Profiles, Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups (Open, Closed, Secret).

Free Native Facebook API

Facebook Pages*
Facebook Groups*
*Both Pages API and Groups API require an explicit approval from Facebook

NextScripts Premium API

Facebook User Profiles
Facebook Pages (All kinds)
Facebook Groups (Open, Closed, Secret)
Facebook Groups as Page

What is API? Why do I need it?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. Basically in our case it’s a library that allows plugin’s PHP code to interact with external platforms. APi could be native (provided by the platform itself) or third party. Some networks provide native API for free, some networks provide native API for money (usually monthly payments), some networks don’t have native APIs and third party API library is required. Also some networks restrict the usage of their native API.

What about Facebook?

Facebook had an unrestricted free native API until May 1, 2018. After that Facebook removed an ability to post to profiles and put an “app review/approval” restriction.  You can still use the free native Facebook API, but you need submit a very complicated application for review and wait 12-16 weeks for approval. Alternatively you can get NextScripts Premium API. It’s not free, but it works right away, does not require any reviews and can post to profiles, pages and groups.

Native API vs Premium API

You can choose what API to use.  (Why there are two different APIs for Facebook)

Native Facebook API

Free official built-in API from Facebook. Requires review and approval from Facebook. Can post to Pages and Groups if/once Facebook approves your request.
Advantages: Free. Official.
Disadvantages:  Can’t post to Profiles. Can be used only if Facebook approves your app. (Current review/approval time is 12-16 weeks). Very complicated to setup. Unstable due to constant Facebook changes. Your site must use HTTPS.

NextScripts Premium API for Facebook

Premium API with extended functionality. Can post to Profiles, Pages and Groups. Very easy to setup.
Advantages: Can post to Profiles, Pages and Groups. No waiting and no review is required. Very easy to setup.
Disadvantages:  Unofficial. Not Free.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!

SNAP is just great. Have it installed for over a year and no complaints so far. I use it to post to Facebook, Twitter and Google+. There are are many customization options. The paid version is also well worth the money.

Excellent plugin

NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster puts all other auto-posters to shame, this is a excellent professional product.
To get the full benefits though you do need to buy the pro version otherwise it will get very frustrating knowing what you could do but can’t but it is not overly expensive.

This plugin is a game changer

This is the most useful plugin out there. Not so easy to config, but does it’s job perfectly. So good for SEO and driving traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use it on multiple sites?

Our licenses are issued on "Per User" basis. It means you can use one license on all your sites, but you can't give it to other people. You can use Plugin and API libraries on all your sites/blogs, the only requirement is that all those sites/blogs must be yours. You can’t re-sell or re-distribute the “Pro” Plugin and API libraries or websites with per-installed “Pro” Plugin and API libraries, neither you can’t install plugin and API libraries for your clients. If you would like to install SNAP to your clients, you need to purchase a separate license for each one of them.

If you are interested in re-selling plugin or would like to install it for your clients you can look at our affiliate program (https://www.nextscripts.com/affiliates/) or developers/resell packages: (https://www.nextscripts.com/developer-and-resale-licenses/)

Is it safe to use?

Is it safe to use? Will my social networks accounts be suspended if I autopost? Is it some kind of Blackhat SEO tool? Can I use it for mass postings?

SNAP is not a spam tool. SNAP is not a Blackhat SEO tool. SNAP is not a tool for bypassing any rules of the site where you are autoposting. You need to follow all terms and guidelines of any site or social network you are working with.
None of the networks we support suspend accounts simply based on the fact that you are autoposting there. Do not post spam or content that is not allowed, do not post more posts then allowed, do not abuse the network in any other way and it will be fine.
If you account got suspended for abuse/spam or any other reasons, please contact the social network directly, we can’t explain why that happened.
