How to Schedule Posts on Facebook Groups (and More!)

If you operate a Facebook group for your business, it can function as an excellent space to connect with like-minded individuals and discuss topics related to your industry. However, crafting posts and managing the group on a regular basis can quickly become too much. Being able to schedule posts on Facebook groups can save you time and energy that might be spent managing other social media platforms. Check out how to do it below!

How to Schedule Posts on Facebook Groups

You can schedule posts on Facebook groups using two different methods. You can do it through the Facebook app itself, or use a third-party app. In this blog, we’ll teach you both the ways to schedule posts on Facebook groups!

Schedule Posts on Facebook Groups Through the Facebook App

Remember, you can only schedule posts on Facebook groups that you moderate or are an admin of.

Here’s how you can schedule a post on Facebook groups if you’re an admin or moderator:

1. Open the group you want to post to.
2. Click on the text box that says, “What’s on your mind, ___?”
3. Type your post into the box.
4. Instead of clicking on “post” click on the little calendar icon beside that button.
5. Schedule your post as per the date and time you want it to go up.
6. Click on “schedule” and you’re done!

If you wish to check out or reschedule your scheduled posts, go to the “admin tools” column and find the “scheduled posts” tab at the bottom.

However, the only downside is that you can only schedule one Facebook group post at a time. If you want to schedule multiple Facebook posts to multiple Facebook groups, you’ll need to use a third-party app.
