Step 2: Add Lead Connector as an Authorized App
To add an app to your Facebook group, follow these instructions provided by Facebook. Start by accessing your group from your Feed, then click on “Groups” in the left menu. If you don’t see “Groups”, click on “See more” to expand the options. Next, navigate to “Settings” in the left menu. Scroll down until you see “Apps” and click on the adjacent button. From there, select or search for Lead Connector and add it to your group.

Important Note: Connecting Personal Profiles
It’s essential to note that due to API changes made by Facebook, personal Facebook profiles can no longer be connected to external apps like Social Planner. However, you can still connect and manage pages or groups associated with different profiles. This limitation ensures the privacy and security of personal profiles while allowing you to effectively plan and post social content for your business or other non-personal endeavors.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily connect your Facebook groups to the Social Planner platform. This connection enables you to streamline your social planning and posting efforts, ensuring that your content reaches the right audience in your Facebook groups. Remember to ensure your Admin role, add Lead Connector as an authorized app, access Social Planner settings, connect your desired Facebook groups, grant necessary permissions to Lead Connector, verify the connection, and manage your connected groups using the available options. Enjoy the benefits of effective social planning with Social Planner and elevate your social media presence in your Facebook groups.
