Facebook-Auto-Poster

With this Program you can post automatic messages on Facebook Groups which you can parameterize in an excel sheet.

Get the program and excel-sheet from GitHub
Have a look at my general Online FAQ in English or German for my tools

Not interested in all that programming stuff?
No problem - get the ready-to-use windows program

Want to buy me a coffee or even a beer ? That would be awesome!

First Steps / Pay Attention

  • Please use it with caution and don´t make any spams on Facebook an their groups - Thanks!
  • Please check whether the chromedriver version matches your currently installed Chrome version - the appropriate chromedriver version can be downloaded here and put it in the same folder of the program
  • The firewall access may be activated the first time the program is started (click on "OK" or "Allow") - The program pulls data through online scrapping and therefore needs online access rights
  • It is best not to edit the Excel sheet during the update - otherwise, in rare cases this can lead to conflicts
  • Make and save settings in the Excel sheet - then start the program - the Excel will be updated

Input Fields in FacebookAutomaticPost.xlsx

  • All input fields are generally in yellow
  • Cell B1: Your Facebook-User for login
  • Cell B2: Your Facebook-Password for login (Caution! Please be aware where to put your excel-sheet with such an information...)
  • Cell B3: If yes / y / ja / j => You can see the working on the windows during program run - otherwise it will run in the background
  • Column B (starting Cell B5): the link name of the Facebook group
    e.g. for the Python group on Facebook the full link is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/python
    so the relevant link for these entry in column B would be "/python"
  • Column D (starting Cell D5): the text-cell which should be posted in the Facebook-group according to the "Text"-worksheet entries

Program workflow

  • Make your inputs in the excel-sheet an save
  • Let the program run...
  • If this post worked without problems - the actual date will be placed in the corresponding cell in column E
  • If there are any errors during the work on a post (e.g. some additional approvement window for the first post) then there will be written "error" in the corresponding cell in column E
    (if the error is only due the approval of the first post - the second run should be fine - so delete the error message and try again)
