Schedule Facebook posts with Eden
Connect a Facebook Page, then schedule text, photos, videos, and Reels — plus first comments. Learn what Facebook supports and its limits.
Eden schedules and publishes to your Facebook Page alongside the rest of your networks — from Eden's servers, so it posts whether or not your computer is on. This guide covers connecting a Page, what you can post (text, photos, video, and Reels), and the few Facebook-specific rules to know.
Pages only — not personal profiles or Groups
Facebook scheduling works with Facebook Pages. This is a Meta rule, not an Eden one:
- Personal profiles can't be connected. Facebook's API doesn't allow automated posting to a personal timeline.
- Groups aren't supported. Meta retired the Group publishing API in 2024, so no scheduling tool can post to Groups anymore.
If you don't have a Page yet, create one (it's free) and make sure you're an admin of it before connecting.
Connect your Page
- 01
Open Connected accounts
In Eden, go to Settings → Scheduling → Connected accounts and click Connect accounts. Facebook links in the same one-step flow as X, LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram, and TikTok.
- 02
Pick the Page and approve permissions
On Facebook's own login, choose the Page you want to publish from and approve every permission. If you manage several Pages, select the right one — that's the Page Eden will post to.
- 03
Close the window — Eden syncs
When the window closes, Facebook appears with a green Connected badge. If it doesn't show right away, click the refresh icon next to “Connect accounts.”
What you can post
In the Schedule composer, select Facebook as a target (it appears once your Page is connected) and compose as usual. Facebook supports:
- Text posts — up to ~63,000 characters.
- Link posts — paste a URL and Facebook generates the link preview automatically.
- A single photo, or a multi-photo post — multiple images publish as a native swipeable multi-photo post.
- Video — a single video to the feed.
- Reels — attach a single video and turn on Post as Reel to publish to the Reels tab instead of the feed.
- First comment — auto-post a comment right after your post goes live (great for a link or CTA), immediately, after a delay, or once it hits a like threshold.
Reels: a couple of limits
- Single video only. The Post as Reel toggle appears when exactly one video is attached.
- Meta's rate limit. Facebook caps Reels at 30 per Page per 24 hours (a rolling window). Beyond that, Facebook will reject further Reels until the window clears.
What to expect
- Posts from Eden's servers, on time. Unlike Substack, Facebook publishes server-side — your computer doesn't need to be on.
- Honest failures. If a post can't publish (for example, a disconnected Page or a mixed-media post), it lands in the “Attention needed” section at the top of your Queue with a plain-language reason and one-click Publish now / Reschedule actions.
- One credit per post. Publishing costs 1 credit when it goes out, no matter how many platforms it targets — posting to Facebook, X, and LinkedIn together is still 1 credit.
If a Facebook post won't behave, the Scheduling troubleshooting guide covers the common Facebook snags (Pages-only connection, the Accounts Center quirk, and mixed media).
Connect your social accounts
Link X, LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube in one step, connect Substack separately, and understand the requirements for each platform.
Schedule and publish posts
Write a post, pick your platforms, schedule it or publish now, and manage your queue, drafts, and any posts that need attention.
