Instagram & Facebook Group Scheduling Temporarily Unavailable in SocialOmm (Part 2)
As we explained in our last update here, Instagram and Facebook Group scheduling are temporarily unavailable in SocialOmm.
This has because we have been forced to discontinue our Buffer integration (they are no longer allowing us to access their API) and rollout our new Zapier integration, which allow you to connect your Instagram and Facebook Group account in SocialOmm directly.
As our Buffer Instagram/Facebook Group integration was removed on Oct 31, 2020, if you have posts in SocialOmm that are scheduled to share to your Instagram account or Facebook Group after this date, these will not be shared.
To avoid interruption in your posts being shared during this period – until our Zapier integration is released in January – here are a few options:
OPTION #1: Use Your Free Buffer Account To Schedule Your Posts
Since you created a free Buffer account in order to be able to connect your Instagram/Facebook Group accounts in SocialOmm, why not use it to schedule your posts in Buffer directly?
To do this, you will need to:
- Login to your Buffer account
- Connect your Instagram/Facebook Group accounts to Buffer
- Add your scheduled posts in Buffer by copying/pasting them from your SocialOmm Calendar
Note: Buffer's free plan allows you to schedule 10 scheduled posts at a time to 3 social accounts.
We recommend moving over your scheduled posts for November, December and the first 2 weeks of January. We will keep you updated as to when you'll be able to continue using Instagram in SocialOmm once our Zapier integration is released :-)
OPTION #2: Share Posts Manually
Whilst this is the more time-consuming route, you may just prefer to share your posts manually to your Instagram/Facebook Group.
We really appreciate your support in SocialOmm, and hopefully, your continued support! We wouldn't be here today without you so thank YOU! ❤️
We look forward to making more improvements to SocialOmm so we can continue to offer you an amazing tool that makes your social media scheduling a breeze.
