Connect Facebook Pages to WordPress

Many readers still find a blog through its Facebook Page. Connecting WordPress and Facebook Pages shares each new post with a caption that suits the feed, and can write and announce posts on a schedule so your Page and site stay active together.

Ideas

What you can do with Facebook Pages and WordPress

New WordPress posts shared on your Facebook Page, and scheduled posts published to both. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
Every 15 min for new published postsAI

Share each new WordPress post on your Facebook Page

Every time you publish a blog post, a Facebook post with a short caption and the link goes out on your Page within 15 minutes.

Publish a scheduled blog post and share it on Facebook

Build your own

Build any Facebook Pages and WordPress automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Facebook Pages and WordPress in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Only share posts in the "News" category and write a 2 sentence intro with a question.

Every Wednesday, share one older post from my evergreen list.

Setup

Connect Facebook Pages and WordPress once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Facebook Pages

Social

  1. Easiest: in Business Settings, open Users, then System Users, add a system user and assign it your Page and your app.
  2. Generate a token for it with pages_show_list, pages_manage_posts and pages_read_engagement, and save it as a secret on Connections & secrets in the ClickRuntime dashboard.
  3. Or create your own Business app at developers.facebook.com, add Facebook Login for Business and set the redirect URI to https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  4. Request the same scopes, make sure your account can create content on the Page, then enter the app ID and secret under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard.

WordPress

CMS

  1. In wp-admin, go to Users and open your profile, or the profile of the user the automation should act as.
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords, type a name such as ClickRuntime, and choose Add New Application Password.
  3. Copy the generated password straight away, along with the WordPress username it belongs to.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save the username and Application Password as a secret on Connections & secrets, together with your site address.
