Connect Facebook Pages to X

Facebook and X reach different people at different speeds: your Page builds a community, X spreads news quickly. Posting to both by hand doubles the work. Connecting them means each post goes out on both, written to fit each one.

Build your own

Build any Facebook Pages and X automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Facebook Pages and X 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 post to X if the shortened version still includes the main point and link; otherwise post to Facebook alone and tell me why.

Each week, post a thread on X recapping the three Facebook Page posts with the most reactions.

Use cases

Why people connect Facebook Pages and X

How the two apps work together

  • A schedule or a check every few minutes finds the next item to post, from a list, a feed or a topic.
  • The script writes a Facebook version and a shorter X version, then posts both through each network's API.
  • It records each post ID, so the same item is not posted twice.

  • Brands posting news to two audiences

    Announcements go to the Facebook Page and X at the same time. The X version is shortened to fit.

  • Bloggers sharing new articles

    Each new article is posted to Facebook with a summary and to X with a short hook and link. Readers on both networks find it.

  • Event organisers posting updates

    Schedule changes and reminders are posted to both networks. Attendees see updates wherever they follow.

  • Creators reusing their best posts

    A Facebook post that did well is turned into an X post. Good content goes further without new writing.

More apps

Facebook Pages, X and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Queue posts from a sheet

Post each due row from my Google Sheet to my Facebook Page and to X, shortening the X text to fit, and mark both as posted.

New WordPress posts to both networks

When I publish a new WordPress post, share it on my Facebook Page with a summary and on X with a one-line hook and the link.

Approve posts in Telegram

Draft posts for Facebook and X and send them to my Telegram; publish only after I reply "ok".

Setup

Connect Facebook Pages and X 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.

X

Social

  1. In the X Developer Console, create an app and buy credits.
  2. Under User authentication settings, choose OAuth 2.0 as a Web App (confidential) with the callback https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  3. Use the scopes tweet.read, tweet.write, users.read and offline.access, adding media.write for images.
  4. Enter the client ID and secret under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard. You can use an OAuth 1.0a consumer key and access token for your own account instead.

FAQ

Questions about connecting Facebook Pages and X

Does it handle X's character limit?
Yes. The X version is kept within the limit, with the link shortened by X itself. The Facebook version can be longer.
Which X account posts?
The X account you connect in your ClickRuntime dashboard. Posting needs write access, which you approve when connecting.
Can I attach images on both?
Yes. Images are uploaded to each network separately so they show in full, not as a link.
Will posts go out at the same time?
Yes, within seconds of each other, unless you set a delay for one network.
Do I need X API access?
Yes. Posting needs a developer app on X. X's API tiers change, so check the current post limits for the tier you use.
Can it post threads on X?
Yes. Longer content can be split into a thread, with each part posted as a reply to the previous one.
Does it reply to comments?
Not unless you ask. It only posts what you describe, though you can add comment monitoring or reply drafts.
