How to link twitter and facebook posts
How to Post Facebook Posts Automatically to Twitter
By Mel Hawthorne 12 Comments
Social media engagements are one of the main ways companies and businesses engage with their customers these days – and both Facebook and Twitter are important tools for this type of engagement.
Despite this, reposting everything you share on Facebook on Twitter is time-consuming and often impractical. Thankfully, you can automate this fairly easily – by setting up an automatic cross-posting function.
Here’s how to do that:
-
Confirm Facebook settings
In order to be able to do this, you need to make sure that a few settings are correct on your Facebook. First off, you need to make sure your app platform is turned on so that other apps can connect to it. Go to your Account settings, followed by General Account Settings. Click on Apps on the left side to get to app settings – here, the platform option needs to be set to On.
The other thing you need to confirm is the privacy setting of your posts themselves. In order for them to be cross-postable, the individual settings for it need to be switched to Public. You can do this manually on each post, or via the Privacy settings page.
-
Link your accounts
The next step is to connect your accounts. Go to the URL http://www.facebook.com/twitter. Click on the green Link My Profile to Twitter button. You can link multiple Facebook pages to your Twitter site – just enter your username and password in the relevant fields.
Click on the Authorize App button. When the authorization is complete, you’ll see a list of all the types of posts that can be posted directly to Twitter. By default, all possible posts are selected, but you can easily turn off the ones you don’t want posted here. Make sure that the checkboxes match what you want to post (or not to post).
-
Activate the cross-posting
When you are done, click on Save Changes. As soon as you do, the cross-posting starts, and any and all future posts that match the criteria you set will automatically posted to your Twitter.
Tip: While you can, of course, share pictures and videos, the actual files won’t be cross-posted – instead, Twitter will post a link to the original Facebook image or video. Contrarily, hashtags attached to Facebook posts WILL be carried across to Twitter.
Ending the cross-posting
There are two ways to end the cross-posting if you no longer want it. You can either do it on Twitter or on Facebook. For the former, log into your Twitter and go to your settings. Under the Apps section there, you’ll see a list of all the apps that can access your Twitter – including Facebook. Simply revoke access there, and the auto-posting will stop. If you want it back, you can either set it up from scratch or if you haven’t left the Apps page yet, you can click the Undo revoke access button there. Be aware that once you have closed or left that page, the undo button will no longer be there and you will have to set it up from scratch after all.
The other option is to revoke access via Facebook.
Go back to the http://www.facebook.com/twitter page, and you’ll be able to turn off auto-posting for post types. By turning it off for all types, there will effectively be no more posting. You can turn it back on any time. If that’s not enough, you can unlink Facebook from Twitter as well – by clicking on the Unlink from Twitter button on the http://www.facebook.com/twitter page.
Tip: It doesn’t matter whether you unlink from Facebook’s side or from Twitter’s – the effect is the same. It’s NOT necessary to do both – in fact, it isn’t possible. Once you have unlinked one, the option to do so disappears from the other.

If you share a lot with family, friends, or colleagues on Facebook, it can be a pain to have to manually post updates to multiple social media platforms.
Luckily, you can connect your Twitter account to Facebook so that your Facebook posts appear on both sites simultaneously.

How to link social networks Twitter and Facebook (repost from Facebook to Twitter)
If you use several social networks, you probably want to save some time by automating posting the same information to different services. When adding a new entry, for example, to Instagram, the system allows you to choose the placement of the photo on Facebook and Twitter as well. But how to connect these projects? Both of them, in principle, are used to post some personal notes about life, so the task of duplicating records can occur quite often. In this post, we will consider the forward and reverse directions of posting + several implementation options.
Repost from Facebook to Twitter via IFTTT
I already talked about the IFTTT service - an extremely useful and versatile thing.
You can set up a trigger that reads a certain condition from one service (Facebook) and performs a given action (posting) on another site (Twitter). Actually, I now have a repost from Facebook to Twitter configured just through this mechanism.
If you take a close look at the picture above, you will notice that the trigger condition is to post the link to Facebook. That is, I post on my Twitter only those records where there are links. This little detail is the main advantage of using IFTTT - you can set up all kinds of filters and conditions for crossposting, and not just broadcast everything . For example, you can enable the task to run only if there is a certain #fortwitter hashtag, etc.
Through IFTTT, you can easily set up a repost from the social network Twitter to Facebook and vice versa. If you enter the query “facebook twitter” in the search bar of the service, then it will give out hundreds of recipes (task options). You just have to find the right ones.
Here are a couple of them:
Automatic tweets with FB statuses
Shering of new links from Facebook on Twitter
Posting on Twitter when loading new images
Broadcasting Twittes and Retwitts to FB
Autopostics on a given hashteg
9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 in FB pages
Recipes can be created independently without ready-made options - to do this, click on the link / button "Create a Recipe" and set all the settings step by step.
How to link Twitter and Facebook
Both services have the ability to link Twitter and Facebook social networks to each other using built-in basic functions. First, let's look at how to connect Twitter to Facebook. This will automatically post your tweets and retweets on your FB wall. The algorithm is as follows:
1. Go to the "Settings" of your Twitter account.
2. There you select the "Apps" section of applications.
3. On the page you will see the button "Connect to Facebook".
Click on her.
4. If you are not logged into Facebook, you will have to enter your login/password. Then information will appear in a pop-up window about what data the application reads (info from the profile, date of birth). Click "Continue".
5. In the next step, you will need to select a category (group) of users that your tweets will see: "friends", "everyone" or other lists.
6. Click "OK" and you will see the result of connecting Twitter to Facebook.
There are marked settings for posting tweets and reposts to your Facebook profile. Replays are not sent. By the way, below you will find the “Allow posting to one of your pages” option, with which you can set up posting information to Facebook pages. If there are any errors during the integration process, you can look at the help. (Some typical situations are analyzed there).
How to link Facebook and Twitter
Finally, let's try to link Facebook to Twitter. For these purposes, there is a special page in FB.
Here you click on the "Link my profile to Twitter" button, after which a classic Twitter authorization request will appear with information on how the application works. It will be able to read tweets from the feed, post new ones, see followers. At the same time, access to direct messages is naturally closed. You need to click on the "Authorize App" button.
The next step displays the settings form (as in the picture above), where you specify the types of posts that will be posted on Twitter: statuses, links, photos, notes, events, etc. It is important to note that only public entries (“for everyone”) are reposted.
Sounds like it's not difficult, but unfortunately, I personally did not manage to link Facebook to Twitter in this way. After completing all the steps, an error message appears. I didn’t find any information about this on the network, and most of the entries about how to link social networks Twitter and Facebook are already several years old.
Perhaps since then this function has had some problems. Therefore, for now, I will use the IFTTT service for reposting from Facebook to Twitter.
It is interesting to read about your experience of connecting the data of two social networks. Perhaps I did not take into account some nuance.

How to connect Facebook and Twitter (link and broadcast news)
Integration of social networks is a useful and demanded function among active Internet users. For example, you can link Facebook and Twitter so that your posts are automatically duplicated without any additional steps. And to make it easier than ever. We provide detailed instructions below.
So, you already have working accounts in both social networks that you actively (or not very actively) use. Duplicate publications manually frankly annoying, so there is a great way to automate the process - to link existing profiles with each other.
You can do this at least in one, at least in another social network. This is purely a matter of your convenience. We will show you both ways so you can choose the one that suits you best.
Method 1. Through Facebook
You can integrate a Twitter page with a Facebook one as follows:
1. Follow the special link https://www.facebook.com/twitter.
2. Click "Link my profile to Twitter" or "Link page to Twitter".
3. Click on "Authorize app".
Integration completed! Now it remains only to select the categories of messages that will be published on Twitter. By the way, this can be done at any time, so it is not necessary to set the parameters immediately.
Method 2. Through Twitter
You can link Facebook and Twitter pages to each other through the second social network. It is also very easy to do this:
1. Log in to your Twitter account.
2. In the header of the page, click on your avatar and select "Settings".
3. Go from the menu column on the left to the "Apps" section.
4. Click Connect to Facebook.
5. In the window that appears, click "Ok" to link the accounts.
Now you can broadcast news on two "channels" at once. By the way, there is also a choice of published content. You might want to share only photo album updates, or maybe it's more important for you to share information from your Facebook account wall. In any case, you can edit the published categories at any time. And remember one detail of yours - only those posts that you have designated as public are duplicated. The private ones will remain private; intended for certain categories of users.
In addition, you can not link profiles to each other, but simply post a link to your Twitter account on FB. It is done like this:
1. Log in to Facebook using your account information.
2. Go to your profile page, and then click on the "Information" section in the profile header.
3.
