Posting links to Facebook and Twitter with Autopublisher

Our most recent update to Autopublisher for Hootsuite makes the posting of links to Facebook and Twitter even more useful. Autopublisher offers 3 separate formats for posting:

mceclip0.png
  1. Text
  2. Text + Feed image
  3. Text + Link preview

The three formats will work slightly differently depending upon which network you are using. 

Text format

Text format posts will contain the text and link from your RSS feed items. On Facebook and LinkedIn, you will see text only, i.e. no images. However on Twitter, you may see a link preview:

mceclip1.png

What Twitter displays is determined by the page you are linking to. If in the <head> of the HTML for the page, you have twitter meta tags similar to the ones below:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"></meta> 
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Getting the most out of Syndicator">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Please follow the link to learn more...">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="https://www.synaptive.com/blog/post/getting-the-most-out-of-syndicator">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@synaptive">
<meta property="twitter:image" content="https://blog.synaptive.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/syndicator-howto2.png">

Twitter will generate a link preview, and include it when displaying posts. NOTE: This is only true when viewing the post on twitter.com or with one of the Twitter smartphone apps. Other platforms may or may not display the link preview. If they do not, you will only see text. 

Text + Feed image

For this format, you will see basically the same thing on all three platforms, that is the text from your RSS feed along with the image from the web page that is linked to from your RSS feed’s item. The image will NOT be linked to the web page linked to in the RSS feed item. 

mceclip2.png

To decide which image to send, we look for an og:image meta tag in the header of the HTML for the page linked to by the post. If there isn’t an og:image present, no image will be sent with the post. 

Text + Link preview

This format will generate link previews on Facebook and Twitter. (currently LinkedIn will only display the same format as Text + Feed imageFor Twitter to generate previews, you must include the twitter meta tags, mentioned above, in the pages that are linked to from your RSS feed. If you do not, you will see a text-only post. 

Link previews on Facebook

For link previews to work on Facebook posts, you must authenticate Autopublisher on Facebook first. You will be prompted to authenticate in the Autopublisher stream:

mceclip0.png

Clicking the Authenticate with Facebook button will display the following popup:

mceclip4.png

Click the Login with Facebook button to authenticate on Facebook. After you have authenticated, select Text + Link preview from the Post format menu in the settings for each feed:

Scheduling posts with oneclick.bio

After you have published your oneclick.bio page, you can now either manually add new posts to your oneclick.bio page by clicking the Page Manager icon mceclip0.png and editing your page, or choose to automate their addition by selecting Yes, add scheduled Instagram posts from the Scheduled posts option for each of your Instagram accounts:

mceclip4.png

and now, when your post is sent by Hootsuite, the image and link will be added to your oneclick.bio page automatically. 

2. Add links manually

Clicking the clock icon mceclip1.png for an individual Instagram account will open the Schedule manager popup:

mceclip2.png

The Schedule manager displays all of the scheduled messages you have for your Instagram account. Entering a URL in the URL input box for the post will cause the image to be added to your oneclick.bio page at the scheduled time, linking to the URL you have entered. If you do not enter a URL, the post will not be added to your oneclick.bio page.
