# How to connect Facebook Groups


### DesktopStart
### Facebook Groups

Facebook Groups offer brands a valuable platform to engage directly with their audience, just like what we're doing with our support group. Following a similar approach with Facebook Profiles, Meta has recently removed public API access for Facebook Groups. We now only have access to the Pages API.

Just like with [Facebook Profiles](https://help.publer.io/en/article/how-to-post-to-facebook-personal-profiles-via-push-notifications-1vxgit9/), posting in Groups now requires the use of reminders. You will first have to connect your Group to Publer, and after that, you will need to [download the Publer Mobile app](https://help.publer.io/en/article/the-publer-mobile-app-17a4cm3/) so you can share your posts to your Group via push-notifications. Learn more about this on our article [here](https://help.publer.io/en/article/how-to-schedule-posts-to-facebook-groups-via-push-notifications-p5xp8j/?bust=1712841027697).

||| Publer won't be able to gather insights, or sync posts, given that we won't have access to the official API any longer. However, you will always be able to find all the posts you share to your Facebook Groups under the Calendar > Posted tab.

### To to add Facebook Groups to Publer:

* Go to [Publer](https://app.publer.io).
* Navigate to the [Social Accounts tab](https://app.publer.io/#/accounts), from the navigation bar in the left.

* After clicking on **Add** you should be able to see a success message and the page will be updated accordingly.

Now that you have connected your Facebook Group to Publer, you can freely schedule your posts via push-notifications. For that, you will need to have downloaded the mobile app of Publer.

### Analytics & Daily Post Limits
  
* Insights won't be available for **Groups** or **Profiles**, only  **Pages**.
* Our daily post limits also apply. You can view them [here](https://help.publer.io/en/article/what-are-the-daily-post-limits-nbtnmu/?1587469190540).

### Keep in mind:

* Since Meta discontinued API for Facebook Groups, we have found a workaround that allows you to share posts **via push-notifications/reminders. **
* Publer won't be able to gather insights, or sync posts, given that we won't have access to the official API any longer. However, you will always be able to find all the posts you share to your Facebook Groups under the Calendar > Posted tab.
* You can't use other post options, such as **Auto-Delete** or **Auto-Share**.
