Post from twitter to a facebook page

Recently I have been improving my parents website over at Yeldon Wedding Hire.  One of the things that I have been doing is setting up a social media campaign by setting them up a facebook page, a Google+ page, and a twitter feed.  To make the different social channels look like they are being used and updated I wanted them to cross-post items so that when I posted on twitter it posted to facebook, and vice versa.

The twitter account is seperate from my personal accoutn, but facebook pages are seperate entities that dont have a login. How do I get the twitter account to post to facebook on the page and not in my personal stream?

Facebook page to twitter

This is the easy part. Go to your page on facebook, and click the edit page button up the top right (at the time of writing).

  1. Once there click on Resources and click the “Link your Page to Twitter” link
  2. Click the link to twitter button next to the page that you want to post from.Link to twitter
  3. Fill out the Twitter oAuth page that appears.Twitter oAuth
  4. You should get redirected back to facebook where you can choose what facebook posts to twitter.Facebook twitter settings
Thats the easy part, but how do you get Twitter to post to your page and not your feed?

Twitter to Facebook page

  1. The first thing that you need to do is to add the twitter app to your facebook page. The easiest way is to follow this link to the twitter app feed on facebook.
  2. Click the link down the left to add the app to your pageadd to my page
  3. Choose the page you want to add it to, and click the link on the right.
  4. Next, go to your twitter profile, and click the connect to facebook link at the bottom of the page.connect to facebook
  5. Once connected to facebook, you can untick the box that posts as you, and select the page that you just added the app to.Link to page
  6. Click save and you’re all done. You twitter feed is now posting to your Facebook page
I hope this helps someone out there who is having the same problem as I was

    Bummer. From the Twitter website: “If you have previously removed the Twitter app from the app settings in your Page Manager on Facebook, there is currently no way to reconnect. We are working on a fix and hope to have one soon. Follow @Support for updates.”
