Automatically post facebook to twitter
Now you are probably wondering in the back of your head.. I want all my business posts to go to my business twitter account not my personal twitter and visa versa.. well I will demystify that in this post as well so you can be sure you are posting only from the right facebook fan pages to the right twitter accounts.
Step 1:
Log into your facebook account
Step 2:
Assume the role of your facebook fan page by clicking in the top right hand corner drop down arrow.
Step 3:
click on the page you would like to sync with twitter.
Step 4:
click edit page in the top right hand corner
Step 5:
click resources
Step 6:
click link your page to twitter
Step 7:
it will tell you you have to continue as yourself to continue, go ahead and click continue
Step 8:
a page like this will appear, click the link to twitter button.
Step 9:
A box will pop up that say authorize app. check to make sure you are logged in as the twitter account you want to link up. If not you need to click sign out. once signed out you will see the same screen this time it will have a login. You can now use the login credentials from the twitter account you wish to link up and click authorize.
There you have it 9 simple steps to easily leverage your time and automatically post your facebook fan page status updates to twitter.
Great tip Ryan! I’ve been doing these two things separately, but now I don’t have to! Awesome.
Thank you – this was perfect.
A question: I’m trying to link status updates etc. to twitter from my personal FB page, but do not see an “edit page” button on the right like you indicate in the video. How can I do this without choosing a fan page?
thanks erin!
thanks ellen.
Hey George, all you have to is go to http://www.facebook.com/twitter/ and it will get you to that page without clicking on the edit page inside a fan page.
I could have just added that to the post I guess :)..
Great video Ryan! So I followed your steps but my Facebook fan page status is still not showing up on my twitter page. Is there another step that I need to do?
Perfect step by step instructions – exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Not shoeing up on Twitter. Is this FB to Twitter or Twitter to FB?
Facebook to twitter
It’s been so long since I’ve done this I forgot how, thanks for the guide!
Hi, can i post facebook update to linkedin ? how ?
I don’t recommend integrating the two. If you have a Facebook personal profile and business page associated with this you run the risk of accidentally posting your Facebook personal status updates to your Twitter business page. This has happened to us numerous times where the accounts were synced correctly and they just break all of the sudden. It’s awful! I suspect it has something to do with app or site updates on either side of Twitter or Facebook and the connection breaks. It’s never worked smoothly for me for more than a month.
