Blog auto-publish in social settings

When blog auto-publishing is enabled, a new social post will be published on your social accounts when you publish a new blog post. These social posts are published 15 minutes after your new blog post is published. All social posts include the blog post title, link, and featured image. Facebook and Twitter posts also include the blog post’s meta description.

Please note:

• Blog auto-publishing can only be enabled for shared social accounts

• Unpublishing and republishing a blog post will

  not

  re-publish social posts to your social accounts.

• Blog auto-publishing is not available for Instagram accounts because links are not allowed on Instagram posts.

Set up blog auto-publishing

• In your HubSpot account, click the

  settings

  settings icon in the main navigation bar.

• In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Marketing > Social.

• In the accounts table, click Enable in the Blog auto-publish column next to your social account.

Please note:

• On August 1, 2018, Facebook will no longer support third-party applications posting to personal Facebook accounts. As a result, HubSpot will no longer allow posts to be published or scheduled to personal Facebook accounts, and they will not show up in the social composer.
• You can only enable blog auto-publishing for

  one

  Twitter account per blog. For example, if you have two Twitter accounts connected in your HubSpot account, you cannot set them both up to auto-publish for the same blog.
