Facebook

Facebook has blocked all non-approved applications from posting to a group programmatically. Although Tautulli shouldn't be against their terms, they are refusing to approve any app that can do this.

There only currently known workaround is that Zapier also allows posting to Facebook, see their agent guide for how to set this up. See here for an example Facebook configuration within Zapier.

Old, non-working instructions [This script](https://gist.github.com/spuniun/56624e1464c621c91e52f88e03321582) by [@spuniun](https://github.com/spuniun) could be used to post directly, however, Facebook has started banning accounts using it so it has been removed from the recommended methods. See the [Custom Scripts](Custom-Scripts) page for help setting it up. **Note:** Facebook has [redone their app approval process](https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2018/05/01/enhanced-developer-app-review-and-graph-api-3.0-now-live/), as such **all** apps _must_ go through the approval process fully before they will work again. To work around this you can send notifications via email to the group's secret email address from an account that is in the group. **Note:** As of March 2018, all new Facebook apps require HTTPS for authorization. If Tautulli is not running with HTTPS, the easiest method would be to check "Enable HTTPS" under the Web Interface tab (show advanced). This can be disabled after authorizing with Facebook. 1. Go to [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/apps) and click `Add a New App`. 1. Click Add Product on the left, then click `Set Up` for Facebook Login. 1. Skip the Quickstart and go to Facebook Login > Settings on the left, and fill in the **Valid OAuth redirect URIs** with the one provided by Tautulli. 1. Go to Settings > Basic on the left, and fill in a **Privacy Policy URL**. 1. On the same page, get your **App ID** and **App Secret** and fill in the respective Tautulli settings. 1. Go to App Review on the left, and toggle your app to toggle "Make Public" to `Yes`. 1. Click the `Request Authorization` button in Tautulli to allow it to access your Facebook account. Make sure the app visibility is set to `Public` or `Friends` (`Only Me` will not work). 1. Copy the **Access Token** and fill in the Tautulli setting if it is not filled in automatically. 1. Get your **Group ID** from the URL of your group page (e.g. `https://www.facebook.com/groups/`) and fill in the Tautulli setting. If you have customized the URL and no longer have easy access to the Group ID, see [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8957340/how-do-i-find-my-facebook-group-id) for how to obtain it. _Note:_ You should _only_ put the ID in the setting for Tautulli, not the full URL.
