Page vs Profile vs Group confusion
Publishing APIs target Facebook Pages, not personal profiles. Scheduling to the wrong asset type means silent failures after you already planned the week around that slot.

Schedule Facebook Page posts without Meta Business Suite tab fatigue
Facebook Pages deserve the same cadence as your other channels. Content Drifter schedules Page posts with hook-first copy, auto-compressed images, and Gold Slots — not another browser tab for every slot.
Why manual scheduling fails on Facebook
"See More" truncates at ~480 characters
Long posts hide links and CTAs below the fold. Scheduling a week of LinkedIn-length essays to Facebook wastes each slot's reach potential.
Oversize images fail at fire time
Facebook's practical photo cap is ~4 MB even when docs mention higher limits. Manual schedulers often queue assets that fail when the cron fires — not when you upload.
How Content Drifter schedules Facebook posts
Page-only scheduling clarity
Connect a Facebook Page via Meta OAuth; the calendar only accepts Page-eligible content so you do not queue unpublishable drafts.
Auto-compress before slot
Images are resized to ~4 MB practical limit before the scheduled publish — not as an emergency fix at 9 a.m.
Gold Slots for Facebook
Heuristic peaks like Tuesday 9 a.m. and Wednesday noon (business NA) from scheduling-service — personalized on Pro from your Page engagement.
Starter+ included
Facebook and Instagram scheduling ship together on Starter ($19/mo). Auto-Pilot batch optimization is Pro+.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I post on Facebook?
1–2 Page posts per day is plenty for most communities; 3–5 per week works for smaller Pages. Content Drifter helps you stay consistent without spamming the feed.
Can I bulk-schedule Facebook posts?
Yes. Queue multiple Page posts with individual times on the content calendar. Each validates media and length before its slot.
What if I want to skip a day?
Delete or move scheduled posts anytime before publish. QStash jobs respect calendar state at fire time.
Does Content Drifter respect time zones?
Yes. Page scheduling uses your account IANA timezone for display and dispatch.
Can I schedule to a Facebook Group?
No — Meta's publishing API targets Pages (and cross-post flows). Schedule to a Page you manage; Groups require native admin posting today.
