HubSpot supports integration with Facebook Fan Pages (a.k.a. Facebook Business Pages). This will allow you publish your blog posts to your Facebook page automatically, post directly from your HubSpot Social Media tool to your page, and track the reach of your Facebook page over time.
1. Go to the social media accounts page
Start with yourÂ
Settings.
Scroll down and click
Social Media Settings.
2. Add your Facebook account
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for HubSpot to connect to your Facebook Fan Page,
HubSpot first needs to connect to your personal profile so that we can detect which fan pages you are an admin of. Then you will be able to connect your Fan Page. This is a necessary step, but we assure you that we will NOT automatically start sharing your blog posts on your personal profile. You need to specifically opt in to this publishing feature for that to happen.
Click the
Add Account button at the top of the screen.
Select
Facebook.
HubSpot will then check to see if you are logged in to Facebook. If you are not, you will be prompted to log in. You will then see this authentication screen, on which you must click
Allow. Again, this is a necessary step in order for HubSpot to detect your fan pages.
3. Connect HubSpot to your business page
Great! You should now see that your personal profile is connected to HubSpot.
Scroll down the page to the Publishing and Reach section. You will now see all of your publishing options next to your personal profile and your fan pages. You'll want to turn on the options next to your Fan Page by checking each item.
Here's what turning on each option will do:
-
Reach - adds your Facebook page fan count to your Reach report
-
Blog auto publish - every time you publish a new blog post, it will automatically be shared on your Facebook page. Note: if you want your blog post image to appear on Facebook, keep this option turned OFF and share each new post manually.
-
Follow Me - adds your Facebook fan page to your Follow Me module
That's it! Your Facebook Fan Page is now connected with HubSpot.
