# Post new episodes to Facebook

Connect a Facebook page so that Podigee posts the episode link each time an episode goes live.

Use this task to announce each new episode on a Facebook page automatically. Podigee posts your default text with the link to the episode when the episode goes live.

## Before you start

* You need the owner, admin, or editor role for the podcast, with permission to edit the podcast.
* The Facebook connection needs a paid plan on the account of the podcast owner. The free Launch plan does not include it.
* The podcast must be published and must not be restricted to invited listeners.
* You need a Facebook account that manages the page.

{% tab title="Classic view" %}

### Connect the page

1. Open the podcast and select the **Exports** tab.
2. In the **Others** section, select the **Facebook** tile.
3. Select **Connect Facebook** and sign in to Facebook.
4. Select the page that receives the posts. Podigee reminds you with **You have to select a page in order to post to Facebook** until you do.
5. Enable **Post to Facebook when new a episode is published**.
6. Enter the default text of the posts.

### Expected result

The tile shows the connected page. When an episode goes live, Podigee posts the default text with the episode link to the page. Podigee does not post episodes that arrive through a podcast import.

The episode **Social sharing** tab lists the posts of the episode.

An existing X (formerly Twitter) connection stays active and continues to post. Podigee no longer offers new X connections.

### Disconnect the page

1. Open the **Facebook** tile.
2. Select **Remove connection**.

### If you cannot complete the task

* The tile shows a lock icon: the account of the podcast owner is on a plan without the Facebook connection.
* The podcast owner receives **Problem with one of your connections** or **The credentials of one of your connections are expired**: a post failed, and Podigee disabled the connection. Open the tile and connect the page again.

{% tab title="Podigee workspace" %}
The Podigee workspace does not include a Facebook connection yet. Switch to the classic view to connect a Facebook page and post new episodes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/post-new-episodes-to-facebook.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
