## What she can post to Facebook

Facebook is the one network where the caption almost never runs out of room. Sixty-three thousand characters, with or without a photo, and she can still drop a background behind the short ones.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Character limit" icon="text-width">
    63,206 characters
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media" icon="photo-film">
    Optional. Text alone, photos, or one video
  </Card>

  <Card title="Post types" icon="layer-group">
    Feed post, photo set, Reel, story, background text post
  </Card>

  <Card title="Analytics" icon="chart-line">
    Yes, for the page and for each post
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Page numbers come back as impressions, media views and post engagement, plus follower count. Per post she reads impressions, clicks and reactions.

| **Post settings** | `post_type`, `url`, `text_format_preset_id`. Full schema in the [Facebook settings reference](/public-api/providers/facebook) |
| **Connect flow**  | Two steps. You authorize the Meta app, then pick which page to attach                                                         |
| **Automations**   | None                                                                                                                          |

<Warning>
  A few shapes Facebook will not take:

  * **Story should have at least one media.** Feed posts run fine on text alone, stories do not.
  * Background presets apply to text-only posts on a page, capped at 130 characters. Attach a photo or write past the cap and the post publishes as plain text instead.
  * **Photos should be smaller than 4 MB and saved as JPG, PNG.**
</Warning>
