How It Works

Find Your Facebook Integration

List your connected accounts and grab your Facebook integration ID. You can also fetch available settings to see what options are supported.

Discovery

# List all integrations
postiz integrations:list

# Filter for Facebook
postiz integrations:list | jq \
  '.[] | select(.identifier=="facebook")'

# Get Facebook settings schema
postiz integrations:settings <facebook-id>

Prepare Your Content

Write your post content and optionally upload media. For link posts, just include the URL in settings — Facebook generates the preview automatically.

Prepare

# Upload an image (optional)
RESULT=$(postiz upload photo.jpg)
IMAGE_URL=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.path')

echo $IMAGE_URL
# https://uploads.postiz.com/photo.jpg

# Or just use a link URL in settings
# for rich link previews

Create Your Post

Schedule a Facebook post with your content, optional media, and platform-specific settings like link URL for rich previews.

  -c "We just launched our new feature!" \

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your Facebook integration, composes your post with a link preview if needed, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Share our new blog post on Facebook
  with a link preview, schedule for
  tomorrow morning

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "New on our blog: How to..." \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"url":
      "https://example.com/blog/
      how-to-automate"}' \
    -i "facebook-id"

Facebook + Other Platforms

Schedule the same content to Facebook and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Post to Facebook and Instagram simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Big announcement! Check out our latest update." \
  -m "$IMAGE_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T10:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{"url":"https://example.com/update"}' \
  -i "facebook-id,instagram-id"
