I am sharing a simple utility I created. It’s a simple Node.js daemon that publishes a Discourse post to Facebook Group. [https://github.com/jsdevkr/discourse-facebook-auto-publish](https://github.com/jsdevkr/discourse-facebook-auto-publish) This is in use on my [jsdev.kr site](https://jsdev.kr) and will be updated continuously. It would be an honor if you left the github star. Thank you. ---

@engross so every time someone post at Discourse it automatically post to fb group? Or are there any limitations? Thanks. Nice work on this. I hope it’s can be plugin so no need to run a separate app all the time. ---

@chi There is no limit now. Authors can edit or delete immediately after writing, only provide `POSTED_AFTER_MIN` option. ---

Thanks for creating this… I have a need to publish new topics to a facebook page. How much effort would that require do you think? or… is it something I can do via webhook? ---

If I remember correctly, Facebook policies prohibit automatic posting without user consent. The API is to help user publish to Facebook, but the process itself should be accompanied by the user. ---

Can this be used to poll fb and post on discourse? By the way, thanks for sharing! ---
