At a glance

What is Looky's Facebook integration?

Looky's Facebook integration is built for local businesses, practices, trades and agencies whose customers follow them on Facebook for news, offers and opening times. Looky turns an approved idea, article or Instagram post into a Facebook post in your brand voice, with its own text rather than a copy. You review and approve; Looky's queue publishes at the planned time and reports each post as published, with a link, or failed, with the reason. Nothing goes out without an approval or an approval rule you set.

How it works

How do you schedule Facebook Page posts with Looky?

You connect your Page once. After that, every Facebook post runs through the same five steps, from the adapted text to the published post.

Facebook posts go out only after an approval or an approval rule you set.

Safeguards

What does Looky check before a Facebook post goes out?

Every Facebook post is checked when it is drafted, when it is approved and again at the planned time.

1While drafting

  1. 01Length and structure
    The Facebook version is checked for length, structure and placeholders.
  2. 02Your words
    Do and don't words from your brand voice are applied.
  3. 03No false promises
    Claims of guaranteed reach or visibility are flagged and removed.

2Approval

  1. 04Your approval mode
    Manual by default; auto-publish or auto-publish with exceptions, for example a keyword rule that holds every post with a price.
  2. 05Edits reset approval
    Editing an approved post invalidates the approval, so the version you approved is the version that goes out.
  3. 06Client links
    Agencies send a link; clients approve each post without an account.

3At the planned time

  1. 07Re-check
    Version, approval and connection are checked before the post is sent.
  2. 08Retries
    Temporary errors are retried with growing pauses; a post that still fails is marked "failed" with the reason, a notification and an email.
  3. 09Reconnect required
    If the Page connection expired or was revoked, the channel shows "Reconnect required" and its posts wait.

Comparison

How does Looky compare with Facebook scheduling tools?

Looky fits when Facebook is one of several channels fed from the same approved knowledge; dedicated social tools cover more networks and include Facebook analytics and inboxes.

FAQ

Questions about Facebook and Looky

Can Looky post to my personal Facebook profile or to groups?

No. Looky publishes to Facebook Pages that you manage; personal profiles and groups are not supported. If your business only has a personal profile, create a free Facebook Page for it first, then connect that Page in Looky. You sign in through Meta, so Looky never sees your Facebook password.

Can Looky post the same content to Facebook and Instagram?

Yes, but adapted rather than copied. One approved idea becomes a separate Facebook post and Instagram post, each with text, length and format for its channel. Each version is reviewed on its own and can be planned for the same or a different time.

Can I plan Facebook posts for offers and events?

Yes. You can plan a Facebook post for any date, for example to announce an offer, an open day or new opening hours, and approve it in advance. Looky publishes it at that time. Looky doesn't create Facebook events themselves; the post announces the event.

Does Looky answer Facebook comments and messages?

No. Looky publishes the posts you approved and reports whether each one went out. Replies to comments and messages stay with you in Facebook or Meta's own apps. Looky drafts replies only for Google reviews, as part of review management, where negative reviews go to a person by default.

Why can't Looky publish to my Facebook Page?

Most often the connection expired or was revoked, or the Page still needs Facebook's Page Publishing Authorization. Looky marks the channel "Reconnect required" and pauses its posts until you sign in again. For the authorization, follow Facebook's steps in the Page settings; Looky can't complete them for you.

Is Facebook still worth it for a local business?

It depends on your customers. In 2025, 63.0% of German businesses with 10 or more employees used social media (Eurostat); the figure covers all networks, not Facebook alone. If your customers follow you there, Looky helps you keep the Page current from content you already approved, but no tool can promise reach.

Facebook is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc.

Keep your Page current from what you already approved.

One idea, a version for every channel, and you decide what goes out.

Looky, the orange robot, waves hello.
