Will People Know I'm Using SmarterQueue?

Changes to Facebook Groups Publishing

Facebook unexpectedly decided to remove Groups API access, preventing any third-party tools, including SmarterQueue, from interacting with your Facebook Groups. After April 22nd, 2024, SmarterQueue will no longer be able to publish directly to groups you manage. You can still schedule posts for these groups, but will receive email notifications for easy manual posting instead. You may also wish to consider transitioning to a Facebook Page for better engagement.

Each social network has different rules for how your posts will be treated when published by third-party tools.

Publishing To Facebook

Facebook Pages, display a “Published by SmarterQueue” link, but it is not visible to your Facebook followers. This is only visible to the page admins.

The post will appear to be published by the Page itself. The reason Facebook shows this is to Page managers is so that you and other Page admins can keep track of who added the posts to your page; whether they were added by you, another page admin, or an app you use.

This is how the post will appear to page admins.

Your followers will not see any branding.

Publishing To Twitter

Your followers won’t see any indication that you’re using SmarterQueue to publish your posts when browsing through their Twitter Feed.

Your Tweet will only show that it was created via SmarterQueue if you access it to view it individually. 

This applies to all 3rd party applications, as well as the multiple ways to post on Twitter individually, like iOS app, Android app, or Web Browser. 

The only exception on the Twitter Feed comes up if you publish a video that is longer than 140 seconds. 

These longer videos can’t be published natively on Twitter, so we host them on our own servers. Your audience will see a link to your video in your post, that points to the video hosted on our servers.

Publishing To LinkedIn

Text posts to LinkedIn will show no indication of being published with SmarterQueue. LinkedIn’s API restricts third-party apps from publishing images and videos natively. So, we will host your images and videos on SmarterQueue servers. 

If you post an image or a video to LinkedIn, your audience will see a SmarterQueue link pointing to your media hosted on our servers.

Publishing To Instagram

On Instagram, you publish your posts yourself (with help from SmarterQueue).  

We don’t post on your behalf so your audience will not know that you are using a scheduling tool.

Publishing To Pinterest

On Pinterest, you can create and publish your own content or re-share content from your boards and boards you follow and there will be no indication you are using SmarterQueue.
