Schedule posts to Facebook Groups

Connect Facebook, install the PurrPlan browser extension, queue Group posts in the calendar (or via MCP drafts). The extension publishes from your logged-in browser session — where classic schedulers stop.

In short — connect Facebook, install the PurrPlan browser extension, queue Group posts in the calendar (or MCP drafts). The extension publishes from your browser session. Complementary to Pages API — not a Hootsuite-killer pitch.

The 5 steps

1

Connect Facebook in PurrPlan

In your workspace, connect Facebook as you would for a Page. Group / personal-profile destinations then go through the extension — complementary to the Pages API, not a magical Graph replacement.

2

Install the browser extension

Install the PurrPlan extension (Chrome / Chromium). That’s the publish path for Facebook Groups, Skool and personal Facebook profiles.

Extension : voir /extension — destinations Groupes / Skool / profil FB perso
3

(Optional) MCP agent for drafts

Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT can create drafts via MCP; the extension remains the Groups publish path. Typical config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purrplan": {
      "url": "https://app.purrplan.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Queue Group posts in the calendar

Create or schedule the post to the Group destination in the PurrPlan calendar. Sample agent prompt (drafts):

Prepare 3 drafts for my Facebook Groups [names] about [topic], slots this week. Create PurrPlan drafts only, do not publish. I’ll approve; the extension will publish.
5

The extension publishes from your session

When the slot hits, the extension uses your logged-in Facebook browser session. You stay in control: draft → approval → publish.

What this changes (honestly)

Not a Hootsuite-killer pitch

Honest angle: Groups + Skool + personal FB profile via extension, on top of 12 API networks.

Vs Postiz / Post Bridge

See /comparatif/postiz and /comparatif/post-bridge — differentiator here is Groups via extension + MCP.

Same calendar as Pages

One tool for Pages (API) and Groups (extension).

MCP agents welcome

Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT draft; the extension publishes Group destinations.

🔒 Limits to know

The extension depends on your Facebook browser session. Keep draft → approval. For MCP agents, scoped tokens. No official Graph API promise for Groups: that’s exactly why the extension exists.

Frequent questions

Why not the Graph API for Groups?+

Groups are no longer a reliable path for classic schedulers via the public API — hence the browser extension (same positioning as /extension).

MCP too?+

Yes: agents draft; the extension publishes Group destinations. See Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT tutorials.

Vs Postiz or Post Bridge?+

Honest comparatifs: /comparatif/postiz and /comparatif/post-bridge. Angle here is Groups via extension + MCP, not a generic feature dump.

How much does it cost?+

Same plans (Starter €9 / Pro €19 / Agency €39). Extension called out on Founders lifetime and the extension product page.
