This FAQ will show you the method of sending images and/or video o Facebook Groups with Instagratify or Vista. The method is one that will become a global feature in the future, but until then, the Facebook Group feature will be a little different to other services.
First, we only permit posting to your own Facebook Groups to prevent any account spamming other accounts. We may change this restriction in the future (there's nothing worse than those that share unvetted spammy content around multiple groups - it doesn't have the effect they think it does).
The Facebook Group feature is very hashtag drive. The hashtags used in the Instagram post content will determine the format used when the post sends.
Vista: Whenever Instagratify is mentioned, you should assume that the same method applies when using Vista (the Outlook Calendar Social Media Scheduling Tool). The hashtag methods used for both social media tools is virtually identical.
Instagratify: An FAQ titled "How to Use the Instagram Hashtag-Based Social Media Sharing Module" details how the broader Instagratify system works. The article details tag creation and assignment.
Instagratify Video: An FAQ titled How to Use the Instagram Hashtag-Based Social Media Sharing Module" Sending Video to Social Media with Instagratify[/link] details the formatting options available when creating an Instagram Video post. Instagratify will also send to YouTube
Remember, while this FAQ looks at the Facebook Group result specifically, the post will send to multiple social networks - including your website.
Group Post Formats and Hashtags
The available formats for sending to a Facebook Group are as follows:
- Video. A single video.
- Image. A single image.
- Facebook Group Album. Used when a combination of images and video are created in your Instagram album (a section below details the automatic album creation).
- URL Share. Used to share a URL included in your Instagram post. The resulting Facebook Group post will be sent with the featured image associated with the destination page and a link. Used whenever the post includes a valid URL and the
#linkhashtag. The post can include single or multiple media or any type, but as long as it includes the valid URL and#linkhashtag, the attached media is ignored. - Text Only Share. Used to share text only with no media attached. Used whenever the post includes the
#textonlyhashtag. The post can include single or multiple media or any type, but as long as it includes the valid URL and#textonlyhashtag, the media is ignored.
All these formats are supported for other services - such as Facebook Pages and LinkedIn (Personal or Company) - but the format is usually automatically resolved or defined via the Social Settings panel. Using hashtags will give you far more control over how the content is sent.
Automated Group Album Creation
Facebook Groups only permit a single video or image to be posted to a feed. Multiple media must be posted to an album, and it's here where Groups differs to other types of destinations. If posting multiple images and/or video, an album will automatically be created for you if no title shortcode is present ([title; This is a title]), and if the title shortcode is present, the album will inherit the title shortcode value.
The automated album will generally be created as 'Album, Month Day Year, HH:TT{am|pm}'. If you're activated BeNet and you're trialling the associated AI systems, the album name will be manufactured based on a contextual understanding of the images and/or videos that were shared.
The privacy status of the album is set so that only you may post to that album. However, if you wish to make the album 'open' in nature so that anybody can use it to share images, use the #everyboday hashtag.
The Result
We sent a few test posts to our Facebook Group as examples - the posts include the hashtags (which are usually removed). The result of each post type is shown.
Text Only Post - #textonly
Pictured: Using #textonly as a hashtag in your post will remove all the media and send a standard text update.
URL Post - #link
Pictured: Using #link as a hashtag in your post when the content includes a fully qualified URL will send a post in the URL format.
We use coloured featured images for our FAQ module to indicate which primary module they belong. As such, our featured image is quite boring - yours will hopefully be a little more engaging.
Group Album
Pictured: Posting multiple images and/or video will return an album, with the album name determined by the title shown in title shortcode. If the title shortcode is excluded the title name will automatically be resolved.
Single Image or Video
Pictured: A single video or image will post directly to your feed.
The video has automatically applied the watermark, progress bar, heading, and fade effects during creation. These video attributes are introduced in an FAQ introducing the basics of Instagratify Video.
The Future of Instagratify
The entire social modules is currently in migration to a module called 'Sendify' (replacing the current system). As part of this migration there are a number of additions to the system, but there's also a number of significant changes. One of these changes will likely include the preferred use of hashtags over hard-defined options in the 'Social Settings' panel. We expect to migrate the hashtag use to other platforms sooner than later.
Any changes made to Instagratify generally impact Vista in the same way.
Facebook Groups in Yabber
Facebook Group options may be accessed by first selecting the 'Social' menu item and then following the 'Groups' icon. A growing list of options apply. Group statistics are made available from the primary social menu icon.

About Wistia
Wistia is a third-party service that provides videos hosting for a monthly subscription. It is quite costly, but the platform does provide for three free videos and we encourage all our users to sign up for this offer.
Wistia provides a large number of integrated video features that enable far greater insights into video performance when compared to platforms such as YouTube, and the level of statistical data returned for each user is significant.
Yabber integrates with Wistia in such a way that we effectively emulate most features of that service. This tight level of connectivity enables features such as the email collection turnstiles (or email capture form 'gates' within a video) to be used for engagement and not just consumption.
This FAQ should be read in company with those listed below since when you're updating a video you'll generally update all of the profiles shown at the same time.
- Turnstile Email Collection
- Video Midroll Annotations
- Postroll Call-to-Action
- Video Sharing Profiles
- Video Profile, Style, and Function
Wistia features may be referenced under this article in the 'Related FAQ' section.
