Benefits of Connecting Twitter to Facebook Business Page
Linking your Twitter account to your Facebook business page can offer several benefits that make managing your online presence more efficient and effective. Here are some key advantages of this synchronization:
- Time Efficiency: Synchronizing your Facebook and Twitter accounts saves you time by allowing you to manage both platforms simultaneously. No need to switch back and forth between them; you can easily post on both at once.
- Stay Updated and Active: With Facebook and Twitter being two of the most widely used social media platforms worldwide, linking your accounts helps you stay up to date with the latest news and trends. Keeping both portals updated with your daily activities boosts your social presence and engagement.
- Enhanced Cybersecurity: By connecting your accounts, you can enable features like two-step verification, enhancing the security of your personal and business data. This helps you maintain better control over the devices with access to your accounts.
- Simultaneous Posts: Synchronization allows you to make simultaneous posts on both platforms. When you publish something on Facebook, you have the option to instantly share it on Twitter as well with a simple click. This feature can be permanently enabled for all your future posts or used selectively for specific content.
Are you eager to connect your Twitter account to your Facebook business page? Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide, and it’s super easy!
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on How To connect Twitter account to Facebook business page:
1. First, log in to your Twitter account, specifically your business Twitter account or the one you want to use for posting on your business page.
2. Now, look for a little gear icon at the top of the page and select ‘Edit Profile’ from the options.
3. As you scroll down, you’ll find a shiny ‘Connect to Facebook’ button. Go ahead and click on it.
4. A small window will pop up, asking if Twitter can connect to your profile (your personal one). Just click ‘Okay’ to proceed.
5. You might see another window with a message that says, “Twitter would like to post to your friends on your behalf.” No worries, simply click ‘Okay’ again.
6. Fantastic! Your Twitter account is now connected to Facebook!
But hold on, maybe you don’t want to post on your personal profile; you just want to post on your business page. I totally get it!
7. To make sure you post to your business page, uncheck those two boxes and click on ‘Allow posting to one of my pages.’
8. If you manage more than one page, don’t fret; just choose the specific page you want to post to.
9. Oh, there’s one more window that might pop up, saying, ‘Twitter would like to manage your pages.’ Not to worry, simply click ‘Okay.’
10. Voilà! You’ve done it! You’ve successfully connected your Twitter account to your Facebook business page, and now you can easily post updates, share content, and engage with your audience across both platforms.
How to Automatically Share Facebook Posts on Twitter?
In this part, We’ll walk you through the process of setting up automatic posting from your Facebook account to Twitter.
Step 1. Check Facebook Settings
First, make sure your Facebook app is set up correctly. Go to your Account Settings and find the app settings. Check that the app is turned on to connect with other apps. Also, ensure that the privacy settings for your posts are set to “Public” so they can be shared.
Step 2. Connect Your Accounts
Visit the website http://www.facebook.com/twitter and click the “Link My Profile to Twitter” button. Enter your Twitter username and password to link the accounts.
After authorizing the app, you’ll see a list of posts that can be shared on Twitter. Choose the ones you want to share, and you can remove any you don’t want to post on Twitter.
Step 3. Use Cross-Posting
Save the changes, and the cross-posting will be activated. Now, your selected Facebook posts will automatically appear on your Twitter account if they meet the privacy settings you’ve chosen.
That’s it! By following these steps, your Facebook posts will be shared on Twitter without any extra effort, making it easier to keep both accounts updated with your latest updates and news.
How to Stop Twitter from Posting to Facebook?
If you link your Twitter and Facebook accounts, your Twitter updates may be automatically posted to your Facebook Timeline.
While this can save you time, it might flood your friends’ newsfeeds with frequent updates that may not be suitable for Facebook.
To prevent Facebook from publishing your Twitter content, you can unlink the two accounts using Facebook’s privacy settings. Here’s how:
Step 1: Access Privacy Settings
Start by clicking the downwards-facing arrow beside “Home” in the upper-left corner of your Facebook page. This will open a drop-down menu.
Step 2: Go to Privacy Settings
From the drop-down menu, click on “Privacy Settings.”
Step 4: Navigate to App Settings
On the Privacy Settings page, find and click “Edit Settings” next to “Apps and Websites.”
Step 5: Access Twitter Settings
In the “Apps you use” section, locate “Twitter” and click “Edit” next to it. This will take you to the “App Settings” page for Twitter.
Step 6: Remove the Link
On the “App Settings” page for Twitter, click “Remove app.” This action will unlink your Facebook and Twitter accounts, stopping Twitter from posting to your Facebook Timeline.

Help! Our tweets keep going to a twitter feed on the fan page. How do we get to post it directly onto the timeline?
Do you mean that your tweets keep going to a fan page instead of your business page? If that is the case you will likely need to change your settings regarding where you want Twitter to post on Facebook (steps 7 and 8). If you need more detailed troubleshooting, please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] 🙂
