Publish Facebook ads by converting dark (unpublished) posts
Sendible now supports Facebook dark posts. This means that you can send an unpublished Facebook post to one of your Pages and later convert it into ads.
Important: Only Facebook Pages that are being managed through Meta Business Manager support this feature. For more information, please see: https://business.facebook.com
If a Facebook dark post (unpublished) is sent out, but Meta Business Manager is not set up on your Facebook account, the post will not be published. The post will only be available to post or convert into a Facebook Ad once you have set up Meta Business Manager on your Facebook account.
Follow the steps below to send a dark (unpublished) post to a Facebook Page
-
Click on the Compose button and select a Facebook Page profile. That will automatically make the 'Post to Facebook as' option available.
Note: If a Profile List is selected and it has at least one Facebook Page profile included in the list, or if multiple types of profiles are selected, i.e. X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook Page, this will also make the 'Post to Facebook as' option available.Caution: When posting a dark post to Facebook, only one image per post is supported. Facebook currently only support attaching one image to a dark post, as it's intended to be converted into an ad. -
Once the Unpublished post has been sent to Facebook, it can be found in Meta Business Manager (https://business.facebook.com/latest/settings/business_users/). From the three-line menu in the top-left corner, please select Page Posts.

You will find the Unpublished post under Ad Posts. When you select the Unpublished post, there are a few options presented: Publish, Schedule, Delete, and Create Ads under the Actions menu.
