Group Posting
Where each workflow fits
Choose the workflow that fits the work you do. Buffer is useful for a broader social calendar; Group Posting focuses on managing Facebook group posts from your own browser.
Use Buffer when a cross-channel calendar and mobile reminders fit your process. Try Group Posting when Facebook groups are the main task and you want to review one run across your selected groups.

Questions before you choose
Does Buffer automatically finish a Facebook group post?
Its official group guide describes notification publishing: you prepare the post and complete publication manually from a mobile reminder. This is different from its Facebook Page publishing workflow.
Can any tool guarantee that a Facebook group post will be published?
No. Facebook can limit an account or reject a submission, and group administrators can require approval. Group Posting uses your logged-in desktop browser; keep the browser open, choose relevant groups and review each result. An approval hold is not a confirmed public post.
