Group Posting vs Hootsuite for Facebook Group Work

Hootsuite’s guide lists Facebook Pages, not groups.

Hootsuite’s connection guide, updated 26 October 2026, lists Facebook Pages and does not list Facebook groups. It also says publishing to personal profiles isn’t supported. Plans start at $99 a month per user, billed yearly.

Group Posting does one job: posting to the Facebook groups you pick, from your own browser. Keep Hootsuite for a wide social calendar if it serves you.

Group Posting runs in Chrome on a computer. Email yourself the install link:

Where each workflow fits

Facebook Page publishing and Facebook group work have different requirements. Start by checking which account type you need to publish to, then choose your calendar and client workflow.

Use Hootsuite when your priority is a broad social management workspace. Evaluate Group Posting for the separate task of posting to relevant Facebook groups from an active desktop session.

Questions before you choose

Can I connect a Facebook group to Hootsuite like a Page?

Hootsuite’s connection guide, updated 26 October 2026, lists Facebook Pages and does not list Facebook groups. Confirm it with Hootsuite before purchasing.

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.
