Outbound: keep stakeholders informed
Every Buffer post you create can trigger a Facebook action the moment you approve it from your phone. You review before anything publishes, so the workflow moves fast without moving without you.
Going the other way? Facebook to Buffer
The Buffer to Facebook integration on Rills is built for solopreneurs and small teams who manage social content across platforms but do not want to babysit every publish step. When you create a post in Buffer, Rills can automatically queue up the matching Facebook action, whether that is publishing a text post, uploading an image, or verifying the target page is correct.
Rills proposes each action and then waits. You get a notification on your phone, swipe to approve, and the action runs. You never have to worry about a draft going live before you are ready. The system learns from your approvals over time, and all the logic and approval steps are free. You only pay when a real action executes.
With a buffer facebook integration on Rills, you can go from a single Buffer post creation to a published Facebook post without opening a second tab. The buffer to facebook automation also handles image uploads automatically, so photo posts land on Facebook with the right asset attached. Use the channel-sync flow to pull Facebook Page details and confirm you are always posting to the correct page.
When you create a new post in Buffer, the workflow proposes a matching Facebook post for your approval. Once you swipe to approve, the post publishes to your Facebook Page without any manual re-entry.

Yes. When you create an image-based post in Buffer, Rills can trigger a Facebook photo upload using the associated image. The workflow proposes the upload, you approve it from your phone, and the photo appears on your Facebook Page.
By default, every action waits for your approval before it runs. As Rills learns your preferences over time, it can increase confidence on routine actions. You stay in control and can adjust when automation runs more independently as trust builds.
Rejecting an approval cancels that specific action. The workflow does not retry it automatically, so nothing publishes without your explicit sign-off. Your feedback also helps Rills understand your preferences for future proposed actions.
The curated pairings support three actions: creating a post on your Facebook Page, uploading a photo tied to an image post, and retrieving Facebook Page details to verify your page configuration. These cover the most common Buffer-to-Facebook publishing workflows.
