When does Facebook fire on new wall posts?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Facebook New Page Post trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Facebook webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about New Page Post.

How does the New Page Post trigger work in Facebook?

Fires when someone posts to the Page's wall or mentions the Page. Useful for moderation workflows or for community-engagement automation ("auto-thank-you for mentions of our brand").

Is the New Page Post trigger real-time?

Yes. New Page Post uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Facebook.

What data does New Page Post return?

The full event payload from Facebook. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter New Page Post so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Facebook admin permissions to use New Page Post?

For most Facebook accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Facebook plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Facebook's docs if the trigger fails to register.
