Security & account safety

Is Group Posting Pro safe?

It lowers the risk; no tool can remove it. Group Posting posts from your own Chrome with the Facebook session you're already logged into, and never asks for your Facebook password. It spaces posts out, checks each run for risky settings and stops automation for 12 hours if Facebook blocks the account. Facebook's limits, group rules and admin approval still apply.

The safety controls

Six safety controls, and what each one does

Most restrictions we see come from bot-like patterns: bursts, identical text and odd hours. Content, reports and group rules matter too.

Randomised pacing

Randomised delays between posts, never a fixed-interval burst. You set the tempo; in the default mode the engine keeps it and only raises a very fast setting to a minimum gap of 15 to 60 seconds, growing with your daily volume.

Protection score

A 0–100 score in the Safety Center reads any recent Facebook block, today's volume and your warm-up state, and warns you before you push a limit, so you can ease off instead of finding out the hard way.

Optional warm-up

Off by default. Switch it on for a new Facebook account: 5 group-posts a day on days 1–2, 10 on days 3–4, 20 on days 5–6, then no warm-up cap.

Night pause

With "Avoid night posting" on (the default in the composer), runs stop between 10 PM and 7 AM your time and pick up again in the morning.

12-hour stop after a block

If Facebook rate-limits or restricts the account, scheduled posts and campaigns stop for 12 hours. You can still post by hand, or resume early if you choose, but Facebook's block runs on its own clock.

Pre-flight risk check

Before a run starts, it weighs your delay against the number of groups, identical post text or first comments, and how many wording variations you have, then says "Looks safe to send", "Caution Advised" or "High risk to your account".

Why local-first is safer

The architecture is the safety feature

Direct API and Classic DOM posting both run on your device. Posting through an API does not require handing your Facebook login to a remote server.

Meta retired the public Facebook Groups API and its publish_to_groups permission on 22 April 2024. Group Posting uses two different browser-based methods: Direct API posting through authenticated internal Facebook web GraphQL requests, and Classic DOM posting through the visible composer. Both use your existing Facebook session and remain subject to group permissions. What the Groups API deprecation broke →

Tools using a remote login

Posting runs outside your local Facebook tab
Data handling depends on the provider
Group Posting (local-first)
Runs inside your own Chrome, on your computer
Uses your existing session — no password to hand over
Direct API and Classic DOM — both in your own browser
Randomised pacing and the six controls above
Posting stays in your browser; AI and backup use our service

No tool can promise zero risk on a platform it doesn't control, and anyone who promises you can't be restricted is overselling. What we can do is keep your pacing sensible, warn you before a risky run and keep you in control. Read exactly what we do and don't touch in our Privacy Policy.

Security FAQ

Will posting to lots of Facebook groups get my account banned?
It can't rule that out — no tool can promise zero risk on a platform it doesn't control. It lowers the risk: randomised gaps between posts, a minimum gap that grows with your daily volume, an optional warm-up for new accounts, a 10 PM–7 AM night pause, a risk check before you start a run by hand, and a 12-hour stop if Facebook blocks the account. Facebook's limits, group rules and admin approval still apply.
Is automating Facebook group posting allowed?
Group Posting helps you post to groups you belong to, at a human-like pace, with content you control. You're responsible for following each group's rules and Facebook's terms. The safety layer exists to keep your activity natural and within healthy limits — it's a tool for legitimate marketing, not spam.
Does Group Posting ever see my Facebook password?
You do not give Group Posting your Facebook password. The extension uses your existing logged-in session; Direct API posting uses session cookies and request tokens locally to authenticate requests to Facebook. These credentials are not sent to Group Posting’s servers.
Where does my data go — is anything uploaded?
Posting sends your content to Facebook from your own browser. AI features send the text and context needed for generation to our service. Pro includes a daily cloud backup — part of the plan, not an extra — which sends a copy of your group list, templates, campaigns, schedules and recent results to the service so you can restore them; on the free and Plus plans nothing is uploaded. Licensing, diagnostics and checkout also involve service requests. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Can an agency manage my posting for me, and what would they see?
Only if you connect it yourself, inside the extension. A marketing agency can run Group Posting for you: they schedule, and your own browser publishes with your own Facebook login — they never hold a password. Before anything is shared the extension shows you a sheet listing exactly what that agency would see: your group list and collections, the names and Facebook id numbers of your profile and Pages and the picture each one shows on Facebook, the results of the posts they schedule, and general extension health. Nothing about your groups, your profile, your Pages or your posting is shared until you tick the box and press Connect — the only thing that goes out before that is the code itself and a random installation id, to our own server, so the sheet can name the agency that is asking. They never get your password, session, messages, the posts and schedules you made yourself, or your Lead Radar inbox. An agency can also set Lead Radar up for you: which of your groups it watches, the words it looks for, the words that rule a post out, how often it scans, whether it is running, whether it replies to matching posts under your account automatically, and how those replies are written: how helpful they sound, how much they sell, how direct they are, and a short note of up to 400 characters the agency adds about your business. While the agency manages Lead Radar, its groups, keywords, scan interval, daily reply limit and reply preferences are locked. You can switch automatic replies off or pause them in Lead Radar. Once Group Posting confirms your OFF choice, it blocks new managed automatic replies for that Facebook profile or Page across compatible browsers connected to the same agency client. A new agency setup cannot clear it. Only the original browser profile can clear its own OFF choice, with an active connection and an online confirmation. Other browsers' OFF choices remain effective. Clearing a choice does not arm a setup, start replies or remove other holds. Ask the agency to change locked settings, or disconnect to restore your saved settings. This control applies to agency-managed automatic replies, not personal Lead Radar or manually drafted replies. An OFF choice saved in this browser takes effect locally; other browsers are not yet protected by that new choice until the service acknowledges it. If this browser's connection credential has expired or been replaced, reconnect in this original browser profile to send its saved choice. An error does not discard the pending choice. Compatible browsers require a fresh shared-state check before preparing and immediately before dispatching a managed automatic reply, and wait if that check is unavailable. A reply already admitted and sent toward Facebook may still finish. The agency can see whether a shared OFF hold exists for the selected profile or Page, but not which browser set it or an offline choice that has not reached the service. A confirmed OFF choice survives disconnect, reconnect, a new agency setup and Also delete. The service retains its minimal authority and replay-prevention records until 90 days after the last active connection to that agency client ends; a later archive or edit does not restart that clock. Clearing requires the original browser profile's local proof, which exports and cloud backups do not contain. If that proof is lost, another browser, the agency and support cannot clear the choice. What Lead Radar finds is never sent to us for that agency. You can pause their posting or disconnect at any time in Settings, and both work with no internet connection. Full detail is in section 5 of our Privacy Policy.
Can an agency see my Lead Radar leads?
No. An agency can set Lead Radar up for you — which of your groups it watches, the words it looks for, the words that rule a post out, how often it scans, whether it is running, whether it replies to matching posts under your own account automatically, up to a daily limit of at most ten, and how those replies are written: how helpful they sound, how much they sell, how direct they are, and a short note of up to 400 characters the agency adds about your business. What it finds is a different thing: every matching post, every person behind one, your notes and even how many there were are never sent to us for that agency. There is no screen in the agency dashboard that shows them and no table in our database they could be written to; they stay on your own computer, apart from your own Pro cloud backup if you have one, which section 4 of the Privacy Policy describes. An agency cannot add a Lead Radar webhook, cannot change your notification settings, and cannot read your reply history. Their setup replaces your own Lead Radar settings on that browser while they manage it; yours are saved first and come back when you disconnect. While the agency manages Lead Radar, its groups, keywords, scan interval, daily reply limit and reply preferences are locked. You can switch automatic replies off or pause them in Lead Radar. Once Group Posting confirms your OFF choice, it blocks new managed automatic replies for that Facebook profile or Page across compatible browsers connected to the same agency client. A new agency setup cannot clear it. Only the original browser profile can clear its own OFF choice, with an active connection and an online confirmation. Other browsers' OFF choices remain effective. Clearing a choice does not arm a setup, start replies or remove other holds. Ask the agency to change locked settings, or disconnect to restore your saved settings. This control applies to agency-managed automatic replies, not personal Lead Radar or manually drafted replies. An OFF choice saved in this browser takes effect locally; other browsers are not yet protected by that new choice until the service acknowledges it. If this browser's connection credential has expired or been replaced, reconnect in this original browser profile to send its saved choice. An error does not discard the pending choice. Compatible browsers require a fresh shared-state check before preparing and immediately before dispatching a managed automatic reply, and wait if that check is unavailable. A reply already admitted and sent toward Facebook may still finish. The agency can see whether a shared OFF hold exists for the selected profile or Page, but not which browser set it or an offline choice that has not reached the service. A confirmed OFF choice survives disconnect, reconnect, a new agency setup and Also delete. The service retains its minimal authority and replay-prevention records until 90 days after the last active connection to that agency client ends; a later archive or edit does not restart that clock. Clearing requires the original browser profile's local proof, which exports and cloud backups do not contain. If that proof is lost, another browser, the agency and support cannot clear the choice. The automatic replies also only run while your own AI Studio profile is switched on with your offer described, and only in a group you have marked Allowed for service or promotional replies under Group permissions in Lead Radar's Automation tab, neither of which an agency can do for you. Drafting each reply sends the text of the post, the name of the group it was found in, your own note about that group's rules and whether it allows promotion and links, and your own AI Studio profile and writing voice to our AI provider; the name of the person who wrote the post is not sent. The proof, retention and recovery details are in section 5 of our Privacy Policy.
Is it safe to leave it running all day?
It's designed for it: the engine spaces posts out with randomised gaps, raises the minimum gap as your daily volume grows, pauses between 10 PM and 7 AM when "Avoid night posting" is on, and stops scheduled posts and campaigns for 12 hours if Facebook blocks the account. Even so, no tool can promise zero risk on a platform it doesn't control. Runs need your computer awake and Chrome open.
Does Direct API posting run on a cloud server?
No. Direct API posting sends authenticated internal Facebook web GraphQL requests from your own logged-in browser. Classic DOM posting automates the visible composer in the same browser. Neither method uses Group Posting’s servers to log into Facebook, and neither relies on the retired public Facebook Groups API. API posting does not itself mean cloud posting.
