Yes, it is possible to share your post automatically over facebook or any other social media without the use of any Plugins. If you want to succeed then this should be your first social media strategy to promote your content on social media and improve your engagement. You can do this automatically using IFTTT. It is an online tool that automates your day to day activity and let the internet do your work automatically. All you need to do is just define your conditions and set back to see the magic.
What is IFTTT?
IFTTT (If this then that) is an online website that automates your online activity. Since one of our online activity involved ‘Social Media Sharing‘, it can be also used to share post automatically on social media networks. You can visit the official website of IFTTT here.
How IFTTT works?
It allows you to define applets. Each applet connects your two online accounts. It looks for a trigger on one account, and if the trigger is found, then it performs your predefined action on the opposite account. So, if it found the trigger on one online account then it performs the action on another online account.
