Fix Facebook API Automation Issue
Budget: ₹600 – ₹3,000 INR
I am running an automation workflow in n8n that posts content to a Facebook Page using the Facebook Graph API.
Currently:
• When I use a long Facebook post URL (example:
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=XXXXXXXX
),
the automation works perfectly and the post is shared successfully.
• However, when I try to use a short Facebook share link (example:
https://www.facebook.com/share/XXXX/
),
the automation fails or does not generate the proper preview.
What I need:
A reliable solution that allows both short and long Facebook URLs to be used in the same n8n workflow.
The post must be published via Graph API using /PAGE_ID/feed.
The shared post must display proper Facebook preview (image, title, metadata).
The solution should work fully automated inside n8n.
Clean and stable implementation, not a temporary workaround.
Current Setup:
• n8n workflow
• Telegram trigger sending links
• HTTP Request node using Facebook Graph API
• Long URLs work
• Short share URLs do not resolve properly
Looking for someone experienced with:
• Facebook Graph API
• n8n automation
• URL redirection handling
• Facebook link preview scraping behavior
If you have solved similar issues before, please mention it.
