Cross post LinkedIn Facebook with Flow: Step‑by‑step guide
Learn how to cross post LinkedIn Facebook using Flow's AI scheduling, bulk posting, and content calendar for seamless social media management.
Flow lets you cross post LinkedIn Facebook with a single click, automatically publishing the same content to both platforms while preserving each network’s formatting.
What is cross‑posting LinkedIn Facebook and why use Flow?
Cross‑posting means publishing one piece of content to multiple social accounts at the same time, saving time and ensuring consistent messaging. With Flow, you can schedule a post once and have it appear on both your LinkedIn profile and Facebook Page, leveraging AI‑generated captions and images to boost engagement. The platform’s content calendar shows the queued posts, so you always know when each cross‑post will go live.
How does Flow schedule and publish to LinkedIn and Facebook?
Flow’s publishing workflow is built around the Schedule screen, where you select the networks, set a date, and add media. Follow these steps:
- Open the New Post modal from the dashboard.
- Choose "LinkedIn Profile" and "Facebook Page" checkboxes.
- Write your base copy or click AI Caption (uses 1 credit) for a suggested text.
- Upload a JPEG image (required for Instagram, optional for LinkedIn/Facebook) or generate one with AI Image (3 credits).
- Set the publish time in the Schedule tab and hit Queue.
Once queued, the post appears in the calendar view, and Flow will automatically send it to both platforms at the chosen time.
Can I bulk post and use the content calendar for cross‑posting?
Yes. Flow’s bulk posting tool lets you upload a CSV containing columns for "Message", "Image URL", and "Platforms". Mark "LinkedIn" and "Facebook" for each row, and Flow creates individual scheduled items. The content calendar then visualizes all cross‑posts in a weekly grid, making it easy to spot gaps or overlaps.
- Prepare a CSV with at most 50 rows per upload.
- Select Bulk Upload from the Posts menu.
- Map CSV columns to Flow fields and confirm.
- All entries appear instantly in the calendar for further tweaking.
What limits and requirements should I know?
Flow respects each platform’s rules. For LinkedIn, only profile publishing is supported—LinkedIn Pages are not included. Facebook posts can include links, images, and videos. Instagram cross‑posting is possible only if a Facebook Page is connected, and images must be JPEG. X (formerly Twitter) accepts text‑only posts, so any image you add will be ignored for that channel.
- LinkedIn: profile only, no character limit beyond platform’s 3,000‑character cap.
- Facebook: supports links, images, videos up to 4 GB.
- Instagram: requires a connected Facebook Page; JPEG only.
- X: text‑only; any attached media is stripped.
How do pricing plans affect cross‑posting capabilities?
All Flow plans include the core cross‑posting feature. The Free plan lets you publish to Facebook and Instagram only, so you’ll need at least the Starter tier ($19/mo) to unlock LinkedIn profile publishing. The Growth ($49/mo) and Agency ($99/mo) plans increase AI credit pools and add team seats, which is useful for agencies managing multiple client accounts.

AI caption or image generation will be disabled until the next billing cycle, but you can still schedule and publish manually.

Flow’s Preview tab shows side‑by‑side snapshots for LinkedIn and Facebook, letting you adjust formatting before queuing.
