I see that choosing pages/groups is now part of categories. This is great!

But it's also part of the general facebook autoposting as well.

Which takes priority? If I want a category to go to a specific page and that page only, will the general autoposting config ALSO post elsewhere? Or does category override it? If so, how do I know?

Can you clarify exactly how this works now?
My configuration needs, to be clear:

Category 1 --> page A, group B, group C (set in the category)
Category 2 --> page A, page B, group D (set in the category)
EVERYTHING ELSE: Page B, group C (set in autoposting/facebook)

What's the expectation here? What if a post is in Category 1? What if a post is in Category 1 *and* Category 2? What if a post is in Category 3 (which has no category-specific configuration)?

Hello Christopher,

Can you clarify exactly how this works now?
Category 1 --> page A, group B, group C (set in the category)
Category 2 --> page A, page B, group D (set in the category)
EVERYTHING ELSE: Page B, group C (set in autoposting/facebook)

Based on the above configuration, if the post is in Category 1, it will autopost to Page A, Group B and Group C. It will ignore whatever are set in general autoposting/facebook setting.

Let say you have Category 3 which doesn't has any autoposting setup for this category, the post will use the general Autoposting setting (Page B, group C).

In other words, category autoposting will have higher priority over the general autoposting setting.

Hope this helps.
