Facebook Post Composer

The Facebook Posts section is a post composer for your venue's Page. You prepare a post (text + photo), save a draft or publish it straight to your Facebook Page — without switching to Facebook itself.

Open: Admin Panel → Facebook Posts (admin.cenaly.ru).

⚠️ The section is currently unavailable. Connecting to Facebook, publishing, statistics and boosting all call a server-side part that used to run on the admin panel's previous hosting platform; since that platform was retired the calls no longer arrive and the section shows an error. The integration is being moved to a new backend — until then, publish posts in Facebook itself. Everything below describes how the feature works and what it will return to after the move.

Connecting#

Click "Connect Facebook" and authorize, then pick the Page you'll post to (if you have several). You can change the Page any time.

Creating a post#

Ready-made templates#

Start from a template for the occasion:

Announcement / new item — introduce a new dish;
Promo — a discount or special offer;
Event — an evening, concert or holiday;
Story / article — a story about your venue;
Custom — from a blank slate.

Editor#

Post text — what your followers will see.
Image — pick a photo from your menu or provide your own image URL.
Link — e.g. to your menu or a reservation page.
Preview — how the post will look coming from your Page.

AI help#

The AI can generate the post text — for example, around a specific dish or from your short brief.

Drafts, publishing and scheduling#

Save draft — set it aside and come back later.
Publish — the post goes to your Facebook Page.
Schedule — set a date and time for the post to publish automatically.

The "My Posts" list shows what's a draft and what's already published; a post can be edited, deleted or opened in Facebook.

Boosting a post into an ad#

Any post can be "Promoted" — turned into a Meta ad. You set the ad account, daily budget, duration and target countries. The ad is created paused so you can review it before launch.

WhatsApp Ads — Click-to-WhatsApp via Meta
Dish Flyer Designer — ready-made images for posts
Facebook and Meta — ad accounts and analytics

FAQ#

Do I need to set anything up in Facebook?#

Only connect the account and pick a Page — everything else happens in the admin panel.

Where do the images come from?#

From your menu photos ("photo from menu") or from your own image URL.

Does the post publish immediately?#

Your choice: save a draft, publish now, or schedule it for a future time.
