Facebook previously disconnected a service that allowed dealers to automatically upload inventory to Facebook Marketplace. This meant dealers where no longer be able to use a software system or service to bulk-upload their used inventory.
DealerCenter has created a Facebook Marketplace posting utility to reproduce the function of manually posting from a personal page. This will allow you to automatically post vehicles to Facebook Marketplace.
To access the posting tool run the Facebook Marketplace report. Go to Reports > Online Marketing > Facebook Marketplace (or use the "Search Reports" box).
On the Facebook Marketplace report select the orange “Launch Auto Posting Utility“ button. This will download the Posting Utility Application (Windows PC only). Next, look for the file in your download folder and run the application.
Once installed, you will need to log into the Utility Application. Enter your DealerCenter credentials. This will allow the posting utility to post on your behalf.
Click on the Settings link to enter your Facebook username and password into the app:
Once logged in, select which vehicles you want to post and select the green “Start Posting” button. The Posting utility will start posting to Facebook Marketplace.
The same options will be available for vehicles that need to be “Updated” and “Deleted”. There are separate tabs for the dealership to select specific vehicles that need to be updated or deleted.
Each time you'd like to post vehicles to Facebook Marketplace simply open the Posting Utility app on your Windows PC. Look for the program called "FB Marketplace Inventory Posting Tool"
To see your active posts (or newly posted, updated and/or to-be-deleted) simply return the Facebook Marketplace Report and use this status filter to show posted vehicles and then click run.
Go to Reports > Online Marketing > Facebook Marketplace (or use the "Search Reports" box).
There are some limitations and guidelines to the posting utility that are required to allow DealerCenter to automatically post ads to Facebook Marketplace on your behalf:
