Post to Facebook from nanoclaw
nanoclaw can post to your Page on Facebook through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed server with one config block, sign in, and then ask nanoclaw to post to your Page, pick the time, and apply Facebook's settings, without leaving a small self-hosted agent you message from WhatsApp or Telegram. Facebook is coming next on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: nanoclaw shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

What can nanoclaw do on Facebook?
On Facebook, nanoclaw can post text, images and video to a Facebook Page, with vertical video as a Reel. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text, Image and Video posts
Facebook takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Video: MP4 or MOV up to 1 GB; vertical video surfaces as a Reel on the Page. Image: JPG or PNG up to 25 MB.
63,206 characters, checked at booking
Facebook's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and nanoclaw books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Facebook post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. nanoclaw shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on Facebook. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text and image posts on Facebook are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. Video on Facebook is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, nanoclaw can read back views and engagement where Facebook provides them.
How does nanoclaw post to Facebook through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and nanoclaw makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Facebook channel
Ask nanoclaw whether Facebook is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Facebook accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. nanoclaw drafts within Facebook's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
Facebook settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Facebook. Mention any of them in plain language and nanoclaw sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Facebook release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on Facebook |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "facebook". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes for a text post | Facebook's limit is 63,206 characters. The first link becomes a preview card. |
hashtags | string[] | No | Appended to the text. |
media_kind | text | image | video | No | Detected from the file when omitted. |
clip_id or media_url | string | No | A ClipSpeed clip or a public link to an image or video. Vertical video surfaces as a Reel. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only. |

Facebook limits and gotchas to know
Facebook enforces a few rules that nanoclaw and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- Facebook Pages only. Meta retired the Groups publishing API, so no scheduler can post to a Group on your behalf; personal profiles are not available to apps either.
- Vertical 9:16 video posted to a Page surfaces as a Reel. Landscape video posts as a standard Page video.
- The character limit is enormous (63,206), but the feed truncates long posts behind 'see more' at a few lines. Lead with the point.
- Facebook is the next rail on ClipSpeed's scheduler. Until it posts, the status badge on this page says so and no booking to Facebook is accepted.
- Planned pacing: five text or image posts a day an hour apart, video four hours apart.
| Rule | |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image, Video |
| Text limit | 63,206 characters |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept; the first link becomes a preview card |
| Pacing | Planned: Text and image posts on Facebook are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. Video on Facebook is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Image: JPG or PNG up to 25 MB. Video: MP4 or MOV up to 1 GB; vertical video surfaces as a Reel on the Page. Aspect: any; 9:16 for Reels |
| Status | Coming next on ClipSpeed's rail; bookings are refused with a plain message until then |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
nanoclaw does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. nanoclaw picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on Facebook. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. nanoclaw shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on Facebook. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: nanoclaw can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
What is nanoclaw?
nanoclaw is a minimal open-source personal agent in the OpenClaw family: it runs on your own machine, takes instructions from WhatsApp or Telegram, and can call MCP servers. With ClipSpeed configured with an API key, a message to your agent can clip a video and schedule posts.

Facebook and nanoclaw: frequently asked questions
How do I post to Facebook from nanoclaw?
Generate a key in ClipSpeed under Account → API & Integrations. Add the clipspeed server with the URL and Authorization header to nanoclaw's MCP configuration. Connect Facebook in ClipSpeed (or ask nanoclaw for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. nanoclaw reads the Facebook rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Facebook is coming next; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can nanoclaw post to Facebook through ClipSpeed?
Post text, images and video to a Facebook Page, with vertical video as a Reel. Facebook takes text, image and video posts. Text is limited to 63,206 characters.
Which Facebook settings can nanoclaw control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, hashtags, media_kind, clip_id or media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and nanoclaw sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Facebook API key or developer account?
No. You connect Facebook to ClipSpeed once through Facebook's own sign-in, and nanoclaw talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Facebook developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Facebook posts a day can nanoclaw schedule?
Planned: Text and image posts on Facebook are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. Video on Facebook is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can nanoclaw post to Facebook from a script or a cron job?
Yes. nanoclaw's headless mode (routine) runs one prompt and exits, and the ClipSpeed server registered on that machine does the booking. On a runner with no browser, authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key header. Keep preview on so the run reports a plan before it books.
Is posting to Facebook from nanoclaw different from OpenClaw?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. nanoclaw: your machine; whatsapp or telegram. OpenClaw: your machine; many channels, more integrations.
