# Promote your Community Hour on Facebook

Lithi drafts your Facebook posts for a Community Hour; you choose the groups and versions, click **Post** yourself and confirm each one. Open **Marketing > Community Hours**, create your event or open one you have already prepared, and follow the six steps below.

| Lithi does | You do |
| --- | --- |
| Creates the Eventbrite listing and adds your event's **Details & RSVP** link to every draft | Approve the event details and confirm the venue |
| Suggests local Facebook groups from their public descriptions and rules | Read each group, choose, and join |
| Drafts five versions of each post, with a matching poster, and keeps your calendar | Pick a version and plan when to post |
| Opens the group in Safari and fills Facebook's composer | Review it, click Facebook's **Post**, and confirm |

*The screenshots on this page come from the Lithi app demo, with sample groups and event details. Select any screenshot to open it full size.*

## 1. Approve your event {#approve-your-event}

Set the title, date, time zone, place and capacity. For an in-person event, choose the venue and record its permission. Once you approve the details and the venue is **confirmed** or **not required**, Lithi creates and publishes the Eventbrite listing. Every post Lithi drafts already ends with your event's **Details & RSVP** link, so there is nothing to paste.

## 2. Choose and join local groups {#choose-and-join-groups}

Open the event's **Facebook** workspace. Lithi suggests local groups. Read each group's details and choose the ones where your event would be welcome.

1. Choose **Join group**. Facebook opens in Safari with the Lithi companion beside it.
2. Answer Facebook's membership questions yourself.
3. Back in Lithi, choose **I joined** or **I requested to join**.

For a group you don't want, choose **Skip for now** or **Not a fit**. If your request is pending, wait for Facebook to accept it before posting.

## 3. Choose a version of each post {#choose-a-version}

Each group post comes in **five versions**, with wording fitted to the group. Image posts include the matching poster. Use the **Previous** and **Next** arrows to compare them, and check the title, date, place and image before you choose.

Here is the shape of a typical caption. Lithi fills in the link line for you:

> Beacon Hill neighbors — come along for coffee and a Lithi demo.
>
> - See how the Macs we already own can help run AI.
> - Find out how your Mac could earn overnight, on a schedule you choose.
> - Sat Sep 26 at 10:00 AM · Beacon Hill Community Room
> - Free entry · 8 places
>
> Details & RSVP: https://lithi.ai/join/dana-482913

Open **Poster & QR** to review the poster. The sample poster, **Compute, over coffee.**, invites people for coffee, conversation and a Lithi demo. Its QR code, labelled **Scan to reserve or learn more**, takes people to your event's page. Use **Print poster** or **Save as PDF** to share it. "Could earn overnight" depends on available work and accepted results. "Free entry" means admission, so confirm coffee with the venue.

## 4. Plan when to post {#plan-when-to-post}

The **Facebook Calendar** holds your chosen groups, versions and planned times. **List** and **Board** show the same items. Plan each post around that group's posting rules.

[![Fictional sample Facebook Calendar showing five planned Community Hour posts from Wednesday, September 23 through Friday, September 25 before the event](/images/connect/docs/facebook-calendar.webp?v=f5d1070e4afd640d48ae5e76cc6fcc0013cf0393164c6ac8d2d5ce97bba0e3f8)](/images/connect/docs/facebook-calendar.webp?v=f5d1070e4afd640d48ae5e76cc6fcc0013cf0393164c6ac8d2d5ce97bba0e3f8)

*Five planned posts leading up to the event.*

## 5. Post in Facebook {#post-in-facebook}

When a calendar item is ready, choose **Start posting**. Lithi opens the group in Safari and places the post and poster in Facebook's composer.

1. Review the text, date, place and image, and make any final edits.
2. Click Facebook's **Post** yourself.
3. In the companion, choose **I posted · Confirm**. Choose **Skip this group** to leave it for later.

If Lithi can't fill the composer, choose **Copy caption**, click Facebook's post box and press ⌘V, then choose **Copy image** and paste the poster.

## 6. After you post {#after-you-post}

If Facebook holds a post for moderation, leave it pending until Facebook shows the result. If your event details change, review the drafts and calendar again before posting more. The same Community Hour is where you host, take attendance and follow up.
