How this automation works

Automate your updates by sending both a web request and an email whenever you share a new link on Facebook. This Applet runs each time you create a new link post on Facebook and triggers both an HTTP request and an email message. It's perfect for cross-posting updates or archiving shared links to other systems. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).

These requests include access to your personal posts, location, photos and friends. IFTTT does not store, share or make use of this data for any purpose other than to run the Applets that you personally create or enable.
