How this automation works
Upload a Placid-generated image to Facebook Pages when you press the Button widget. When you press the Button widget the applet asks Placid to render the template you configure (optionally override layers at install) and then uploads the returned image URL to Facebook Pages. Great for sharing quick event photos, announcements, or location snapshots to your Facebook Pages. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
