Fix Facebook API Automation Issue

Customer: AI | Published: 28.02.2026

I am running an automation workflow in n8n that posts content to a Facebook Page using the Facebook Graph API. Currently: • When I use a long Facebook post URL (example: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=XXXXXXXX ), the automation works perfectly and the post is shared successfully. • However, when I try to use a short Facebook share link (example: https://www.facebook.com/share/XXXX/ ), the automation fails or does not generate the proper preview. What I need: A reliable solution that allows both short and long Facebook URLs to be used in the same n8n workflow. The post must be published via Graph API using /PAGE_ID/feed. The shared post must display proper Facebook preview (image, title, metadata). The solution should work fully automated inside n8n. Clean and stable implementation, not a temporary workaround. Current Setup: • n8n workflow • Telegram trigger sending links • HTTP Request node using Facebook Graph API • Long URLs work • Short share URLs do not resolve properly Looking for someone experienced with: • Facebook Graph API • n8n automation • URL redirection handling • Facebook link preview scraping behavior If you have solved similar issues before, please mention it.
