Track a Facebook group
Keep the groups you prospect in, note the posts worth coming back to, and see which groups actually produced people.
People who prospect on Facebook live in a handful of groups and keep them in browser bookmarks three folders deep, in the same window they are trying to work in. Facebook Groups is that list, in the tool you already have open — and then a little more.
Add a group
- Open Facebook Groups and add one.
- Paste the group address. It must be a
facebook.com/groups/…link — a profile URL or another site is refused. - Give it a name, or leave it blank and the address is used.
- Members is typed in by hand. Paste what the group's own page says —
13.2K members,1,197and8.4kare all understood.
Fetching it would mean the extension making its own request to Facebook, which is automated collection however small the request. The number is worth having; it is not worth risking your account for.
An empty member count reads as —, never 0. "Nobody has told us" and "the group is empty" are different facts, and only one of them is ever true here.
Saving a group you already have is not an error and does not make a second row — the row you already had flashes and says Already saved.
The group's own screen
Click the group's name and you get its screen, with Facebook one button away rather than being the only place the name leads.
Two tabs, because there are two questions:
Contacts — who came out of this group. Stage and tags do show here, unlike the Contacts page. There you are looking somebody up and the columns get in the way; here the question is "did this group produce anything worth working", which is a question about stages.
Posts — a link, a note, whether it is your post or somebody else's, and who came out of it. Yours to check whether anything came of it; theirs to answer tomorrow.
The note field is for why you want to come back to it — the question asked, the offer you made, who to look at.
Removing a group
Removing a group takes its posts with it, because a post belongs to the group it was in and means nothing without it.
It never takes its people. A contact who came from a group you have stopped tracking is still a contact — the origin is cleared and the record is left alone.
What this is not
There is no group discovery and there will not be. Reading which groups you are in means enumerating something Facebook has not put on screen, which is the line this tool does not cross — and the line that keeps it on the right side of Meta's terms.
Every group here is one you pasted in.
