Facebook no longer allows import of your RSS feed directly to your Notes; however, there are still several applications that assist with Facebook-RSS integration. We recommend Twitterfeed which can be used to integrate RSS with other social media platforms as well.
Create your account
Name feed and add source URL
1. Name your feed.
2. Enter the RSS feed URL. Here's a lesson on how to retrieve those feeds: http://support.prontomarketing.com/entries/324506-how-can-i-access-...
3. Test the RSS feed. If everything works okay, you'll see the green "Feed parsed OK" message.
4. Continue to Step 2
Connect to Facebook
Click the blue button
Enter your Facebook account information
Confirm that the correct account is connected
Connect to one of your Facebook Pages
This is where you can connect to a company page if you have one. All pages that you are an administrator of will show up here.
Create service
View your dashboard
Click on the dashboard link to view your existing feed(s) and see what services they're publishing to.
Click the feed title to edit the feed, or Create New Feed to add a new one.

I cannot get the feed to work, error msg:
We couldn't find a feed using the URL you provided.
Matthew - There are several different URLs for your feed that Facebook may be looking for. Here's an article to access your blog's different RSS feeds: http://support.prontomarketing.com/entries/324506-how-can-i-access-...
All of the following URLs will return your RSS feed:
/feed/
/blog/feed/
/feed/rss/
/blog/feed/rss/
If this doesn't work you may want to try Twitterfeed. This free service makes it easy to connect your blog to Facebook and Twitter. Here's an article for how to do that: http://support.prontomarketing.com/entries/324520-how-do-i-connect-...
Let me know if you have any additional issues or questions about this.

Not only can I not get the blog to go to facebook I can't figure out how to attach the URL help. Shannon
Guys, keep in mind that Facebook changes their menu structure frequently. Here is how I added my blog feed to Facebook: clicked on Edit Page, Apps, Goto App (under Notes), Edit Import Settings, entered my URL http://www.alcalaconsulting.com/feed/, and clicked on Start Importing. Works like a charm.

Has facebook changed the Notes app functionality since this was published? I don't see the options to edit import settings on our page...
Hi all,
Sorry that this post is out of date. We'll get it updated as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can find another option for setting up your RSS feed in Facebook here: http://support.prontomarketing.com/entries/324520-how-do-i-connect-my-blog-s-rss-feed-to-my-facebook-and-twitter-account
Hey everyone,
These instructions have been updated. Facebook no longer allows import of your RSS feed directly to your Notes; however, there are still several applications that assist with Facebook-RSS integration. We recommend Twitterfeed which can be used to integrate RSS with other social media platforms as well.
Lastly, I'd like to mention that we offer a social media program in which will design custom Facebook and Twitter pages and post updates on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Google+ will be added to this service in the near future. You can read more about it here: 1+1=3 Social Media.
Let me know if you have any questions!
