Monitors one or more Facebook groups and sends you an email when a new post appears. Useful if you're in groups where Facebook's own notifications are unreliable (free stuff groups, local buy/sell, etc.).
How it works
Each run visits the group pages, grabs the latest post, and compares it against the last seen post stored in Apify's Key-Value Store. If it's new, it sends an email via apify/send-mail and saves the post to the dataset. If nothing changed, it exits quietly.
Meant to be run on a schedule. Only works with public groups.
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
groupUrls | string[] | ✅ | Facebook group URLs to monitor |
recipientEmail | string | ✅ | Where to send notifications (must be your Apify account email) |
ignoreKeywords | string[] | Skip posts containing these words, e.g. ["reserved", "taken", "gone"] | |
useResidentialProxy | boolean | Use residential proxies (default: true, recommended for Facebook) |
Setup
- Deploy to Apify and approve
apify/send-mailpermissions when prompted - Set
recipientEmailto your Apify account email - Create a schedule to run it periodically
Notes
- Deduplication is based on post text content, not the URL (Facebook's post URLs include tracking parameters that change on every load)
- The first run will always send an email for whatever the current latest post is
