    After following this tutorial you'll be able to post Facebook status updates easily from anywhere, including automatically from Tasker.

    Apps used:

    STEP 1 - CREATING ACTION


    • Open Join
    • Make sure you have the IFTTT device on your device list by following the instructions here.
    • Navigate to Actions
    • Create a new Custom action
    • Set an appropriate icon (I used this one)
    • Set a title for the action like Facebook Status
    • Set the command to facebook_status
    • Set the prompt to What status?
    • Select the IFTTT device on your device list
    • Click Done


    STEP 2 - CREATE IFTTT APPLET


    • On IFTTT create a new applet
    • For the this part select the Webhooks service
    • Set the event to the same as you set the Join Action command above: facebook_status
    • In the that part select Facebook -> Create a status message
    • Set the Status message to {{Value1}} (you can use the Add Ingredient button to make it easier to insert it)
    • Click on Create Action
    • Click on Finish


    STEP 3 - TESTING


    • On your phone click the Facebook Status action
    • Click on Run
    • Insert a test facebook status and click Ok


    If you now check Facebook you'll see that a status update has been posted for you! :D

    STEP 4 - ENABLE VOICE


    • Edit the created Join action and enable Use Voice
    • Run the action again (check out how you can run it by holding the Join icon on your launcher)
    • Say something to post as the Facebook status update


    As you can see you can easily post status updates by voice as well!

    STEP 5 - POST STATUS FROM TASKER


    • Create a new Tasker task
    • Add the Join Actions Tasker action
    • Select the Facebook Status action
    • Set Value 1 to the status you want to set. This could be anything from Tasker, like variables, states, etc!
    • Run the Task to post the status update


    You can now automate your Facebook Status updates to your heart's desire! :cool:
