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

Apps used:

• Join
• Tasker (for automation only. Not required)

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!

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!
