How to get automatic updates on your Facebook Page

There’s no doubt that managing a Facebook Page has become much easier with tools like Hootsuite and Seesmic.
But the one thing nonprofit Page admins still need is an easy way to find out when someone posts, comments or likes content on their wall.
Last week, Mari Smith pointed out a free online tool from Norway called Hyper Alerts.
Hyper Alerts automatically sends you an email when content is posted on a specified Facebook Page.

Add a Facebook Page to your alert list

What you’ll like about Hyper Alerts is that you can get updates on any Facebook Page. This is particularly useful when you want to “listen in” to how other orgs engage fans during particular events.
For example, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, various orgs can be more aware of the various conversations on each others Facebook Pages.

Choose what kind of Facebook Page updates you want

Regardless of whether you admin the Page or not, you can choose to receive updates on posts and comments from fans, or content from the Page. Posts on the Page also include when that Page is tagged.

Choose how often you want updates

You can also choose how often you want to receive Facebook Page updates. The options are:
As soon as possible
Daily at a specific time
Hourly
Weekly
Monthly

Facebook Page updates are sent to your email
