How to Create a Facebook Story in GoHighLevel Social Planner

Managing social content across platforms can feel as complex as organizing tasks in ClickUp, but creating a Facebook Story with GoHighLevel is straightforward once you know the steps. This guide walks you through using the Social Planner so you can publish Facebook Stories efficiently and consistently.

What You Need Before Using GoHighLevel Social Planner

Before you create a Facebook Story inside GoHighLevel, make sure the basics are in place.

  • You have an active Facebook account with Story access.
  • You have a GoHighLevel account with Social Planner enabled.
  • Your Facebook Page or Profile is already connected to GoHighLevel.

If your Facebook account is not connected yet, first go to the Social Planner section in your account and follow the prompts to authorize Facebook. Only once this connection is complete will you see the correct options for Facebook Story scheduling.

Accessing the GoHighLevel Social Planner

The Social Planner is the central hub for publishing posts and Stories in GoHighLevel. Follow these steps to open it:

  1. Log into your GoHighLevel account.
  2. In the left-hand menu, locate and click Marketing.
  3. From the dropdown, select Social Planner.

Inside Social Planner you will see a calendar view and any previously scheduled content. This is where you will create and manage your Facebook Stories.

How to Start a New Facebook Story in GoHighLevel

Once you are in the Social Planner, you can begin creating your Facebook Story.

  1. Click the Create New Post or similar button at the top right of the Social Planner screen.
  2. A post creation panel will open, allowing you to choose where and how to publish.
  3. Select the connected Facebook account that should receive the Story.

Make sure you are choosing the right Facebook Page or Profile associated with your GoHighLevel account, especially if you manage multiple clients or brands.

Selecting the Facebook Story Option in GoHighLevel

In the post creation panel, GoHighLevel gives you several publishing destinations. To focus on Facebook Stories:

  1. Look for the publishing type options such as Feed, Story, or similar labels.
  2. Select the option that indicates Facebook Story or Story for Facebook.
  3. Confirm that the Story icon or label is clearly highlighted before moving on.

Choosing the Story format ensures that your media will appear in the Story area on Facebook, not as a standard feed post.

Adding Media to Your Facebook Story in GoHighLevel

Facebook Stories are primarily visual, so the media you choose is critical. Inside the GoHighLevel creation window:

  1. Click the Upload Media or Add Image/Video button.
  2. Select an image or short video from your computer that meets Facebook Story requirements (vertical orientation is recommended).
  3. Wait for the file to upload completely before moving forward.

Once uploaded, preview the Story layout to verify that important elements are not cropped. If needed, adjust your media and re-upload to ensure the best result.

Customizing Your Facebook Story Settings in GoHighLevel

Although Facebook Stories are shorter and more visual than feed posts, GoHighLevel still lets you refine key settings.

  • Profile Selection: Confirm the correct Facebook profile or page is selected.
  • Story Format: Double-check that the Story type remains selected after any changes.
  • Additional Text (if available): Add brief supporting text if the interface allows, keeping it concise and relevant.

These settings help GoHighLevel send the Story to the correct destination and format on Facebook.

Scheduling or Publishing the Story with GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel Social Planner lets you decide when to publish your Story for maximum impact.

The Story will appear on your Social Planner calendar, indicating the exact time GoHighLevel will publish it to Facebook.

  2. Review your media and Story settings one last time.
  3. Click Post or Publish to send the Story directly to Facebook.

Within a short time, you should see the Story live on your connected Facebook account.

Reviewing Your Facebook Story in GoHighLevel

After scheduling or publishing, you can track your Story inside GoHighLevel.

  • Open the Social Planner calendar view.
  • Locate the entry for your Facebook Story on the relevant date and time.
  • Click the Story entry to see its status, such as scheduled, posted, or failed.

If an error appears, confirm that your Facebook connection is active and that your account permissions are still valid.

Tips for Better Facebook Stories with GoHighLevel

To get more value from every Facebook Story you publish through GoHighLevel, keep these best practices in mind:

  • Use vertical media: Design your images and videos in a 9:16 ratio for full-screen impact.
  • Keep it short: Stories are brief; focus on one clear message per Story.
  • Batch schedule: Create several Stories at once in the Social Planner and schedule them over multiple days.
