Generate the original Facebook link preview automatically
When a supported destination is used in the publishing workflow, Upnext can use the original page metadata for the preview. Automatic mode keeps the page title, description and image together without requiring the publisher to rebuild the preview manually for every post.
Customize the preview title, description and image
Switch to Customize when the publication needs a different presentation. The composer exposes the preview image, title and description together so the publisher can review the final card before scheduling or publishing.
Review the Facebook post before it goes live
The live preview sits beside the composer. This makes it easier to inspect the post copy and the resulting link card in one place instead of treating Open Graph metadata as a separate technical task.
Use link previews with your branded domain
Preview presentation and link routing are separate controls. Publishers can connect a custom publishing domain, select a verified branded domain for the link, and still choose whether Facebook receives the automatic or customized preview.
Keep link detection and preview customization separate
Facebook link detection identifies the destination inside the publishing workflow. This page focuses on the next step: controlling the title, description and image Facebook displays. For destination and domain controls, use the Facebook Link Customizer.
Connect the preview to click and UTM tracking
Upnext keeps preview controls beside Facebook click tracking and automatic UTM tracking. That lets publishers work on presentation and measurement inside the same publishing operation.
Preview is part of publishing, not a separate design tool.
Detect the link, choose the domain, use the original preview or customize it, inspect the live Facebook card, then publish and measure the traffic.
