Facebook Group Posting Pacing and Cooldowns Explained

What pacing means

Pacing is the delay between posting actions as a campaign moves through selected groups. Instead of opening everything at once, pacing gives the workflow a measured rhythm.

In GetBuildMint, campaigns include minimum and maximum delay settings so the posting flow can move through groups at a controlled pace from your Chrome browser.

What cooldowns mean

Run cooldown

A run cooldown prevents the same campaign from being started again too quickly. This is useful when someone clicks Run now after a scheduled run or adds several schedules close together.

Group cooldown

A group cooldown helps avoid posting to the same saved group again too soon. This keeps repeated campaigns from accidentally hitting the same group too frequently.

How to choose pacing and cooldown settings

• Start with enough spacing to monitor the campaign comfortably.
• Use longer cooldowns for groups with strict rules or low posting tolerance.
• Give launch campaigns room for review between schedule windows.
• Follow Meta’s current policies and each group’s rules before increasing frequency.

Where pacing fits in your checklist

Pacing should be reviewed after the content and group list are approved. It is not a substitute for relevance. It is the final operational layer that helps a relevant campaign run more cleanly.

FAQ

Do pacing controls guarantee a campaign is appropriate?

No. You still need to choose relevant groups, write useful context, and follow group rules.

Should I use the shortest delay possible?

Usually no. Choose spacing that supports review, avoids accidental repeats, and fits the campaign’s purpose.
