Is there some magic to connecting Twitter to a Facebook page I administer, but isn't "mine?"

I have a client who's political FB page I now administer. I created a Twitter account for him and want to link the feeds.

Everything I try wants to connect MY Twitter account to the page. That, or it won't work at all. For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm sure it has to be something very simple.

I even tried the Hootsuite app, with no luck.

Thanks for any help!

PS - I have a separate Twitter account for my business and I wanted to link it to my business FB page and the same thing happens.

I'm stumped.

Hi Robin I wanted to give this a bump to see if any of our social media experts can chime in but wanted to say that in my experience you aren't able to add a Twitter feed to a business page, only to a personal page. When I tried to add the Twitter feed for VAF to the VAF FB page it added it to my personal page. No matter which way I went about it - that seems to be the way it works.

Hopefully you'll get someone on here who knows what's what though because I am by no means an expert on the topic...

Hi Robin,
Trying clearing your cache and your cookies. Also make sure you aren't logged into your Twitter account and I'm assuming that you have his Twitter account password. If you can't do it using http://facebook.com/twitter after that then it's some sort of bug- which you can report to Facebook.

Same goes for Hootsuite....log out of everything and clear all of your cache and cookies and then log directly into Hootsuite and link the accounts. That helped do it for me.

Robin,

Have you tried this...

https://twitter.com/widgets/facebook
Twitter’s official page on how to add Twitter to Facebook. The Twitter app for Facebook integrates Twitter into your Facebook experience.

http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/
The Facebook application Selective Tweets. Selective Tweet Status lets you update your Facebook status from Twitter – BUT you can choose which tweets you want – just end a tweet with #fb when you want to post it as your Facebook status – simple!

http://www.facebook.com/twitter/
Link Your Facebook Pages to Twitter.

Here's another tool you can use...

Well, Twitter seems to think the pages and accounts are linked correctly. Facebook does not agree.

It should not be this difficult. What am I missing?

I set this up for a client of mine using Ping.fm. It was the way I finally discovered after trying everything you've been doing. Simply set up a Ping.fm account for your client and then you should be able to set it up to send the tweets to your clients facebook page.

It was awhile ago that I did it, but it didn't take much to get it set up.

Hopefully, it works for you.

Thanks Renee. I have a Ping account. After some researching, it looks like I will have to set a tweetlater account for him.

Tweetlater will interface with Ping so we can set scheduled updates for weekends and holidays. Looks like Hootsuite won't do that.

But, even that may not work. I'm not trying to connect to his personal FB profile. I'm trying to connect to his FB business page. Nothing else has worked so far.

Hootsuite does allow you to schedule updates for Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and for LinkedIn. It's worked fine for me.

With Hootsuite though, I know I had to clear my cookies and cache to one time to get it to intially connect the Facebook pages but after that it worked fine.
