# Automating Facebook Live

Facebook Live lets businesses stream live video on Facebook to engage their community in real-time. Businesses can perform product demonstrations, answer questions, and clip live streams afterwards into Reels, Shorts, etc.    

But, a problem with Facebook Live is telling followers when the live stream starts. You can set up Facebook Live to automatically message and notify 1send subscribers when a live stream has begun. 

### Setting up automatic 1send integration with Facebook Live

In the Facebook App, click the status bar or **What's on your mind?** → **Live video**

**Toggle on** both option and click **save**.

1. **Send a message when you go live**. When you go live, the video link will automatically be sent to all your 1send subscribers.
2. **Invite people to subscribe to marketing messages**. During the live stream, an option to subscribe to your 1send list will appear on your video.
