How can I connect my Facebook account with Postcrossing?

If you have a Facebook account, you can connect it with Postcrossing so that you can easily publish your actions in Postcrossing (when you send or receive a postcard) to your Facebook feed. To activate this, just follow the steps below:

  1. go to your Account Settings;
  2. use the "Check my Facebook Connect status" button to check the status of the connection;
  3. if it's not connected yet, use the "Connect with Facebook" link to do it. You will need to accept to connect your Facebook account with Postcrossing (you may have to login in your Facebook account first). See screenshoot.

Afterwards, if you do not logout from your Facebook account, whenever you send or receive a postcard a window will appear asking you to confirm if you wish to publish that event to your Facebook wall (note that this window appears only when the page is fully loaded). You'll always have the chance to approve what to publish (or to cancel) and we will not publish anything else to your Facebook account.

If you want to disable this feature, there's two ways to do it: 1) use the same procedure above to find your connection status and simply use the Disconnect button, and 2) you can also do it on your Facebook privacy settings. The location of these settings might depend on your specific Facebook setup, but generally these are the steps to reach it:

  1. go to facebook.com
  2. go to 'Settings'
  3. then go to 'Apps'
  4. find the Postcrossing app in that list and use the 'X' to cancel the connection
