The Facebook Bump Tool
Introduction
The Bump feature provides you the capability to initiate interaction on posts you have published on Facebook groups. This can lead to an increase in visibility and participation for your post.
The Bump tool functions by adding and then removing a comment on your post, causing it to resurface at the top of the group’s feed, making it once again visible to members and increasing the chances of engagement.
The utilization of the Bump tool offers an effective method to broaden the scope of your posts or links, eliminating the need for reposting or sharing them again.
How to Add Posts to the Bump Tool
To add posts to the Bump tool, go to the History tab of your Campaign that you used for publishing on your groups:
1. You can either click on BUMP next to your posts
2. Or you can send posts to Bump tool automatically whenever they are published by checking the “Automatically send new history posts to Bump” option.
Adding Posts Manually:
Another way to add posts is by manually adding the post’s permalink.
- Go to Add Manual Bumps tab in the Bump tool.
- Simply copy the post’s permalink, paste it into the designated box
- Then click on ADD BUMPS button
How to Configure The Bump Tool
After you have added the posts, you can go to the Settings tab to configure how the Bump tool is going to execute its actions.
1. You can choose to execute bumps randomly or on fixed hours.
✅ If “fixed hour is selected”, options 2-5 on the image above will not be visible since they will not be applicable in said case.
2. The number of minutes the tool will wait before the tool will consider bumping the post
3. Specify the number of seconds that the bump tool will wait before it executes a new bump

7. Set the number of times you want to bump the same post.
