How to Copy a Facebook Group Link

Finding the link to your Facebook Group should be simple, and it is - once you know where to look. This quick guide will show you exactly how to copy your group’s link on any device. We'll also cover the smart ways to use that link to grow your community and build your brand effectively across all your social platforms.

Why Your Facebook Group Link is a Powerful Marketing Tool

You might think of copying your group link as just a technical step, but it’s actually the starting point for some of the most effective organic marketing strategies available. Your Facebook Group is a hub for your most dedicated followers, customers, and fans. It’s where community happens. The link is your direct invitation, a key that unlocks direct access to your brand's inner circle. Simply put, sharing it effectively is one of the best ways to build a loyal and engaged audience.

Here’s why that link is so much more than just a URL:

• It Unifies Your Audience: Your followers are scattered across different platforms - some are on your email list, others follow you on Instagram or TikTok, and many are subscribed on YouTube. Sharing your Facebook Group link gives all of them a single, centralized place to connect more deeply with you, your brand, and each other. It turns scattered followers into a unified community.
• It Amplifies Your Content's Reach: Whenever you post on your main social channels, you're subject to the platform’s algorithm. In a group, however, your message is delivered more directly. You can use your group to go deeper on topics you introduce elsewhere, creating a powerful content ecosystem that drives sustained engagement. Sharing a blog post? Invite people to discuss it in the group. Launching a new video? Host a live Q&,A about it for your group members.
• It Creates a High-Value Lead Magnet: An exclusive Facebook Group is one of the best lead magnets you can offer. Instead of a generic PDF, you're offering access to a dynamic community, direct interaction with you, and exclusive content you don't share anywhere else. Add the group link to your email signature, a CTA at the end of your articles, and in your profile bios to continuously attract high-intent members who genuinely want to connect.
• It Supports Sales and Onboarding: For businesses, a Facebook Group link is a critical asset. You can create private, customer-only groups and share the link in welcome emails after a purchase. This provides immediate value, reduces buyer's remorse, and gives customers a place to ask questions and connect with fellow users. It becomes a valuable resource for customer support and a rich source of feedback and user-generated content.

Ultimately, a Facebook Group link isn't just for pasting into a text message. It's a strategic tool for turning casual followers into loyal community members, and new customers into brand advocates. Now, let’s get that link.

How to Copy a Facebook Group Link on a Computer (Desktop)

Finding your group’s link on a desktop computer or laptop is the most straightforward method. The URL is always visible in your browser’s address bar. Here’s the step-by-step process.

Step 1: Navigate to Your Facebook Group

First, log in to your Facebook account. Once on your main News Feed, you can find your group in a few ways:

• Click on the “Groups” icon in the left-hand menu. It looks like a small circle of people. This will take you to your main Groups feed.
• Then, under “Groups you manage” on the left, click on the name of your specific group.

Alternatively, you can simply type the name of your group into the search bar at the top of the Facebook page and select it from the results.

Step 2: Copy the URL from the Address Bar

Once you’re on your group’s main page, look up at the very top of your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.). You’ll see the full website address, also known as the URL.

This is your group’s unique link. It will look something like this:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/123456789012345/

Or, if you’ve set a custom URL, it will look more like this:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourgroupname/

Click once inside the address bar. The entire URL should automatically be highlighted. If it doesn’t, you can click and drag your mouse cursor over the full address to select it, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A (on Windows) or Cmd + A (on Mac) to select all the text.

Step 3: Paste and Share the Link

With the URL highlighted, you can now copy it. Right-click on the highlighted text and select “Copy” from the dropdown menu, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C (on Windows) or Cmd + C (on Mac).

That's it! The link is now copied to your clipboard, ready to be pasted into an email, a new social media post, your website, or anywhere else you want to share it.

How to Copy a Facebook Group Link on a Mobile Device (iPhone &, Android)

Grabbing your group’s link on a mobile device is just as easy, but the steps are slightly different from the desktop experience because you won't have an address bar to copy from directly. The process is nearly identical on both iOS and Android devices using the Facebook app.

On the Facebook App (iPhone/iPad)

1. Open the Facebook App: Tap the Facebook app icon on your device to open it.
2. Go to Your Group: Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom-right corner of the screen. From there, tap "Groups," then select your group from the list of groups you manage or are a member of.
3. Find the Share Button: Once you are on your group’s main page, look for the “Share” button. On recent versions of the iOS app, this is often found near the top-right of the screen, sometimes represented by an arrow icon or located underneath the group’s cover photo near the “Joined” or “Invite” buttons.
4. Copy the Link: Tapping the “Share” button opens up a new menu with several options. You'll see choices like "Send in Messenger," "Share to Your Story," and more. Among these options, you will find “Copy Link.” Tap it.

A small notification, often saying “Copied,” will appear on your screen. Your Facebook Group link is now saved to your device’s clipboard, ready to be pasted anywhere you need it.

On the Facebook App (Android)

1. Open the Facebook App: Launch the Facebook application on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Navigate to Your Group: Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of the screen. From there, tap on "Groups" and then select the group you want the link for.
3. Locate the Share Function: On the main page of your group, look for a share icon, which is often an arrow pointing to the right or the word “Share.” It is typically located near the top of the group page, either directly under the cover photo or accessible by a badge with an arrow icon.
4. Copy the Link to Your Clipboard: When you tap the share button or icon, a bottom sheet or a new menu will slide up. This menu will give you options to share the group link via different apps. Look for the “Copy” or “Copy Link” option and tap it.

You’ll get a confirmation message telling you the link has been copied. Now you can paste it into an Instagram Story, a tweet, a text message, or any other app on your device.

Best Practices for Sharing Your Facebook Group Link

Now that you know how to copy the link, let's talk about the best ways to share it. Just dropping a raw link isn’t enough. To encourage people to join, you need to be strategic.

1. Customize Your Group URL First

If your group link is still a long string of numbers, your first step should be to create a custom, branded URL. A link like facebook.com/groups/socialmediamarketerstribe is far easier to remember, recognize, and trust than facebook.com/groups/893750238475.

To do this (as a group admin on desktop):

• Go to your group page.
• In the left-hand admin menu, find and click on “Group settings.”
• Look for the “Customize group” section and click the pencil icon next to “Web Address.”
• Type in your desired custom name and click “Save.” It has to be unique, so you may need to try a few variations.

This simple change makes your group look more professional and established.

2. Always Pair Your Link with a Strong Call-to-Action (CTA)

Never share your link in a vacuum. You need to give people a compelling reason to click and join. Your CTA should communicate the value of your community. Instead of just saying, “Join my Facebook Group,” try one of these approaches:

• Highlight Exclusivity: “Want access to my free monthly workshops? Join our private Facebook community to get the details! [link]”
• Focus on a Shared Goal: “Ready to take your freelance business to six figures? Join our community of high-achieving freelancers for support and strategy. [link]”
• Emphasize Community: “Connect with 5,000+ other small business owners just like you. Ask questions, share your wins, and grow together. Join here: [link]”

3. Use a Link Shortener for Better Aesthetics and Tracking

While a custom Facebook URL is good, it can still be long for platforms with character limits (like X) or for places like your Instagram bio. Using a URL shortening service like Bitly or TinyURL has two major benefits:

• It’s Cleaner: bit.ly/yourbrandcommunity looks much neater than the full Facebook URL.
• It's Trackable: Most link shorteners provide analytics, so you can see exactly how many people are clicking a specific link. This helps you understand which of your promotional channels are most effective at driving new members. You can create different short links for your email signature versus your Instagram bio to compare performance.

4. Strategically Place Your Link Everywhere

Make it incredibly easy for people to find your community. Think about all the digital real estate where your audience interacts with you and plant your group link there. Great locations include:

• Your social media bios (Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn)
• Your email signature
• The footer of your website
• At the end of your blog posts
• In the description of your YouTube videos
• On the thank-you page after someone subscribes to your newsletter
• As a pinned comment on popular social media posts
