How to publicize your custom post types
Jetpack allows you to publicize all your WordPress posts to share on social media accounts. However, Jetpack does not support custom post types to auto-share new blog posts. You need to manually edit your functions.php file and add some code snippet to it to publicize your custom posts.

add_action('init', 'my_custom_init'); function my_custom_init() { add_post_type_support( 'your_custom_post_name', 'publicize' ); } |
Here, in this code snippet, you have to change ‘your_custom_post_name’ with your custom post type.
Each time you create a new custom post type, you have to add this code snippet to publicize the new custom post types. After you know how to auto share new blog posts you should also read How to Auto-share- old blog posts.
