Not publishing yet

Hookpost supports this network, but connecting a new account is waiting on Meta's review of the Instagram and Threads permissions. Until that lands, new accounts cannot connect it. Facebook Pages, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky and the other channels work today.

Instagram publishing runs through the Content Publishing API, so a scheduled post goes live on its own. There is no push notification asking you to finish it by hand, which is how most tools that call themselves Instagram schedulers actually work.

What you can publish to Instagram

Feed posts and Reels

A single image, or a video that Instagram treats as a Reel. Caption up to 2,200 characters, counted as you type so a post that would be rejected never leaves the calendar.

Carousels up to 10 items

Each slide is uploaded as its own container and the carousel is published as one atomic action, so a partial upload never leaves you with half a carousel on the profile.

Stories

Published as a Story rather than to the grid. Chosen per post, so the same draft can go to either.

Set on each post

  • ✓Post / Reel or Story
  • ✓Collaborators — invite another account to co-author
  • ✓Trial Reel, shown first to non-followers
  • ✓Graduation strategy: publish manually, or automatically on performance
  • ✓Audio selection

It has to be a Business or Creator account

Meta only exposes publishing for Business and Creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page. Personal accounts cannot be scheduled by any tool, including this one — if a connection fails, that is almost always why.
