How to schedule Instagram posts (step-by-step)
A practical walkthrough using PostLink. Works for feed posts, Reels, Stories, and carousels.
1. Connect your Instagram Professional account
Open PostLink, go to Accounts → Add Account, and choose Instagram. You will be redirected to log in via Facebook. Instagram requires a Business or Creator account — Personal accounts cannot be scheduled via the official API.
2. Upload your media (up to 700MB per video)
Click New Post and upload one or more images, a Reel video, a carousel set, or a Story video. PostLink keeps original quality and supports HDR video where Instagram allows it.
3. Write your caption and add hashtags
Drop your caption, mentions, and hashtags. Use the line-break-friendly editor — Instagram preserves your formatting. PostLink does not strip blank lines like the in-app composer does.
4. Select Instagram (and any cross-post platforms)
Pick Instagram in the platform selector. Optionally check TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Threads, or Pinterest to publish the same media everywhere in one click. PostLink reformats per platform automatically.
5. Pick a publish time
Choose a date and time. PostLink suggests peak engagement windows from the Best Time to Post tool. Schedule up to 90 days ahead.
6. PostLink publishes automatically
At the scheduled time, PostLink uses the official Instagram Content Publishing API to publish your post directly — no push notifications, no manual taps. You receive a confirmation when it goes live.
