Can you auto post to Instagram?

Yes. Instagram allows tools to publish automatically from Business and Creator accounts through its official API. Connect the account to a scheduler, schedule the post, and it publishes at that time without you opening Instagram. Personal accounts cannot be auto posted to.

Step by step

Set up Instagram auto posting

  1. Switch to a Professional account

    Business or Creator. It is free and takes about a minute in Instagram settings.

  2. Connect it to SocialAgent

    Authorise through Meta’s official sign-in. No password is entered into SocialAgent.

  3. Set a posting schedule

    Choose days and times. SocialAgent prepares images, carousels or Reels ahead of each slot.

  4. Approve, or go fully automatic

    Approve drafts as they arrive, or enable automatic publishing for that schedule.
