Our Instagram post scheduler supports “direct posting” on Instagram Business or Creator Profile. Instagram post scheduler for Instagram Personal Profile and Instagram Business/Creator Profile is slightly different than other schedulers.
Instagram doesn’t allow direct posting of your posts on Instagram Feed, Story or Reel (for Personal account) and posting on Story (for Creator account) through third-party tools. Thus, you will need to have the RecurPost and Instagram mobile apps downloaded on your mobile phone.
Instagram Post Scheduler support by Account Types
At the moment, three kinds of Account Type profiles can be created on Instagram:
- Business Profile
- Personal Profile
- Creator Profile
1. Posting on Instagram Business Profile
RecurPost supports ‘direct publishing’ of posts on Instagram Feed, Story and Reel for Instagram Business Profiles. If you have a Business account on Instagram, you can schedule a post normally by setting the date and time in RecurPost, and we will post it accordingly on your Instagram profile without you having to remember about it and without a push notification.
Here are our video tutorials showing how it works.
2. Posting on Instagram Creator Profile
RecurPost also supports ‘direct publishing’ of posts for the Creator profile but only for Feed and Reel and not for Story as mentioned above. This is because of the limitation from Meta’s end. The posting for Instagram Feed and Reel is same like Instagram Business Profile but posting to Instagram Story for this Creator profile works via push notification.
You can follow this posting process to share your Instagram Stories for Creator Account type.
3. Posting on Instagram Personal Profile
For Instagram Creator Account type, you can start by scheduling a post for Instagram at a time of your choice or best-time suggested by us. When this time arrives, you will receive a push notification through the RecurPost Mobile App.
After logging into your accout in RecurPost mobile app, please make sure that you have enabled notifications for RecurPost. You can check this by going to your notification settings. Once you get notificaiton for Instagram post on your phone, you need to tap on the notification. This will show the Instagram post that you have scheduled at specific time. The image and the text will be displayed for your final approval.
Simply click to post it to Instagram. The text will be copied to your phone’s memory and the media (image or video ) will be copied to your phone’s Gallery or Photos and this will allow you to easily paste in the Instagram app. Finally, we open your Instagram app where you can post it.
You can find a video of the process here for both Android and iOS devices:
