  • Carousels that mix images and video

Rules set by Instagram

  • Every post needs an image or video; Instagram has no text-only posts
  • Only Business and Creator accounts can be connected; Instagram doesn't allow tools on personal accounts
  • Instagram publishes every video as a Reel, and downloads it from a public link, so media storage must be reachable from the internet

Connecting

How the account is connected

Connected through the Instagram API with Facebook Login, using the Facebook Page linked to the Instagram account.

Every post is approved by a person before it is sent, and you can disconnect the account in Channels at any time, which deletes its stored tokens. See Security and Data deletion.
