Instagram

Connect your Instagram Business or Creator profile to Postzee to publish photos, carousels, Reels, and Stories directly from the dashboard.

Requirements

An Instagram Business or Creator profile (personal accounts are not supported by the API)
A Facebook Page linked to your Instagram profile
A Facebook account with admin access to that Page

Instagram’s API is managed through Facebook. You’ll log in with your Facebook account during the connection process.

Type	Description
Photo	Single image post to your feed
Carousel	Multiple images in a swipeable post (up to 10 images)
Reel	Short-form video (vertical, up to 90 seconds)
Story	Temporary content that disappears after 24 hours

When creating a post for Instagram, you can configure:

Setting	Options
Post Type	Feed Post or Story
Collaborators	Tag other Instagram accounts as collaborators

Aspect ratios: Square (1:1) and portrait (4:5) work best for feed posts. Use 9:16 for Reels and Stories.
Hashtags: Add relevant hashtags in your caption for discovery (up to 30, but 5-10 targeted hashtags often perform best).
Carousel posts: Great for step-by-step content, before/after comparisons, or telling a visual story.

Problem	Solution
Instagram not showing during connection	Ensure your Instagram is a Business or Creator profile linked to a Facebook Page
”Permissions error”	Make sure your Facebook account has admin access to the linked Page
Posts failing	Check that your media meets Instagram’s format requirements (JPEG/PNG for images, MP4 for Reels)
