Add an Instagram reminder profile
Quick facts
- At the time of a scheduled post, you will receive a notification email as a reminder to publish the post to Instagram manually.
- Instagram Reminders can help in situations where Instagram's API doesn't support a particular feature, for example, Filters.
- This profile doesn't support direct posting to Instagram. For more information on how this works and why this is useful in some cases, please see Difference between Instagram direct publishing and Instagram reminder profiles
- No reporting data can be returned for Instagram reminder profiles. Please set up an Instagram Business profile for the related Instagram account to see it in reports.
Step-by-step guide
- Navigate to the Add Profiles page by clicking Profiles > Add Profiles
- Click Add under Instagram.

- After a screen displaying how Instagram Reminders function, you can edit the Profile settings. You will be prompted to add an Instagram reminder name for internal purposes. You will then choose any email address to have the notification sent to.
Posting from an email notification
- If you have selected the email notification option, the recipient(s) you specified when you set up the Instagram reminder profile will receive an email notifying them that the attached image(s) or video needs to be uploaded to Instagram.
