Publish an Instagram Story or mixed-media carousel post
Note: Instagram mixed-media or multiple video carousel posts are not yet supported through our Instagram Business profile. Our first stage was to release Instagram image carousels, and then we'll look to release the rest of the functionality as soon as we can. Instagram Reels or Stories are not yet supported through our Instagram Business profile due to Instagram's API restrictions, which we use to connect. However, please use our Instagram Reminder profile to allow you to post Stories. See the following articles on getting started with our Instagram Reminder profile: How do I add an Instagram Reminder Profile? How Can I Post to Instagram Using Sendible's in-App Notifications?
Once you've set up an Instagram Reminder profile, there are two ways to publish an Instagram Story/carousel post from Sendible: 1) using the Sendible Engage (black) app, or 2) email notifications.
Using notifications from the Sendible Engage app
- Make sure you're logged into the Sendible Engage (black) app to receive a push notification with the content for your Instagram post.
- When you receive the individual push notifications, tap on each notification to save the image to your device. Tap outside the popup to move to the following notification.
- On the last notification, rather than tapping in the shaded areas, you can tap in the blue bar to open the Instagram app. (No need to panic if you miss this and tap in the shaded area again. open the Instagram app and go on to the next step.)
- Once you're in the Instagram app, you can add all of your images to be included in a single Story/carousel post as usual.
Using email notifications
- Open the notification email on your phone and download all the attached images to your device.
- Open the Instagram app.
- Once you're in the Instagram app, you can add all of your images to be included in a single Story/carousel post as usual.
