How PostVIA works with Instagram
Connect your Instagram account through the secure authorization flow. Instagram posts always need media, so PostVIA checks that a post has an image or video before it can be sent there.
These are PostVIA's checks for Instagram. The network itself makes the final decision when a post is published.

How do I schedule Instagram posts?
Connect your Instagram account, create a post with an image, a carousel or a video, write the caption, pick the date and time and schedule it. PostVIA publishes it at that time and shows the result in the calendar.
Can I schedule Instagram posts from a computer?
Yes. PostVIA works in the browser, so you can plan and schedule Instagram posts from a computer as well as from your phone.
Can I publish a text-only post to Instagram?
No. Instagram needs at least one image or video; PostVIA shows this before you publish.
Do I need a special Instagram account?
You connect the account through Instagram's own login flow; the account types it accepts are decided by Instagram.
