Reels publishing that knows Instagram's rules.

Instagram publishing has real prerequisites: a professional account, a connection that is actually healthy, and a publishing quota that runs out. Selfpost checks all three before you schedule.

Every destination is checked before you schedule, so a platform rule stops the post here rather than at the publish time you were counting on.

What it does

Built on the official API, with its limits visible

Instagram publishing goes through the official Instagram API. That brings requirements a generic scheduler tends to discover on your behalf, at the worst moment.

Professional accounts

Publishing requires a professional account with the right access. Selfpost shows the connected account's type (Business or Creator); personal accounts cannot be connected because Instagram's publishing API requires a professional account.

Quota you can see

Instagram limits how many posts an account may publish in a rolling window. Selfpost checks Instagram's 24-hour publishing limit for the account and shows how much of it is used before you schedule.

Container processing

Media is prepared through Instagram's container flow, and a post is only reported as published once Instagram confirms it.

Reconnect without losing work

If permissions are revoked, the account is marked for reconnection and your drafts and schedule stay intact.

Instagram may still decline a post at publish time for reasons no API exposes in advance. Selfpost reports what Instagram returned instead of marking it published.
