Instagram scheduler

Schedule Instagram posts without mixing account flows.

Instagram scheduling is reliable only when the workflow respects account type and media rules. SocialClaw keeps standalone professional Instagram and Page-linked Instagram Business flows separate, then validates media before apply.

What you get

The operational pieces that matter before a workflow promises social publishing.

Account types

Standalone and Page-linked routes

SocialClaw separates standalone professional Instagram accounts from Instagram Business accounts linked to Facebook Pages.

Media requirement

Profile, carousel, or Story media

Instagram requires media, supports up to ten carousel items, and uses exactly one item for Story or post + Story publishing.

Publish mode

instagramPublishMode

Use the Instagram publish mode setting to make image or reel intent explicit where needed.

Validation

Check media and account eligibility

Validate before apply so account type, media URL, and Instagram route constraints are checked upfront.

Inputs and requirements

The data and checks that keep the workflow grounded in current provider rules.

How it works

A provider aware flow from connection to inspection.

01

Choose the correct Instagram route

Use standalone Instagram Login for standalone professional accounts, or Instagram Business for Page-linked professional accounts.

02

Prepare the destination's media

Use one image/video for a profile post or Story, or up to ten image/video items for a profile carousel.

03

Set caption and publish mode

Put the caption in description and set instagramPublishMode when the route needs explicit image or reel intent.

04

Validate before scheduling

Validation checks account type, media requirement, URL shape, and provider-specific rules before apply.

05

Apply and inspect the post

Create the scheduled Instagram post and inspect the resulting post or run state.
