Auto Posting to Instagram (Reels, Stories, Carousels)

Hey social media managers. Today, we’re going to discuss how you can level up your Instagram game by automating your posts. This includes your reels, your stories, your carousels, all the different Instagram posts, all using Vista Social. Let’s jump in.

Why Automate Your Instagram Posts

Being a social media manager means that we’re juggling a lot of things all at the same time. Automating your Instagram posts can help you to save some of that time. It helps you to maintain a consistent posting schedule and to maximize your engagement. Vista Social can really help you do exactly that. It’s an all-in-one social media management platform. It helps you to schedule your posts and automate them across all the different platforms.

Scheduling Different Instagram Post Types

Today though, we’re going to be focused specifically on Instagram. With Vista Social you can plan and schedule all the different types of Instagram posts. For example, with reels, you just upload your video, maybe choose a cover image. You write a catchy caption, maybe use ChatGPT, and schedule a time for this post. You can do the same thing for stories; just make sure to set your posts to publish as a story. For carousels, you upload all your different images and videos, you arrange them, you write your caption, and you’re good to go. And for all of these post types, you can actually preview what the post will look like before they actually get published.

Leveraging Trending Sounds and Tags

One of the coolest features in Vista Social is the ability to tap into trending sounds and tags when you’re creating Instagram reels. For example, you can search for trending sounds right within the library that’s curated by your own team and then you can add them to your videos. Now, if you prefer a very specific trending sound, you can also use our browser extension to save those sounds as you navigate through Instagram.

You can also add location tags, it’ll help you to reach a local audience and use our hashtag suggestions to help you maximize reach.

Team Collaboration Features

Let’s not forget about collaboration. Our post-level notes feature allows you to collaborate with your team or your clients directly. You can leave notes, you can add feedback, ideas all on individual posts. And it really makes the review process that much easier.

Automating Instagram posts with Vista Social is definitely a game changer. Not only does it help you to save time, ensure consistency, but it allows for collaboration while helping you to create engaging content. If you want to learn more, head over to vistasocial.com.
