Effortlessly create an Instagram Carousel post and schedule it for automatic publishing.
Alternatively, if you prefer a hands-on approach, you can manually publish it using our ZoomSphere mobile app. (If that's your preference, skip to the end of the article for a step-by-step guideโalthough, we see no reason for that. ๐)
10 Slide vs 20 Slide Carousel
In ZoomSphere, you can create Instagram carousel posts with up to 20 slides. However, due to Instagram API limitations, only carousels with up to 10 slides can be automatically published. If you wish to create a carousel with more than 10 slides, it will need to be published manually using the ZoomSphere mobile app. ๐ก
How to create an Instagram Carousel post
Choose your Instagram account and select the Instagram Carousel type. Upload as many images as you want using either the Drag & Drop feature or the browse button.
Click "Show all images" and rearrange the order of images according to your preferences. ๐
To delete an image, simply click the X button. ๐
Hovering over the preview image reveals additional icons:
Upload multiple images
View the original image
Edit images in the Image Editorโ
โฐ Configure the publishing date and time, include relevant tags and labels, confirm the status, and then press the Save button.
Automatic Publishing
When Automatic publishing enabled, your post will be automatically published at the scheduled time of your choice once you use the Approved status.
๐ Please note that if you want to publish your carousel post automatically, it must not exceed 10 slides. When you upload more, the manual publishing mode will be enabled.
Auto-publishing only supports the recommended image and video aspect ratio, details for which are provided in each vacant post.
Manual Publishing via ZoomSphere Mobile App
When it's time to publish your post, you'll receive a ZoomSphere push notification on your mobile device. ๐โ
๐ Kindly assign the manual polish option to yourself or one of your teammates.
Tapping the notification will open your post directly in the ZoomSphere mobile app. Scroll down through the post, and click "Publish to Instagram."
The post images will be downloaded to your device, and the post copy will be saved to the clipboard.
