Scheduler: Instagram Carousel Post

Learn how to schedule & publish Instagram carousel posts in ZoomSphere

Written by Karolina

Instagram Carousels allow you to publish both images and videos in a single post.

Up to 20 Slides, Published Automatically

In ZoomSphere, you can create Instagram carousel posts with up to 20 slides – and all of them can be published automatically. 🎉 Carousels with more than 10 slides no longer need to be published manually.

Of course, you can still publish any carousel manually using the ZoomSphere mobile app if you prefer. 💡

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. 👇

To delete an image, simply click the X button. 👇

Hovering over the preview image reveals additional icons:

  • Upload multiple images

  • View the original image

  • Edit images in the Image Editor​

⏰ Configure the publishing date and time, include relevant tags and Content Pillars, confirm the status, and then press the Save button.


Automatic Publishing

When Automatic publishing is enabled, your post will be automatically published at the scheduled time of your choice once you use the Approved status.

👉 Carousels with up to 20 slides can be published automatically. Just make sure every slide meets the technical requirements – otherwise, 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. 🔔​

👉 Kindly assign the manual publish 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.
