Instagram Scheduling Hootsuite

Yiger · Jan 31, 2018

So it seems that Instagram is finally allowing scheduled posting for its business accounts.

Hootsuite is now allowing for us to schedule 30 posts per account which is pretty awesome.
Its 20$ a month though for a business account (10 accounts, 1 user) which is pretty steep.

Can we assume that other services will start popping up now that Instgram is officially allowing this?

Use Onlypult, 3 accounts, unlimited scheduling, great analytics.

Edit*

They have a 7 day trial, no CC needed. Here is their website.

Ah I actually found out that Hootsuite offers a free account option.

Up to 3 accounts, and a 30 scheduled post limit.

This is fine for queing up posts for 2 of accounts.
I am just going to make multiple free accounts and spread my IG accounts across them.

I am still using Hootsuite too. I love it's ability to learn more about your competition, find the best times to post and also how you can grow your engagement. I am thinking about trying out Buffer. I see reviews that it's a time saver and similar to Hootsuite too.

Oh Buffer looks pretty interesting too. I see they have a free option too.

Are these services approved by Instagram? I think I read somewhere that Hootsuite is some sort of partner with IG.
I am a bit worried since I dont seem to be able to make these services post via the same proxy i am running Jarvee on.

No . Getting access to the API - out of sandbox mode - is not that easy

Have been using Hootsuite for two years with 40 accounts. Hootsuite and Buffer are approved by IG-- until this past week, they "pushed" your post content to a device, which then you had to manually post to IG. Now, IG allows its "approved" partners (Hootsuite, Buffer) to push the content for you directly. No manual action. HOWEVER, we can only see how to push a photo to the IG news feed. No video, which we use a lot. No IG Stories, which we use a lot.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Im fine with doing the occasional video or story manually.
