Schedule Instagram posts
What you can post
| Status | Live |
|---|---|
| Content | Feed images and carousels. Every Instagram post needs at least one image; there is no text-only post. |
| Images | JPEG only. Between 1 and 10 per post (a carousel for more than one). Up to 8 MiB each. Aspect ratio from 4:5 to 1.91:1. |
| Caption | Up to 2,200 characters. |
| Account | An Instagram professional account, connected through Instagram's own sign-in screen. |
Meta approved cometpost's Instagram publishing access in September 2026. cometpost does not read your direct messages or your follower list.
How it works
- Sign in to cometpost with Google and connect your Instagram professional account from the dashboard.
- Approve the permissions on Instagram's own screen. cometpost asks only for what it needs to identify the account and publish what you schedule.
- Attach your images and write the caption, or let an assistant draft the post through the MCP server or API, then pick a time.
- cometpost checks the images against Instagram's rules before scheduling, so a file Instagram will refuse is caught up front with the reason.
Limits worth knowing
- Not supported: Reels, video, Stories and text-only posts.
- cometpost does not convert images. A PNG is refused rather than converted to JPEG.
- The Free plan includes 3 Channels. An Instagram account is one Channel.
