Schedule and Publish Instagram Posts

To use Publisher to create, publish, and schedule your Instagram content, you need to add an Instagram business account to your Emplifi Account.

You can learn how to set up a business account from Meta’s officials documentation at https://www.facebook.com/business/help/502981923235522.

What is an Instagram business profile?

Instagram business profiles are just like personal profiles, except they also allow users to:

  • Promote posts directly from the app

  • View more detailed performance metrics (Reach, Impressions) with Instagram Insights

  • Add business contact information so customers can reach you through the app

To create an Instagram business profile, you need to link it to a Facebook Page. To do this, you need to be a Facebook admin of the Page. Moving forward, the posts you choose to share from Instagram on Facebook will be on that Page.

Business profiles cannot be private.

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Click Profiles.

  3. Find the Instagram profile and in the Profile details tab, Connection section, click Connect publishing for Instagram publishing.

  4. Complete the authentication process to give Emplifi permission to publish content to your Instagram profile.
