Requires a Business or Creator Instagram account connected to a Facebook Page - Meta’s own requirement for any scheduling tool, not ours.
How to connect Instagram
- 01
Connect Instagram through Facebook Login for Business and pick the linked Page.
- 02
Upload media, write your caption, choose the format (post, Reel, Story or carousel).
- 03
Set a time. Plan shows the account, format and schedule before anything is created.
- 04
Confirm. Dropslate builds the container and publishes it through Instagram’s API.
Questions before you start
Why does Instagram need a Facebook Page?
That is Meta’s own requirement for the Content Publishing API - every scheduling tool, not just Dropslate, connects through a linked Page.
Start with two accounts. Upgrade when the queue grows.
No card, no time limit. Connect a channel, upload a file, schedule a post — or let your agent do it.
