Those who work with the help of social networks know the existence of some apps and online services that allow manage multiple social networks at the same time.
One of these boards is Buffer: basically it is a service available both via the web and via app for Android and iOS that allows manage their publications on social networks, eventually programmarle, analyze the traffic generated and access statistics related to it.
Buffer has several paid plans, however the free version allows you to connect only one account for each social network available (except for Pinterest for which, after a 7-day trial, you will need to take out a subscription).
Buffer recently introduced integration also with Instagram, also available for those who have a free account, providing a possibility that many were looking for: schedule posts on Instagram.
Or, at least, help you do it.
Yes why the API of the service does not allow you to schedule posts on Instagram, however, thanks to Buffer you can do the following:
- downloaded Buffer su Android o iOS and subscribe to the service;
- immediately thereafter you will be notified of the possibility of connect your Instagram account to the dashboard: do it;
- via the mobile app (or desktop browser) you create an Instagram post using Buffer's dashboard, also adding #hashtag and @mentions; you can also, again via Buffer, add any filters;
- schedule the publication of the post thus created through the Buffer management software at a certain date and time;
- once the desired date and time has arrived, Buffer will show you a notification (bottom image) with the post created earlier, and you will have the possibility to publish it directly on Instagram in just one tap.
While it requires a little initial setup, Buffer is currently your best bet for scheduling Instagram posts - or, at least, getting a notification reminding you to post a pre-packaged post.
