Third Party Platforms Will Soon be Able to Provide Instagram Stories Scheduling

Excellent news for social media managers, with Meta adding Instagram Stories posting capacity into its Instagram Graph API, which signifies that third-party posting instruments will quickly be capable of facilitate Stories posting, and scheduling, making it simpler to handle your content material from a single platform.

As per Meta:

“The Instagram Graph API enables Instagram Business accounts to publish up to 25 single images, videos, reels (i.e. single media posts), or posts containing multiple images and videos (carousel posts) per day using third-party developer platforms. This API enhancement will be available for the current version, v16.0, and all previous versions of the Graph API. As there are no new endpoints or permissions, Stories will become automatically available for developers who already have access to the Content Publishing API.”

It may very well be a giant assist for these managing Stories posting by way of apps like Hootsuite, including one other ingredient into your major dashboard for posting. I personally choose posing through native app instruments as a lot as doable, as it could present a extra correct reflection of how your publish will look within the preview, however having extra functionality to remain throughout all facets of your presence from a single platform can be useful, in some ways.

Your administration platform will now must combine the brand new replace earlier than making it out there of their apps, which you’ll be able to seemingly anticipate a while quickly.

And with Stories now one of many key engagement surfaces within the app, more so than the main feed, it’s positively value contemplating if and the way this may change your Stories posting technique.
