Create, plan, review & schedule your favorite Stories for Instagram with your team directly from Planable.

Creating stories

You can create stories either from the feed view where you'll see the option to "Create new story":

Or directly from the composer, by selecting the "story" tab:

To create your story you can choose from these options:

  • Add images

  • Add videos

  • Add text

  • Customize background colors

Unfortunately, due to Instagram API, we're not able to add links, hashtags, tags, or other Instagram features to your Instagram stories at this moment.

Scheduling stories

After you create the post you'll be able to schedule or publish the post.Β 

From your page settings, you can choose how you'd like to publish stories.

Publishing directly

For Instagram business accounts that are linked to Facebook pages, stories can be published automatically. When adding a page in Planable, publishing stories automatically will be disabled, so make sure to enable it from the page settings as shown above.

Once you've scheduled your story it will be published directly on your Instagram page at the chosen date & time.

Publishing through the mobile app

For all other types of Instagram accounts, or if you prefer to make some last edits from Instagram, you can publish using the Planable mobile app.

After you schedule your story, when it's time to publish you'll receive a notification on your mobile device (download the apps here) to publish the post, then you're redirected to the Instagram account and you'll have to select "Story", like in the GIF below.Β
