Instagram's API has several limitations for all scheduling tools.
Here's everything you need to know about how you can get access to Direct Publishing (posts going out automatically):
If you've connected your Instagram professional account to Planable via the Instagram option (Option 1)
Or connected your Business Instagram account which is linked it to a Facebook Business page (Option 2)
Then you are eligible for Instagram direct publishing, enabling access to Posts, Reels, and Stories.
