Instagram direct publishing works seamlessly with the same workflows your team is already using for all of your other social channels and marketing content on Gain. Your clients can enjoy previewing and approving Instagram posts as you create them, and Gain will take care of the rest.
How direct publishing works
Since Instagram has not opened up its API to all social publishing tools yet, we’ve decided to bring Buffer into our platform to make sure you have access to direct publishing. Keep in mind, Instagram only allows direct publishing of single-image posts to Instagram Business accounts.
To get started, you’ll need to connect your Instagram Business accounts to a Buffer account, and then connect that Buffer account to Gain. You’ll only have to do this once and here’s a quick step-by-step guide.
Once you link these channels, you and your team can draft, approve, schedule, and direct publish single-image Instagram posts via Gain!
Depending on the type of content you want to share, there are now two ways to publish to Instagram:
- Direct publishing (for single-image posts) on Gain via Buffer
- Push notifications via the Gain Notify app (for all multi-image posts, videos, as well as single and multi-image Stories)
