Yes - you read that right! The day that we have all been waiting for is finally here. You can now automatically publish and schedule image carousels to Instagram directly through Sendible! 🙌
Up until now, Instagram did not allow carousel publishing via third-party tools. As a result, users on Sendible could only schedule and publish multi-image posts through our Instagram Reminder feature.
Carousels are an important format in helping you create great content for your audience. Not only do they encourage engagement, but they also drive your profile’s reach with higher visibility compared to single-image posts, thanks to recent trends like photo dumps.
Instagram image carousel support is finally here! 🥳
That’s why we’re thrilled to let you know that one of our most requested features in the history of Sendible, auto-publishing multiple image posts to Instagram on Sendible, is now here!
Watch this short video to find out how you can publish your first carousel through Sendible:
This has been a long-awaited request from many of our customers and is a significant step in improving and automating your Instagram publishing workflow.
This update will allow you to:
- Save more time by automating publishing and scheduling multi-image posts to Instagram
- Ensure that your posts are published exactly when you want them to be
- See which images are not aligned with Instagram’s image dimension requirements and edit them directly on your Compose Box

We want to say a huge thank you to all of our customers who have been waiting for this with us. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates coming!
