In addition to the usual scheduling and publishing of Instagram posts (photo and carousel posts, stories, reels) via Facelift, Mobile-App Publishing is also available. Here, a few clicks are required in the Facelift Mobile App to publish planned posts.
Steps in Facelift
To publish an Instagram post using the app, select Mobile-App Publishing in the post creation, prepare it, and schedule it as usual. Under the item Notify on Publication, you can select which Facelift users should be notified by email at the scheduled publication time.
The post will now appear in your Planner with the status Planned. You will find the post in your Facelift App. The post will change to the status Pending at the scheduled publication time, and the specified users will also be notified by email.
💡 The post will have the status Successful in your Planner in Facelift as soon as it is manually marked as published in the app.
Steps in the mobile app
Switch to your Facelift App at the scheduled time of publishing the post and follow the steps below:
💡 Make sure you are logged in with the appropriate Instagram account in the Instagram app.
Switch to the Planner tab (make sure to filter by Instagram Posts).
Select the post. Click Publish Now to copy the text to your clipboard and save the images/videos on your device.
You will be redirected to the Instagram app. Choose whether you want to publish the post in your feed or as a story.
As usual, publish the post (text from the clipboard and images/videos from your device memory) and make final changes if needed.
If you have scheduled the post for multiple Instagram accounts, return to the Facelift app, click on the account's name, and tick it off. Then, repeat the publishing process for the other accounts (again: make sure you are logged into the correct account in the Instagram app).
After publishing to all accounts, click the tick next to the Publish Now button in the Facelift app.
The post will now have the status Successful in your Planner in Facelift.
