Click New post to open the composer. It guides you through a few steps: content, schedule, approval and review.
Content
- Pick the Instagram account to publish to.
- Choose the format: single image, Reel (video) or carousel (up to 10 images).
- Upload your media and write a caption.
Drafts save automatically
There is no "Save as draft" button - you don't need one. The composer autosaves your work every time you press Continue and every 20 seconds while you type. Look for the "Saved as draft" indicator in the header. You can safely close the composer and pick the draft up later from the posts list.
Collaborators
You can add up to 3 collaborators to a post (not available on Stories). Note that Instagram sends each collaborator an invitation they must accept in the Instagram app - the post appears on their profile only after they accept, so a Pending state right after publishing is normal.
Good to know
- Tagging people is not supported on Reels (an Instagram API limitation).
- A post needs at least one media file before it can be scheduled or published - captions-only drafts are fine while you work.
Posting to more than one network
If you publish to both Instagram and Threads from the same post, each network needs to know which of your connected accounts it should post as. The composer asks you in the first step, and the Review step shows your choice per network before anything goes out. Different handles on Instagram and Threads are normal - see Choose which account each network posts to for the details, including what the "Several accounts are connected" message means.
Each network can also use a different format from the same draft - a Reel on Instagram and a text post on Threads, for example. See Post different formats to each network.
Facebook works a bit differently. Turn on the Facebook tab in the first step and the post goes out to every Facebook Page you've connected - there's no per-Page picker like Instagram or Threads. Facebook Pages can also publish any format Flomixy supports (image, carousel, video, Reel, Story or text), so adding Facebook to a post never forces a format change on your other networks.
