Written by Mysha Didi | Jul 5, 2022 2:46:04 PM

We’ve got some great news to start your week off - you are now able to schedule and publish Instagram Reels directly through Sendible! 🙌

Up until now, Meta has not allowed Reels to be published via third-party tools. This has meant that users on Sendible have had to use the Instagram Reminder feature to publish and schedule Reels.

With the increasing popularity of short-form videos, Reels have become a great way to attract new followers thanks to these videos being heavily featured on the Instagram Explore Tab. 

Their discoverability makes it the perfect way to grow your brand and online presence. This update will help streamline your publishing process so that you are able to create more engaging video content for your audience.

Now Here: Direct Instagram Reels Publishing! 🥳

That’s why we’re thrilled to let you know that auto-publishing Reels to Instagram on Sendible, is here!
