How to Schedule Instagram Stories

Important Note First:

Instagram Stories can only be posted to Business accounts — not Creator or Personal accounts.

If your Instagram account isn’t a Business account, follow these steps to switch and relink your account before scheduling a Story.

How to Schedule an Instagram Story in Cloud Campaign

1. Navigate to Create Content
   • Click the “Create Content” button from the top menu.
   • Select “Story” as the content type.

2. Upload Media

   • Only 1 image or video can be uploaded per Story post.

   Image Specs:

   • Recommended Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920)

   Video Specs:

   • Aspect Ratio: Between 0.1:1 and 10.1
   • Max Resolution: 1920 horizontal pixels
   • We recommend 9:16 to avoid cropping or unwanted background space.
3. Choose an Instagram Account
   • Under the Accounts menu, select the Instagram Business account you’d like to post to.
   • Story posts can only be posted to Instagram — not Facebook or other platforms.

What Happens Next?

• Once uploaded, the content will appear in your Content Library with a “Story Post” banner.
• To schedule the Story:
  1. Click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the content item.
  2. Select “Schedule Post.”
• Your scheduled story will then appear on the Calendar view, and the Story Post label will stay visible beside the content for easy reference.

 That’s it — your Instagram Stories are now set to go out automatically!
