      How to use the Instagram Post Collaborators Feature

      We are happy to announce that you are now able to schedule content for Instagram directly on Iconosquare with collaborators! This innovative addition promises to revolutionize the way users create and share content on the popular photo-sharing platform.💫
      The Instagram Post Collaboration Feature will allow you to co-author posts with other accounts. Once you've created your post, you will be able to invite another account as a collaborator.

       

      How It Works:

      1. Access Iconosquare Scheduler: Navigate to the Iconosquare Scheduler to initiate the collaboration process.

      2. Create Your Instagram Post: Craft your post by selecting media and composing the perfect caption. Click "Next" to proceed.

      3. Activate Autopost: Ensure Autopost is activated to see the collaborator's field.

      4. Invite Collaborators: Take collaboration to the next level by typing the username of the account you want to invite as a co-author.

      -> Enter the @username precisely as it appears on Instagram, and click on the account you want to add as a collaborator. We can only autocomplete your research for Business and Creator Instagram accounts.
      ->       Complete the scheduling process by clicking "Next" to finalize your collaborative post.

      ->   The co-author account needs to accept the invitation. Their username will be added to the post and the post will be shared with their followers. It will also show on their profile.

      LIMITATIONS : 

      -> You won't be able to add more than 3 collaborators on one post
      -> Only public accounts can be added as collaborators




      What happens to Co-author posts on our Content Section?


      On the Content Section where you view your individual post analytics, if you see the blue "Collaborators" icon at the top left of the thumbnail, you will know that this particular post is a co-author post.

      Only posts that you are the author of will be visible and marked as collaborative posts. If you have been invited to collaborate by another Instagram profile, then this post will not appear in your Iconosquare analytics, even if you have accepted the collaboration and it appears in your feed.
