Auto-Post Your Google Sheets Content Queue to Instagram on Schedule

Keep a simple content queue in Google Sheets; this picks the next scheduled item each day and publishes it to Instagram, marking it done — so your Instagram stays active while you batch-write once a week.

Frequently asked questions

Can I schedule multiple posts a day?

Yes — run the trigger more often and let Step 1's date/time filter decide what's due, so several slots a day work fine.

What about images?

Store a media URL in the Google Sheets row; Step 3 attaches it. For Instagram, check the supported media types and sizes.
