Post To Instagram
What it is

How it works
This block uses Ayrshare's API to publish content to Instagram Business or Creator accounts. It supports feed posts, Stories (24-hour expiration), Reels, and carousels (up to 10 images/videos), with features like collaborator invitations, location tagging, and user tags with coordinates.
The block requires an Instagram account connected to a Facebook Page and authenticates through Meta's Graph API via Ayrshare. Instagram-specific features include auto-resize for optimal dimensions, audio naming for Reels, and thumbnail customization with frame offset control.
