This article covers how to publish an Instagram post or story via the Flowbox Publish Android app

Updated over a year ago

Flowbox supports different notification channels for Instagram publishing. The Flowbox Publish Android app is one of the notification alternatives. When it's time for you to publish, a push notification in the Flowbox Publish app will be sent to your Android device.

Carousel posts and Instagram Stories can only be published via notifications. It is not possible to auto-publish these types of content.
