A practical ChatGPT workflow

Schedule Instagram posts from ChatGPT

Turn a caption and an image into a scheduled Instagram post from your conversation. SimplePost connects the account, shows a preview, and handles publishing at the time you confirm.

From an idea to a scheduled post

  1. 01

    Connect Instagram in SimplePost

    Open Accounts, choose Connect account, and authorize the Instagram identity you want to publish from. Installing the ChatGPT integration alone does not connect Instagram.

  2. 02

    Enable SimplePost in ChatGPT

    Open the SimplePost listing linked below and install it. Sign in with the same SimplePost account, approve access, and enable SimplePost in your conversation.

  3. 03

    Prepare and preview a draft

    Ask ChatGPT to list your connected accounts. Supply your caption and media, choose the correct Instagram account, and ask to save a draft and show its preview. If ChatGPT cannot pass the attachment, upload the media in the SimplePost web app.

  4. 04

    Confirm the schedule and check the result

    Review the final caption, media, account, date and timezone. Tell ChatGPT to schedule that exact draft. A scheduled result means it is queued; after the scheduled time, ask for the publishing result and check any destination errors.

Open SimplePost in ChatGPT

Try this starter prompt

Replace the example details with your own. Select the text to copy it into your conversation with SimplePost enabled.

List my SimplePost accounts. Help me prepare an Instagram post about our new product update using the image I provide. Ask me for any missing media or account details, save it as a draft, and show me the preview. Do not schedule or publish until I confirm the final caption, media, account, date and timezone.

Example prompt. Saving a draft does not publish it. After scheduling, check the result when its time arrives.

If something gets in the way

No account appears

Connect Instagram in the SimplePost web app, then return to ChatGPT and ask it to list accounts again. Use the same SimplePost login for both connections.

Media needs changes

Use the returned validation message to fix the image or video. A visual preview is an approximation; it does not replace the platform's publishing checks.

The integration is unavailable

Assistant plan and workspace settings can affect access. You can prepare and schedule the post in SimplePost's web composer while resolving the integration.
