Instagram

The account type Instagram requires, how it connects, and what it reports back.

What this does

Publishes your finished video to Instagram as a Reel, on the schedule you set.

How to use it

  1. Make sure your Instagram account is a professional account - Business or Creator.
  2. Open Connections and choose Add account on Instagram.
  3. Sign in with Instagram and approve TRESSO.

What you'll see

TRESSO shows an Instagram destination as your username, so you can tell two accounts apart at a glance.

Good to know

Instagram only allows scheduled posting from a professional account. A personal account cannot publish through any tool, TRESSO included, and TRESSO will tell you so when you connect rather than failing at posting time.

New Instagram accounts connect with Instagram's own sign-in; you do not need to link a Facebook Page. Accounts connected earlier through a Facebook Page keep working.

You can connect up to two Instagram accounts.

If Instagram rejects an upload without giving a reason, nothing was published and your account is still connected - it is not a problem with the size of your video. TRESSO retries Instagram by itself about 15 minutes later, up to twice, and shows the time of the next retry on the post in Archive Vault. You can also choose Retry Instagram there.

Instagram reports likes and comments as engagement. View counts need an Instagram Insights permission that Meta has not yet approved for TRESSO, so TRESSO says views are unavailable instead of showing a zero.
