What are the types of Instagram posts you can publish from SocialPilot
SocialPilot now supports the publishing of Instagram posts, Reels, and Stories for business and posts and Stories for personal accounts. But Instagram API still has some roadblocks in place which do not allow direct publishing for certain types of content like GIFs.
But you no longer need to worry about selecting the publishing option from your end. SocialPilot takes care of that task for you. Just select the type of post you are creating, and the tool will automatically schedule your post for the type of account you have selected.
Here are the specifications if you are posting from a Business account

Now, the options for publishing from a Personal account on Instagram are a little different. Here are the details:
