Add Post Ideas

A post is one Instagram post idea inside your content plan, its title, format, and caption, ready to be turned into a design.

Add a post

  2. Go to the Posts tab.
  3. Click New Post.
  4. Fill in the fields:Title: for example "3 tips for better sleep".Format: Quote, Infographic, iPhone Notes, or Carousel.Number of slides: only shown if you pick Carousel. Choose between 1 and 20.Content Angle: the theme this post fits, for example "Educational".Caption: the actual caption text you'll use on Instagram.
  5. Click Create Post.

Track a post's status

Open a post and click Edit to change its Status:

StatusWhat it means
IdeaThe post is just an idea so far.
DesigningYou're working on the visual.
ReadyThe design is finished and ready to post.
PublishedYou've posted it in Instagram yourself.
FailedIt didn't work out.

You set this status yourself. Contendar does not connect to Instagram, so it cannot detect when you've actually posted something. "Published" is just your own note to yourself.
