Adding Music or Links to Instagram Posts

Some Instagram features can only be added in the app. Use notification posting to add music, link stickers, and other native effects.

A few Instagram features can only be added from within the Instagram app, so they aren't available when Postpone publishes a post automatically. These include:

  • Trending audio and music
  • Link stickers
  • Stickers, filters, and other visual effects
  • Interactive elements like polls and quizzes

Instagram's API doesn't make these features available to third-party tools, so this applies to every scheduling platform — not just Postpone.

Add music with notification posting

To use any of these features, schedule your post with notification posting. You still plan and time everything in Postpone, then put the finishing touches on your post in the Instagram app when it's time to publish.

When you add music to an Instagram post in Postpone, the post automatically switches to notification posting. The music you enter is saved as a reminder for you — it isn't sent to Instagram.

  1. Schedule your post in Postpone and enter the music you want to use.
  2. When it's time to post, Postpone sends a notification to your phone.
  3. Open Instagram from the notification, add your track or link sticker, and publish.
