There are other ways to schedule your content on Instagram that will help you manage your work time:
✅ You can schedule your content by adding a file in CSV format to save time and schedule all your content in bulk instead of doing it one at a time.
✅ You can create autolists with the content so that the post circulates in several days. You can create an autolist by uploading all the information in bulk in CSV format or writing it manually.
➡️ Add multiple links to your Instagram account
As you may have noticed, Instagram does not allow you to add links in the publications but it does in the profile bio. However, it only allows you to put a link, something that limits your chances to drive traffic to your client’s website from Instagram.
With Metricool this issue is over, you can create a special link that includes several different links that will take the user to the pages you want: a product you want to sell, an event you want to organize, etc.
You will only have to add a button or image and the different links that you want to add. Simply, copy the link that Metricool has generated and paste it in your bio.

We also have a new feature for the inbox. Now, professional Instagram accounts who have a shop are able to tag products in their posts.
The process is very simple and easy to use. The requirements are this: Have a business account, accept the new premises, and have a shop on Instagram.
Once we have all the requirements, we have to access the planner and select the photo in which we want to tag the products. Then go to the presets and we will see a new bottom titled “Add tag product”.
A new window will open to allow us to place the tag in the area of the photo where the product is.
Once we have selected the placement, we can select the catalog and product that we want to tag. At the end we will see the tag in the presets.
