Advanced Features
Multi-Platform Scheduling with Vertical Slicing
This node supports advanced multi-platform, multi-format scheduling using a “Vertical Slicing” algorithm. This allows you to schedule different content types across multiple platforms in a single workflow execution.
How it works:
Example:
If you select:
The node will create 3 separate scheduled posts:
1. Instagram Feed + Facebook Feed + YouTube Video
2. Instagram Reel + Facebook Reel
3. Instagram Story
This optimizes API calls while ensuring each content type is scheduled correctly.
Instagram Reel Options
When scheduling Instagram Reels, you have the option to Show Reel on Feed, which makes the Reel visible in your main Instagram grid in addition to the Reels tab.
Usage Examples
Example 1: Simple Cross-Platform Post
Schedule a single post to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube:
Blog ID: 1234567
Post Text: "Check out our new product! 🚀"
Platforms: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube
Instagram Post Type: Feed
Facebook Post Type: Feed
YouTube Post Type: Video
Scheduled Date: 2025-01-15T10:00:00
Media URLs: ["https://example.com/image.jpg"]
Example 2: Multi-Format Instagram Campaign
Schedule the same content as Feed, Reel, and Story on Instagram:
Blog ID: 1234567
Post Text: "New year, new goals! 💪"
Platforms: Instagram
Instagram Post Type: Feed, Reel, Story
Scheduled Date: 2025-01-01T09:00:00
