How the Instagram Carousel Post component works
Create Instagram Carousel Post
The Create Instagram Carousel Post component enables users to generate a new carousel post on Instagram, containing multiple images or videos with an optional caption. This is especially useful for social media automation workflows, content scheduling, or AI-driven marketing processes where you want to post rich, multi-media content programmatically.
What Does This Component Do?
This component takes a set of media URLs (images or videos) and an optional caption, and then creates an Instagram carousel post. Carousel posts on Instagram allow you to share several media items within a single post, letting followers swipe through the content.
