There are some cases where you may not want to use the direct publishing option to publish your posts on Instagram or TikTok. This is because the social network has decided not to enable certain features in the API.
The Mobile notification system is available for posts created for Instagram & TikTok and is useful in the following cases:
when you want to share more than 1 video/image to your Instagram Stories
adding custom features to your Instagram Stories, like text effects or stickers
if you want to use custom audio in your Instagram Reel post
if you want to use custom audio in your TikTok post
when creating Instagram collaboration posts
Please note: Agorapulse has developed a workaround for publishing Instagram Stories with Link Stickers. This workaround only allow Link Stickers, not any other sticker type.
You can read more about that workaround here.
You can schedule your post on Agorapulse and complete it on your mobile device using our Mobile notification system.
