Why Creators Are Moving Their Instagram Workflow to Notion
Instagram content creation involves multiple steps: ideation, writing captions, creating visuals, scheduling, publishing, and tracking results. Most creators juggle between Notion (for planning) and a separate scheduling tool (for publishing). That means duplicating work, copy-pasting captions, re-uploading images, and constantly switching between apps.
What if your Notion database was your Instagram scheduler?
How to Publish Instagram Posts from Notion
Write your caption in Notion
Set the date and status
Scheduled publishes to Instagram
Supported Instagram Formats
Photo posts
Single images published directly from your Notion page. Upload any image format and Scheduled handles the rest.
Carousel posts
Upload multiple images or a PDF to your Notion page, and Scheduled publishes them as a native Instagram carousel. Perfect for educational content and storytelling.
Reels
Upload your video to Notion and Scheduled publishes it as an Instagram Reel. Add your caption, hashtags, and cover image directly in your Notion database.
Stories
Schedule Instagram Stories from Notion. Upload one or multiple images and videos, and they’re published as separate stories in order. Set the date and they go live automatically.
Why Use Notion as Your Instagram Planner
Visual calendar
Notion’s calendar view gives you a bird’s-eye view of your content schedule. See what’s going live today, this week, or this month at a glance.
Content batching
Write a week’s worth of Instagram captions in one sitting. All your content lives in the same database, organized by status, date, format, and platform.
Team collaboration
If you work with a designer, copywriter, or client, everyone can collaborate directly in Notion. Review, comment, and approve posts without leaving the workspace.
Multi-platform publishing
Your Notion database isn’t limited to Instagram. Schedule the same content to LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and X from the same database.
Analytics in Notion
After publishing, Scheduled syncs your Instagram post stats back into Notion. Track likes, comments, reach, and saves directly in your database properties.
Setup Guide
Create your database
Set up a Notion database with properties for caption, date, status, platform, and media files.
Connect Scheduled
Sign up on Scheduled and link your Notion workspace.
Map your properties
Tell Scheduled which Notion properties correspond to date, status, and platform.
Connect Instagram
Authorize your Instagram Business or Creator account.
Start scheduling
Add your content, set dates, and let Scheduled publish automatically.
Instagram publishing requires a Business or Creator account connected to a Facebook Page. This is an Instagram API requirement, not a Scheduled limitation.

See pricing →vs. Other Instagram Scheduling Options
vs. Later / Planoly
Visual-first schedulers that require you to leave Notion entirely. You’d need to recreate your content calendar in their interface, duplicating your workflow.
vs. Buffer / Hootsuite
General-purpose social media tools with no Notion integration. Copy-pasting captions and re-uploading media becomes the bottleneck.
vs. Make / Zapier
Possible to automate Notion → Instagram, but handling image uploads through automation is unreliable. Carousels and Reels are particularly difficult to configure.
vs. NotionSocial / NotionScheduler
Other Notion schedulers support Instagram, but Scheduled offers broader format support (Stories, Reels) and analytics synced back to Notion.
