Plan your Instagram content in Notion
Organize by content type
Feed posts, Reels, Stories, and Carousels each have different dimensions, character limits, and best practices. This template includes a "Content Type" property with pre-filled options so you can filter by format. View only your Reels queue, or see everything in the calendar.
Knowing your content mix matters. Instagram's algorithm rewards creators who use all formats. This template makes it easy to check if you're over-indexing on one type and neglecting others.
Visual planning with gallery view
Instagram is a visual platform. How your feed grid looks matters for new visitors. Use Notion's gallery view with this template to see your upcoming posts as a visual grid. Attach images directly in Notion pages, and the gallery view shows thumbnails. Spot visual inconsistencies before posting.
Caption writing tips
Instagram captions are limited to 2,200 characters. The first 125 characters appear before "more". This means your hook needs to land in those first two lines. Write hooks that create curiosity, ask questions, or make bold statements. Use line breaks generously and structure long captions for skimmability.
Pro tip: draft your captions in Notion with the character counter property, then publish with Scheduled. The formatting (line breaks, emojis) is preserved exactly as you wrote it.
