Instagram, first.
Feed posts, carousels, Reels, Stories and trial reels, in your colours and your voice. You approve every post, then read the comments and the numbers in the same place.
Every plan connects Instagram. Lead Flows and the DM Inbox are rolling out.
The short answer
What Blendin does on Instagram.
| Which formats can I post? | Image posts, carousels, Reels, and Stories (image and video). There is no text only post, because Instagram has no such format. |
|---|---|
| What can I set on a Reel? | A trial reel (shown to people who do not follow you first) and up to 3 collaborators, who must accept the invite. |
| Is there alt text? | Yes, up to 1,000 characters. It starts from the words on the slide and you can edit it before the post goes out. |
| How far ahead can I schedule? | Free: 10 scheduled posts a month, up to 30 days ahead. Creator, Pro and Business: no monthly cap, up to 365 days ahead. |
| Is there a first comment? | Yes. It posts right after the post goes live. You type it on every plan, and on paid plans the AI can draft it. A Story never carries one. |
| Can I answer comments? | Yes, in the Comments hub: reply, hide, show and delete comments, and see your @mentions. Every reply is public and goes out with exactly your words, after one confirmation. |
| What do Insights show? | Per post engagement, followers and growth, audience demographics and the best time to post, as real numbers or an honest state. History is 30 days on Free, 90 days on Creator, 1 year on Pro and 2 years on Business. |
| How do I connect? | With Instagram Business (sign in with the Instagram account itself, no Facebook Page) or with Facebook Login if the account is linked to a Page. Blendin flags an account that needs reconnecting. |
| Are Lead Flows and the DM Inbox live? | They are rolling out. They need an account connected with Instagram Business, and they wait on Meta's review of the messaging permission. |
Made for how Instagram works.
Reels and Stories
Schedule vertical video and Story frames with the rest of your week, instead of racing the clock on your phone.
Carousels that swipe
Make a carousel in your brand colours and fonts, then send it to the feed with a caption written for Instagram.
Trial reels and collaborators
Show a Reel to non followers first, and invite up to three collaborators before it goes out.
Alt text, built in
Every slide gets alt text drafted from its own words, up to 1,000 characters, ready for you to edit.
Comments in one stream
Reply, hide and delete from the Comments hub, with your @mentions in the same list.
Numbers you can trust
Insights shows a real number or an honest state. A post still collecting data says pending, never zero.
Three steps, then repeat.

Connect
Sign in with Instagram Business. No Facebook Page needed, and every plan connects it.

What Blendin does not do on Instagram
Ask us anything.
Can I schedule Instagram Reels with Blendin?
Yes. Blendin schedules Reels with the rest of your posts, including trial reels and up to three collaborators. Free allows 10 scheduled posts a month inside 30 days, and paid plans have no monthly cap and a 365 day window. A person approves every post.
Do I need a Facebook Page to connect Instagram?
No. Connect with Instagram Business and sign in with the Instagram account itself. An account that is already linked to a Facebook Page can connect with Facebook Login instead. Both publish.
Does Blendin post Instagram Stories?
Yes, image and video Stories. A Story never carries a first comment.
Can Blendin post my first comment on Instagram?
Yes. The first comment posts right after your post goes live. You can type it on every plan, and on paid plans the AI can draft it for you to approve.
What are trial reels?
A trial reel is shown to people who do not follow you first, so you can test a Reel before your followers see it. Blendin lets you schedule a Reel as a trial reel.
Can I add collaborators to a Reel?
Yes, up to three. They are invited by their Instagram username and have to accept the invite on Instagram.
Can I read and reply to Instagram comments in Blendin?
Yes. The Comments hub lists comments and @mentions. You can reply, hide, show and delete. Every reply is public and goes out with exactly the text you wrote, after one confirmation.
Are Lead Flows and the DM Inbox live on Instagram?
They are rolling out. Both need an account connected with Instagram Business, and both wait on Meta's review of the messaging permission. Until then they are not available to every account.
How many Instagram accounts can I connect?
Connected accounts are counted across every network: 3 on Free, 8 on Creator, 20 on Pro and 50 on Business, and paid plans can add more at $5 an account a month.
