AdlyFeed posts
Single designs made from a short brief or around your product photo, ready for the feed.
Why Instagram schedules fall apart
Instagram rewards accounts that post often and look consistent. That is exactly what is hard for a small business. One good post needs a design that stops the scroll, a caption that sells, and the right format for the idea.
Most Instagram schedulers help with the last step. They hold your finished post and publish it on time. You still make everything yourself.
Adly starts earlier. Tell it what you want to promote, and it creates the post with your logo, colors and product photos: a single design, a carousel, or a short video for Reels. Adly writes the caption, you adjust it, and you drop the post into the calendar. On the day, Adly publishes it to your Instagram account through Meta.
Everything you can schedule to Instagram
Carousels
Tips carousels and multi-product designs publish as swipeable carousel posts. Instagram allows up to 10 images in one carousel.
Reels
UGC-style, animated, multi-scene and product studio videos made in Adly publish to Instagram as Reels.
Stories
Send a design or a video as a Story instead of a feed post when the message is short-lived, like a one-day offer.
Captions and hashtags
Adly writes the caption in Arabic or English. Edit the wording and add your hashtags before you schedule.
A calendar you can see
Every scheduled post sits in the Adly content calendar, so you can spot empty days and move posts around.
How to schedule Instagram posts with Adly
-
1
Use a professional account
Instagram only lets outside tools publish to business and creator accounts. Switching is free in the Instagram app settings.
-
2
Connect through Meta
Link your Instagram account to your Facebook Page, then connect it in Adly through Meta’s own login window. You never share your password.
-
3
Create the post
Ask for a design, a carousel or a video. Review it, request changes, and approve the one you want.

Schedule it
Choose Feed post or Story, pick the date and time, and Adly publishes it for you.
Which Instagram format to use, and when
Each format does a different job. Use this table as a starting point, then adjust to what your audience responds to in Instagram Insights.
| Format | Best for | What Adly makes |
|---|---|---|
| Feed post | Offers, new products, announcements | A single on-brand design, or one built around your product photo |
| Carousel | Tips, comparisons, several products at once | Tips carousels and multi-product designs |
| Reel | Reaching people who do not follow you yet | UGC-style, animated, multi-scene or product studio videos |
| Story | Short-lived offers and reminders for people who already follow you | Any design or video, published as a Story |
Stories disappear after 24 hours, so keep anything you want people to find later in the feed. Carousels go to the feed only, not to Stories.
Instagram caption tips for Arabic and English posts
- Lead with the point. Instagram cuts long captions after the first lines. Put the offer or the hook first, not the greeting.
- Match the language to the audience. Adly writes in Arabic or English. If you serve both, alternate posts or add one short line in the second language at the end.
- Keep hashtags specific. A few hashtags about your product, city or niche do more than a long list of generic ones.
- Ask for one action. Order on WhatsApp, visit the store, book a slot. One clear request beats three.

What Adly does not do on Instagram
Adly creates, publishes and schedules your posts. It does not schedule first comments, run a link-in-bio page, answer DMs or show Instagram analytics. Use the Instagram app or Meta Business Suite for those. Adly also cannot publish to personal Instagram accounts, because Instagram does not allow it.
