The problem it solves

Building a multi-image Instagram post by hand means uploading each photo, creating containers, and stitching them together in the right order, which is slow and easy to mess up. Product drops and lookbooks need this done fast and consistently.

Who it fits

Ecommerce brands and marketing teams launching product drops or multi-item announcements on Instagram.

How it works

A product collection with slide images, captions, and details is submitted to the system
The system checks that everything meets Instagram's requirements and builds the caption
Each image is uploaded and turned into an Instagram slide
The slides are assembled into one carousel post
The carousel is published to Instagram and a notification is sent to Slack
