How to manually publish via notification
In some cases, it's not possible to autopublish content from the platform. In those situations, you can still schedule it and complete the publication manual1ly using a notification you'll receive when it's time to publish.
Manual publishing is available for:
➡️ Instagram
Stories from Creator accounts
Stories that include links, mentions, or interactive stickers
Videos with trending music from Instagram's music library
Any content that doesn’t meet the autopublishing requirements
➡️ TikTok
Videos that include music from TikTok’s library
Content requiring effects, stickers, or native features
Any post that doesn’t meet the autopublishing requirements

How does manual publishing work?
Schedule your content in the planner:
Select the post type.
Make sure the Autopublish toggle is off.
When it's time to publish, you'll receive a notification on your mobile device (recommended) or via email.
When you click the notification:
Images or videos are automatically downloaded to your gallery.
Text is copied to your clipboard.
Tap “Publish” to open the Instagram or TikTok app. Then complete your post:
Add the media from your gallery.
Paste the text into the caption.
Make final edits (effects, sounds, stickers, etc).
Finish the post from the native app.
Notes
For a smoother experience, use the mobile app (available on iOS and Android) and log in.
If you choose to receive notifications by email, keep in mind:
Some browsers may block or make it harder to download media automatically.
The process will be less smooth, and you might need to save the files manually.
