Metricool relies on Instagram's official API, which doesn't support posting interactive story elements like Link Stickers or Polls. Here's what that means for you:
You prepare your story in Metricool
Upload media and plan your content. Leave notes about sticker placement.
Metricool sends a push notification
At your scheduled time, you receive an alert on your phone via the Metricool app.
You manually post the story
Tap notification, open Instagram, add Link Sticker, paste the URL from clipboard, then publish.
Important: Metricool can only auto-publish simple stories with media only. Any story with stickers (Link, Poll, Location, etc.) requires manual posting via notifications.

No. Metricool cannot auto-post stories with Link Stickers or any interactive elements. Due to Instagram API limitations, Metricool uses a notification system where you receive a phone notification and must manually add the sticker and publish the story yourself.
Storrito uses a different approach that allows true auto-posting of stories with all interactive elements including Link Stickers, Polls, Quizzes, Hashtags, and Mentions. Your stories post automatically at the scheduled time without any manual intervention.

If you miss the notification, don't have your phone, or your phone is off, your story won't be posted. You'd need to manually go into Metricool and trigger the notification again or post directly through Instagram.
