Why Metricool Can't Auto-Post Stories with Stickers

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:

Metricool's Notification Workflow:

  1. 1

    You prepare your story in Metricool

    Upload media and plan your content. Leave notes about sticker placement.

  2. 2

    Metricool sends a push notification

    At your scheduled time, you receive an alert on your phone via the Metricool app.

  3. 3

    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.
