Instagram Post

What It Does

This Agent turns any article, URL, DataStream, or custom text into Instagram-ready captions with optional visuals. Every run outputs a valid, structured XML document that can be scheduled at scale — even if your inputs are blank, messy, or contradictory.

It’s tuned for Instagram best practices:

• Hooks that grab attention in the first two lines
• Concise, human captions broken into short paragraphs
• CTAs placed before hashtags and links
• Hashtags capped, relevant, and discoverable
• Emojis limited, tasteful, and never stacked
• Images handled with either uploads or AI-generated visuals

The result is reliable, brand-aligned content that performs on Instagram without requiring social media expertise.

When to Use It

Perfect for:

• Teasing articles or blog posts with captions that push bio link clicks
• Announcing a product launch with energy and clarity
• Promoting events with urgency and details (what, when, where)
• Quick lifestyle or brand moments that keep your feed alive

Use it when:

• You want captions that sound human but are system-safe and XML-valid
• You need consistent formatting, hashtags, and CTA placement
• You want the option of AI visuals or uploaded brand images

When Not to Use It

Avoid using this Agent for:

• Other platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, X have their own Agents)
• Reels scripting or carousels — this is for single-caption posts
• Longform storytelling — captions are capped at 150 words and 2,200 characters

Inputs and Configuration

Basic Configuration

Advanced Configuration

Brand Voice and Guidelines

• Brand Guidelines (editable free text) always take priority. If you paste custom rules, they override everything else.
• If no guidelines: Brand Voice sets tone and style.
• If no Brand Voice: Desired Tone applies.
• If nothing is chosen: the Agent defaults to warm, concise, lightly playful captions optimized for Instagram.

Plain-English summary: If you write instructions in the Brand Guidelines box, the Agent follows them first. If you don’t, it falls back to your Brand Voice or Tone.

About Image Handling

• Upload Your Own: Attach brand assets or photos. No AI credits used.
• AI-Generated: Agent creates a literal, realistic prompt for the selected model. Always provides. Uses credits and takes longer.

Credits and Usage

• Text-only runs = lowest credit cost.
• Uploaded images = no extra AI credits (uses your file).
• AI-generated images = image credits consumed.

Tip: Save credits by uploading branded visuals for routine posts. Spend credits on AI images when you need fresh, campaign-specific scenes.

Output Mapping to Instagram

The XML fields map directly to how posts display on Instagram:

<primary_text> → Caption text shown under the post

<cta> → Call-to-action line inside the caption (before hashtags)

<hashtags> → Listed at the end of the caption

<link_url> → Optional plain-text URL (non-clickable, shown last if enabled)

<image_description> → Prompt for AI-generated image only

<image_caption> → Short tie-in caption for either uploaded or AI image

Note: Links inside captions on Instagram are never clickable. The Agent includes them only if you toggle Include Link = true.

Defaults (Pre-Configured for Success)

• Length: Standard 60–100 words
• Include Link: Off
• Hashtags: 5 total
• Emojis: On (up to 5)
• Tone: Warm, concise, lightly playful
• Structure: Hook first, CTA before hashtags, optional link last

Example Use Cases

• Article Promotion
  • Input: “5 wellness habits that boost energy.”
  • Output: Hook line + 2 habits + CTA “Full guide in bio.” Hashtags: #WellnessTips #DailyHabits.
• Product Launch
  • Input: “Our new app drops Friday.”
  • Output: Launch hook 🎉, 2 benefits, CTA “Follow for updates.” Hashtags: #NewApp #Productivity.
• Event Highlight
  • Input: “Concert in Central Park at 6pm.”
  • Output: Event details with urgency CTA “Bring friends!” Hashtags: #LiveMusic #Community.
• Quick Moment
  • Input: “Coffee break brainstorm.”
  • Output: Relatable caption ☕ + engagement question. Hashtags: #WorkLife #CoffeeBreak.

Troubleshooting

• “Why isn’t my link clickable?”
  Instagram doesn’t support clickable links in captions. The Agent includes them only as plain text if enabled.
• “Why did my hashtags drop below my limit?”
  The Agent trims to your limit and filters out irrelevant or duplicate tags.
• “My caption feels too long.”
  Switch Length Preference to Short or Standard.
• “Why did my CTA disappear?”
  If your CTA referenced a link but Include Link = off, the link was removed — the CTA text should remain.
• “Why does the voice not match my brand?”
  Check the Brand Guidelines box. If it’s empty, the Agent defaults to Brand Voice → Tone → Instagram default.
• “Why are emojis missing?”
  Ensure Emojis Toggle = on. Otherwise, they’re suppressed.

FAQs

Q: Can I post without hashtags?
Yes — set Hashtags Limit = 0.

Q: Do uploaded images use credits?
No. Only AI-generated images consume image credits.

Q: What happens if my input is under 50 words?
The Agent infers a safe, neutral caption to ensure output is valid.

Q: Is there a character limit?
Yes. Instagram caps captions at 2,200 characters. The Agent will trim safely if needed.
