- check_circle Schedule posts for a future date and time

Try it out
Here are some things you can ask Oskuo to do:
- chat_bubble "Schedule an Instagram post for tomorrow at 10am: [caption]"
- chat_bubble "Show my scheduled Instagram posts"
Good to know
- info Oskuo can't read or reply to your Instagram DMs or comments — it's only for publishing and scheduling posts.
- info Stories and Reels aren't supported yet — only standard feed posts for now.
- info Analytics and insights (likes, reach, follower counts) aren't available through this connector.
- info Only Business and Creator accounts work — personal Instagram accounts aren't supported by the Instagram API.
Keeping things secure
- lock Oskuo posts on your behalf — always review content before publishing. Only Instagram Business and Creator accounts are supported (this is an Instagram API limitation).
- lock Oskuo never stores your Instagram password. Connection is handled securely through the Late platform using industry-standard OAuth.
- lock Your authorisation credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption.
- lock You can disconnect Instagram at any time from Settings, which immediately revokes Oskuo's access.
- lock All connector activity is recorded in your team's audit log so you can see exactly when posts were published.
