I’m wondering if there is a way I can use google sheets to post to Instagram but scheduled to post at a certain day and time in the future. I did a search but was unable to find an answer.
To clarify I want to fill cells with the image, post text, and hashtags. Then a time and date for it to post.
or maybe there is another program I could use instead of Google Sheets like Airtable.

Use Buffer action to post to Instagram
There are other alternatives to buffer like HootSuite and Facebook page connection.
