Codex and Instagram questions

Can Codex post to Instagram?

Yes. Connect your Instagram account in dopost and follow the Codex setup guide.

Can Codex post Instagram Reels?

Yes. Ask for a Reel and Codex sets the post type to reel. Add "only in the Reels tab" to keep it out of the main feed.

Do I need a Meta developer app or API key?

No. You connect Instagram once in dopost and Codex uses that connection. There is no developer account, review or token to manage.

Can I check my Instagram results?

Yes. You can check the available metrics for your Instagram accounts and posts.

Can I review content before scheduling?

You can ask the agent to show you the content before scheduling it.
