When creating your Instagram post in your Plann workspace using your desktop, all you need to do is:

  1. Start creating a post by choosing the media you want to schedule

  2. Click the "People" Icon on the bottom left side of your image on your Create page

  3. Click on the photo where you want the tag to show up

  4. Then, simply type in the Instagram Business Account handle into the search bar! (Tagging personal Instagram accounts is not available).

  5. Under this same section, you can choose to invite a collaborator to your post

To be able to reply to comments, see results, and tag users and products to your posts, your Instagram account must be linked to a Facebook Business Page.
