Videos get engagement 👁️‍🗨️

That's a fact so big that Facebookmetastagram had to "borrow" the feature from rising star Tiktok or risk becoming irrelevant. 

Reels generate up to 67% more engagement than regular IG videos. But handling Reels for clients isn't sustainable if you have to post them manually - until now!

With Reels auto-publishing, you can now keep your client's Reels filled with relevant, engaging content. 

Simply click the toggle in the publishing tab when uploading a video, and voila! Easy-peasy Reels scheduling.
