Due to social media API restrictions, third-party apps (such as Simplified) aren't allowed to directly publish posts to some of your accounts, such as TikTok and Instagram personal accounts.

That means that, when you schedule a TikTok or an Instagram personal post, those social media don't allow Simplified (or any other third-party apps) to publish your posts automatically.

In this case, when you schedule your post, you will receive an email reminding you it's time to publish your Instagram or TikTok post, and you'll have to do it manually on the respective app.

Here's the step by step:

1 - Create a post and schedule it at your preferred time.

2 - On the time you schedule your post, you will receive an email reminding you it's time to publish your TikTok or Instagram post to your account. This email contains all your post info (media, caption, hashtags).

! note: if you download and install the Simplified app, you will receive push notifications reminding you to publish your post.

3 - Copy and paste your post content from the email, and manually publish it to your TikTok or Instagram personal account.

Note: When the system sends you the reminder email, the post will appear as published on your Calendar. But the post will not be published to your account unless you manually publish it.

💡 TIP: If you want Simplified to automatically publish your Instagram posts, consider switching your personal account to a business account. With an Instagram business account, your posts will be automatically published at the scheduled time.
