🧰 Instagram Carousel Scheduler

A tool to automatically publish Instagram carousels using a Post Description, Instructions, and the number of images you want to post — all directly from a Google Sheet.

At the end of each post, the next row is marked as Pending, allowing fully automated posting, so you can prepare months of content in advance.

✅ Requirements

• 📱 Instagram Business Account
  Required to publish content via the Meta Graph API.
  Make sure your IG account is connected to a Facebook Page.

• 🔐 Facebook Developers Token
  Required to use the Graph API and publish on Instagram.
  👉 It's highly recommended to create a System User so your token never expires.

• ☁️ Cloudinary Upload Preset
  Used to upload generated images and retrieve public URLs.
  👉 Use an unsigned upload preset (no API key required).

• 🧠 OpenAI API Key
  Used for:

  • Generating a caption from the post description.
  • Creating image prompts.
  • Generating images using gpt-image-1.
    ⚠️ You might need to verify your business with OpenAI to access this model.

• 📊 Google Sheets App with OAuth credentials
  To fetch your content and instructions from the spreadsheet.
