Publish an Instagram collab post from Notion

Publish an Instagram collab post

A collab post shows up on several accounts' feeds at once, with a "Collaboration" badge. You set it all up from Notion, without touching the Instagram app.

How to invite a collaborator

In your post text, write the collaborator's handle preceded by a double @: @@username.

You can invite up to 3 collaborators per post.
Separate them with a space: @@username1 @@username2.
At publish time, Scheduled sends the invite and cleans the caption: @@username shows up as a plain @username.

A single @username does NOT trigger a collab invite. The double @@ is the explicit opt-in, so you don't accidentally invite a brand or account you only mention in your text.

What happens on Instagram

Each collaborator receives a collaboration request. Once accepted, the post also appears on their feed and the accounts' audiences are combined.

Key takeaways

Double @@username in the text = collab invite.
Up to 3 collaborators per post.
Single @username = regular mention/tag, no invite.
The collaborator must accept the request on Instagram.
