Key takeaways
- SkedCast’s Instagram composer has a dedicated location field for scheduled posts.
- It takes an Instagram location page ID, not a free-text place name — the location must already exist as a place page on Instagram.
- The tag is applied at publish time, exactly as if you’d tagged a location manually in the Instagram app.
Add location tag to scheduled Instagram post: adding a location tag when scheduling
In the SkedCast composer, with Instagram selected as a target:
- Open the Instagram-specific options panel below the caption box.
- Enter the location’s Instagram location-page ID in the location field.
- Schedule the post as usual — the tag applies when the post is published.
Finding the right location ID
Instagram’s location tags reference an existing place page by ID, not a typed address — the same underlying system the Instagram app itself uses when you tag a location on a manual post. The most reliable way to get the correct ID for a specific place is to check how that location appears when tagging manually in the Instagram app first, then use the matching ID when scheduling through SkedCast.
