How to post to Instagram from ChatGPT
In short: add the free Breakreach connector to ChatGPT (Settings → Apps & Connectors), connect your Instagram account, and you can draft, schedule, and publish Instagram posts directly from your ChatGPT conversations. Setup takes about 2 minutes.

Search for “Breakreach” in the connector directory and click Connect.

A Breakreach sign-in window opens — create your account with Google or email (takes about 30 seconds).
- 4
Approve the authorization so ChatGPT can create and schedule posts on your behalf.

In Breakreach, connect your Instagram account (one click via the official Instagram authorization).

Back in ChatGPT, just ask — for example: “Post this photo to Instagram with a caption about our new collection”.

Frequently asked questions
Does ChatGPT need to stay open for scheduled posts to publish?
No. Scheduled posts publish from Breakreach's servers at the time you chose — you can close ChatGPT, your laptop, everything.
Is this using official APIs?
Yes. Breakreach publishes through Instagram's official API with an authorization you grant explicitly, and you can revoke access at any time. Your password is never shared.
Is it free to try?
Yes — Breakreach comes with a free trial, no long-term commitment. Plans start at $23/month afterwards.
Can I post to other platforms from ChatGPT too?
Yes. The same connector handles TikTok, X (Twitter), Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and more — one prompt can publish to several platforms at once.
Can I review posts before they go out?
Yes. Ask ChatGPT to schedule drafts, then review and edit everything in the Breakreach calendar before it publishes.
