Facebook & Instagram make possible for businesses to schedule stories

Facebook Business Suite was introduced in September 2021, aiming to become an all-in-one platform for business companies to manage their Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger activities. According to the launching company – Facebook, 2 out 3 users say Business Suite helped them reach a larger customer count.

Facebook is bringing out a few updates for businesses, including the ability to schedule stories across Facebook and Instagram. Business Suite is currently used to create and schedule regular posts, now the same functionality is applied to stories. Along with the possibility of stories scheduling, the tool will soon be capable of managing photo albums and saving draft posts.

Businesses can create, publish, and schedule stories to Facebook and Instagram by opening Business Suite on desktop and selecting Create Story. Stories can also be scheduled using the Business Suite mobile app by navigating to the Posts & Stories tab. This is possible following the steps below:

• Select where to create or schedule a post – for your Facebook News Feed, Instagram Feed, or both;
• Click Upload Media and add a photo or video to your story;
• You can customize your story by adding text or stickers;
• Preview how your story looks on Facebook and Instagram before publishing;
• Click Publish Story to publish immediately, or click the blue arrow to select Schedule Story to publish it later;

That’s all it takes to schedule stories using Facebook Business Suite. Another feature available now in Facebook Business Suite allows scheduled posts to be edited before they go live. To change a scheduled post, head to the Scheduled Posts section of the Posts & Stories tab on mobile or desktop, select the post to edit, and choose Edit Post.

New features and options are gradually getting added to Facebook Business Suite, as the company’s goal is to make it an all-in-one tool.
