How to Post to Instagram (and LinkedIn, X) from WhatsApp

The biggest reason creators go quiet isn't a lack of ideas — it's that the idea arrives on a bus, and the app is three taps and a login away. WhatsApp is already open. RiseScribe's WhatsApp bot turns a message — a topic, a photo, a link — into a finished post, shows it to you, and schedules or publishes it when you say so. Here's how to set it up and what you can send it.

How it works

  1. Connect your channels once in RiseScribe (Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube…) through each platform's official login. Instagram needs a Professional account.
  2. Add your mobile number to your RiseScribe profile (Settings → Mobile). That number is your login on WhatsApp — one number, one account — so the bot knows whose channels it's posting to.
  3. Message the RiseScribe number from that phone. A topic ("3 lessons from Q2"), a photo with a line of context, or a link to an article or YouTube video.
  4. Review the draft the bot sends back — caption, hashtags, and which channel it's going to. Reply to change the tone, the language or the wording.
  5. Say the word. Tap Publish, Schedule or Discard — or type yes to send now, schedule to pick a date and time, no to drop it. The bot confirms, and the post appears in your RiseScribe calendar like any other.

The bot understands English, हिन्दी and मराठी — both in what you send and in what it writes. "आज संध्याकाळी ७ ला पोस्ट कर" works.

What you can send

  • A topic — a sentence is enough. The AI writes the post in your saved tone with your standing rules applied.
  • A photo — with or without a caption idea. The photo becomes the post's image; the AI writes around it.
  • A link — an article or a YouTube video. The bot reads it and writes your take, not a summary.
  • A trend — ask "what's trending?" and pick one; the post is written about that story.

Examples

You sendYou get back
"Post about today's rate cut for LinkedIn, professional tone"A 3-paragraph LinkedIn post with a hook, your angle, and 3 hashtags — ready to schedule
A photo of your morning run + "day 30"An Instagram caption in your voice about consistency, plus hashtags, with the photo attached
A YouTube link + "marathi madhe"A मराठी post summarising your take on the video, for the channel you choose
"schedule" → "tomorrow 8:30 pm"Confirmation with the exact time in your timezone, and a calendar entry

What it will never do

  • Post without your say-so. Every draft waits for yes, schedule or no. Silence means nothing goes out.
  • See your passwords. Channels connect through official OAuth logins; the bot holds a permission you can revoke any time.
  • Read your other chats. It's a business number you message; it sees only what you send it.

Who it's for, and what it costs

WhatsApp posting is on RiseScribe's Pro plan (₹499/month) and above, because it's the feature people use most once they have it. The Free plan gives you the same AI writer and scheduler inside the app, for 5 posts, with no card. Compare plans or read the feature page.

Quick answers

Can I post to Instagram directly from WhatsApp?+

Not natively — Instagram has no WhatsApp posting feature. With RiseScribe, you message a WhatsApp bot and it writes, schedules and publishes the post to your connected Instagram (and LinkedIn, X or YouTube) on your instruction.

Does the bot post automatically?+

No. It drafts and waits. You reply to schedule, publish or skip; nothing goes live on its own.

Does it work in Hindi and Marathi?+

Yes — you can message it in English, Hindi or Marathi, and ask for the post in any of the three (or Hinglish).
